Car mileage when associated with a trucking company.

Trucking company has 9 semi trucks that can not use standard mileage rate because they are considered a qualified non-personal-use vehicle. However they have a personal vehicle that they use 25% for business purpose in the trucking company. Does the 4 car rule in Pub 463 apply to the car or can they still take standard mileage?

They, who, owns this car? A "personal" car means not owned by the business entity? Which means submitting for reimbursement to that employer under the terms of An Accountable Plan. Not what you asked.

"They" refers to the owner of the company. It a single member LLC filing on a Schedule C.

Pub 463 helps by defining car:

vs equipment.
