I'm not in the transportation industry, which seems to be the focus of the per diem topic. I work in a remote area of the state where food and supplies are very expensive. Examples; bananas $4.00/lb, regular gasoline $6.00/gal. With a 2 and 2 schedule, that puts me there for half the year.

Unfortunately, these expenses are no longer deductible.
Job-related expenses for employees are no longer deductible in tax years 2018 through 2025 due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) that Congress signed into law on December 22, 2017.
In 2017 and prior tax years, employees could deduct unreimbursed expenses that the IRS considered "ordinary and necessary" for work, for example; uniforms, tools, union dues, licenses, travel between job sites, and so on. These were considered miscellaneous itemized deductions subject to the 2% rule.
