GPS for miles.
My Garmin has proved accurate for recording jurisdiction miles vs my ELD Big Road/ Fleet Complete which is a proven failure every quarter.

For fuel I get quarterly reports from Fleet One.

 

My dinosaur Garmin 560 dezl. Just remember to enter gallons and location every fill up. Went through an IFTA audit in 2020……elog data wasn’t able to be used and the auditor allowed me to recover data from my old gps unit….with paper receipts to supply the mileage that I reported. The final result: they owe me for a hundred gallons somehow! Fat fingers I guess.
Someone here in the forum told me years ago that I needed to keep paper records but I just use my quarterly IFTA report (generated by my home state) for my paper records.
The lesson I learned: glad I’m back on paper logs so that my mileage records won’t be compromised by stupid elog glitches!

 

So back in the day we had this thing called a notebook and we wrote down our odometer at the state line and we also wrote down how many gallons of fuel we purchased in that state. I’d have to say that’s still the cheapest option if your only concern is price.

 

No way!

Using paper, that's not environmentally freindly.

Did you use an electronic pen or something that would help you with writing it down?

We all heard about this invention - the pencil - but very few truckers have ever seen one in the wild and those who have been to the Museum of Ancient History claim there is one there.

 

The OP said they don’t want to have to write everything down, but being they said they’d be log exempt I thought I’d suggest the $5 idea and see if they’d be interested. I’d think being exempt they’d really only be running in a couple states at most depending on where they are at.

 

He wants an APP 4 that!

He failed Pencil and Paper training...an app that records things for him...My daughter's father in law used to work for IBM, I can ask.......

Meanwhile pencil/paper works well IF you pay attention to it.

I'll bet he would really gripe if he had to do the old MANUAL IFTA reports; it is so EZ to do on line.

 

For an app, instead of a notepad, use google sheets, then its already in a spreadsheet, a few autofill calculations and your ifta report would be done in 5 minutes on a computer every month/quarter

Get real fancy and make a second tab and use it to enter fuel, and you can see what your fuel mileage is without pulling out another calculator

I did the same thing until I got Trucking Office. I have a friend that just uses his GPS, and still does. But I had a Rand Mcnally that got a blue screen and wouldn't do anything. I contacted Rand Mcnally and was advised that because my GPS was 9 years old they no longer supported it. So if you are using your GPS for ifta miles and it breaks, you will loose all the information.
