I was leased to a guy that required trip sheets with route numbers taken. Now that I am Independent and my wife is doing alot of the IFTA and Admin for me, she things in case of an audit of some kind, I am gonna need the record of route numbers. My ELD gives me all the state by state mileage I need. I don't need the route numbers right?
IFTA or Audit need Route numbers?

I’ve been though a IFTA audit also. What they did with me was they would enter a trip into Google maps, and if the mileage matched up to what I had, they didn’t care. If the reported mileage was way off from Google, they asked for route.
My drivers fill out trip sheets, which has start mileage, end mileage, state line mileage, and a general route. Nothing too specific, just major hwys. This was enough to satisfy the audit.stillwurkin and RoginVa Thank this. -
We can show the GPS route minute by minute...caught up on a few 'hiding spots' we didn't know about...since we do a lot of LTL and strive to come back with some of tomorrow's freight; it is about the only way we could prove a day's mileage for any of our company guys. I couldn't do this with paper

We do short trips, the vast majority in our home state (TN). One driver may make 3 or 4 trips a day, with multiple stops on each one. Since the vast majority is intrastate travel, we only fill out trip sheets when we go out of state. The auditors were ok with this.
