Peterbilt 579

$170,000-$230,000

Can You Write Off Peterbilt 579?

Short answer: Yes: owner-operators can expense a 579 in the year placed in service; financing interest is deductible too.

Semi tractors and trailers are 3-year property for over-the-road use and can be fully expensed with 100% bonus depreciation; heavy highway use tax (Form 2290) and IFTA fuel taxes are deductible too.

Records to keep: Keep the purchase contract, the door-jamb GVWR sticker photo, and a mileage log showing business vs personal miles.
