Meals expense for truckers in a partnership.

Partnership with 2 truckers.  How do they account for meals expense?  Do they pay themselves the per diem rate for each night they are out of town?  And then deduct it at 80% on the tax return?

The partnership should have a written reimbursement policy. Trips should be fairly easy to document with their log. Each trucker should submit a reimbursement request (e.g. https://www.google.com/search?q=reimbusement+request and that would be non taxable item for the trucker. The partnership would then take the deduction.
