Can I deduct over $3000 in mileage incurred on my job where I must drive from store to store as a requirement.I was able to claim it last year, how about this year, 2018?

No, this is one of the pitfalls of tax reform for employees. You can no longer take the mileage deduction as an "unreimbursed employee expense". I encourage to discuss with their employer about increased compensation or a vehicle reimbursement because it's no longer a writeoff.

Employees can no longer deduct work-related mileage in tax years 2018 through 2025 due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) that Congress signed into law on December 22, 2017. Prior to the tax law change, employees could deduct mileage for commuting between multiple job sites during the same day, as well as commutes to temporary work locations and offsite business meetings.
