Anyone using programs to track vehicle distance and IFTA??

I record my distance the old school way on the bottom portion of my paper log long form (IFTA/IRP Report), additionally use my Rand McNally TND 730 LM which has a mileage calculator feature. Can plug into laptop via USB, download and print report.

 

How are you keeping track of the state miles currently?

 

Keep a spiral notebook and write the mileage when you cross the state line. Make them fill out a trip sheet showing miles in each state. If it's too hard for them, cut them loose.

 

The Rand McNally with paper as a backup. Fairly easy because we run pretty regular lanes.

 

I use linxup. (www.linxup.com)
They have gps with ifta included for extra fee.
I have regular gps right now, i can lookup any date and time where the truck past, which route and so on.
In the video on their website they show the plugin device. I have the hardwired gps, so there is nothing sticking out under the dashboard. Instalation is very easy - 3 wires. I know there are more companies that offer gps services, but this was the best option for me when i was choosing.

 

Drivers still need to fill out a trip report. I recently went through an IFTA audit and was told that they need a trip report from the driver for each trip.

 

Yup there is no easy way around it. Plus your miles are never going to match theirs. Just the way it is.
