Download and Print an IFTA Report

IFTA is an important part of fleet compliance in addition to the ELD mandate and Hours of Service (HOS) management. The International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) is a fuel tax paid by commercial carriers to fund highway maintenance in 48 U.S. states and 10 Canadian provinces. Transflo Telematics can significantly help with IFTA compliance and reporting by tracking miles and fuel use.

  • Under the IFTA agreement, qualified motor carriers can obtain an IFTA license for their motor vehicles allowing them to travel through other IFTA jurisdictions and submit only one quarterly fuel tax return in their base jurisdiction for fuel usage.

  • If motor carriers are not registered with IFTA, they must comply with the fuel tax reporting guidelines of each individual jurisdiction in which they travel, which may include purchasing fuel trip permits.
