Advice For Logging Miles Through Each State...

Not only each year, but you will need to know this for IFTA quarterly as well.

 

You file with the home state. They distribute from there.

 

You file the form in your home state with all the miles for each state on it. They should have the forms you will need for that, and many states now have an online filing option for the IFTA.

 

Tape recorder of the odometer on the state border.

Keep a running log in excel and update each day.

 

this is what i do- Example

Lets say im in NC going to NJ, i would write a list like below \/

Start: Insert Miles at start of load (where you last MT'ed out)
Load: Insert Miles at the shipper
VA: Write down the miles as you cross each state line
WV:
MD:
DE:
PA:
NJ:
End: Write down the miles at the receiver

then all you do once your done with the trip is subtract and you have your miles for each state, and for the whole load.....as well as MT and Loaded miles.....Ta'da
