IFTA question

No, you can actually use off road (red) diesel in a reefer.

 

Nope, that is why there is a separate selection for tractor/reefer at the pump and if the pump doesn't have it, after fueling the tractor shut off the pump and buzz the desk to tell them you're going to fuel the reefer.

 

You have to report all fuel. reefer fuel is reported in *non taxable fuel* column

 

+1 to this answer.

You don't report reefer fuel on an IFTA form because it will calculate into your MPG and you will pay more in IFTA tax. (i.e. Anything that lowers your MPG costs you more in IFTA.)

Always fill separately and mark the receipt if the machine didn't mark it already as used in the reefer. If you only have one tank for both propulsion and reefer then you are kinda hosed because you will not be able to fill out the refund form in the next paragraph, and it cannot be separated from your truck MPG calculation by the IRS.

At the end of the year, file a Form 4136 to get a refund on all of the road tax that you paid at the pump for the reefer fuel.

(same for APU fuel if you are smart)

 

odometer miles, you're supposed to record mileage when crossing state lines.

 

I have my accountant riding in the passager seat wherever I go.

She keeps track of miles, fuel records, taxes, hiway taxes, logbook, income taxes, pretrip inspections, insurance compliance, drug testing, county taxes, state taxes, federal taxes.

 

Explain how this works for the apu please. Mine pulls fuel from my passenger side fuel tank, so no separate tank to track.
