If I have a decal for my business on my truck, can I deduct all of my mileage as being for business?

No. Having a decal or a removal sign that helps to advertise your business does not entitle you to deduct all of your driving as business mileage. You’re limited to the actual miles driving for business purposes, such as seeing customers and meeting with vendors.
