Can I claim use of my truck on my taxes.....?

[chevy]

Im a groundskeeper for a local apartment complex. I use my truck daily to haul trash and such. The only paper trail for that is on my time sheets. My boss writes on my time sheet whether Im in the office or out in the field. Mostly Im out on the property doing things. I havent wrote down mileage nor have I saved gas receipts. Can I claim use of my truck?

You can claim mileage for the use of the truck but you need to have receipts or a log book of miles driven daily to prove it. Without such a book, it would be hard to prove for 2008 but now that you are in a new year, you should start a log book for 2009.
