    There must be boatloads of free apps out there to keep track of those things. Or.....find an accountant/bookkeeper familiar with the trucking industry to take care of these things for you. To run a successful business, there is ALL KINDS of financial stuff to keep in order. IFTA IRP is just one of many things you need to keep track of.

    I'd rather have a compliance review vs IFTA audit.

    If you are using a GPS or the right ELD, it should be assisting you with tracking miles for this purpose. The 6 yr old Garmin I use, from time to time, until we went on ELD, my boss would ask me to confirm some miles for my truck for a certain quarter, with our ELD she's able to download that information at any time.

    The OP is doing this the wrong way. I have had some of my individual owner operators face an IRP audit in NJ and they didn't have backup and they were fined a set amount after saying 'look, I run in NJ except for the 4 or 5 miles into NY's marine terminal in Staten Island a few times a month. I verify my settlement and deposit the check and toss the statement. I have no records other than fuel invoices."

    Records help get you started on a regular cycle of taking care of IFTA and IRP and they should leave you alone. When I started at my curent company IFTA was a mess and the NY HUT was a cycle behind [stickers renew every three years] and fixing up the IFTA tipped off NY to our NY mileage so they sent a bill...

    A bill for 100% of the miles at 80,000# rate and I had to file the missing quarters showing a lot of our box trucks instead of the larger units and dropped the invoice by 75% and paid it just in time to get the next cycle's HUT stickers.

    I still do not know how thye got away with expired stickers that long.

    Now that IFTA and IRP and HUT are on line, I have quarter after quarter, year after year with no inquiries...It has gotten easier!

    I run paper logs. Thank you all that replied with actual experience and numbers. Did I ask anyone how and what I need to do business wise? I asked maximum penalty for ifta irp audit to see if I should waste my time getting everything for them or just pay them since the time I can spend trucking can be more than wasting time gathering everything for them. I’d rather be trucking than dealing with them if I can just pay them off

    That may work, the first time BUT one cannot depend on staying off their radar year after year.

    I'm assuming they will add 20% to what you owe them for 1st offense & 50% if this is your 2nd offense.
