Fuel receipts, odometer readings and trip records. They don't care about HOS, they want to know how many miles you drove in each state,and how much fuel you bought in each state.
If you can't document where you drove your miles, or your fuel purchases, you might want to just bring vaseline...p608, whoopNride, stayinback and 2 others Thank this. -
I'll help you out here.
Yes,Im an Independent carrier, Now..........
You'll Need All your fuel receipts For the Months you are audited- You'll Need your Trip reports- (Where you went etc etc), You'll Need Copies of your quarterly filings for the months you are being audited
Trip reports very important- (Where you were going-Miles traveled,Places you bought fuel etc)
Don't get too worked up about it- Your doing your best- They Know this......If you owe money,You owe money- Simple as that......Its not a big deal- You can actually just drop them off-And when their done they call youclausland Thanks this. -

That should be your goal. -
I've been through two ifta audits. Not a big deal if you have good record keeping habits. I had everything pulled and waiting for them when they arrived. Prior ifta returns, detailed fuel purchase reports, and organized trip reports being the main thing. Plus logbooks, bols, invoices and bank deposit records as supporting documents. Was over by lunch time.
With no or less than complete records I would expect them to suspend your ifta account and require a bond to reactivate it.TallJoe Thanks this. -
Contrary to what you read here- Your Small time compared to carriers with dozens/hundreds of trucks-
Believe me, Their not looking to make money off of you- There will be very little to make
They want the Farm guy tucked deep out in the country with 9 trucks/ Or the 1099 guys up in Arlington heights with 6-15 trucks...Or the massive 100-1000 truck carriers......
If they just want to Audit 2 months of IFTA- This shouldn't even be an issue- Show em what you got- And thats it- Dont Worry.mp4694330 Thanks this. -
I don't know...a guy with messed up trip reports (no odometer readings) and missing some fuel receipts had to pay 5K fine...he had about 5 trucks at the time, not a very organized fellow. The funny thing about that was that he had the audit at his home...his office. A guest comes over to your house for a visit and leaves with 5 grand. That's called hospitality. LOL
Oh...he was leased on at the time...it was Illinois IRP audit.stayinback Thanks this.
