    All you need for IFTA are proper receipts, does Murphy provide them?

    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica]The fuel records shall contain all of the following information:[/FONT]
    • [FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Date of each receipt of fuel.[/FONT]
    • [FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Name and address of the person selling the fuel.[/FONT]
    • [FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Number of gallons received.[/FONT]
    • [FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Type of fuel purchased.[/FONT]
    • [FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Vehicle or equipment into which the fuel was placed.[/FONT]
    • [FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Price per gallon or total gallons received (number of tax-paid gallons of fuel loaded in each jurisdiction).[/FONT]
    • [FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Purchaser's name. (In the case of a lessee/lessor agreement, receipts will be accepted in either name, provided a legal connection can be made to the reporting party).[/FONT]
    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Fuel receipts that do not meet the above requirements may be disallowed as tax-paid credits in an audit. Additionally, the department will not accept altered or erased receipts to support a claim of tax paid purchases.[/FONT]

    Don't get audited without the proper receipts.

    Not all receipts are created equal. Most ComData rec are as you describe. But many newer places Com,s are not. I fuel at a place in Vernal ,UT that I have to fill in a lot of what you posted. Never had any audit problems. I have used the Murphy's many times when available. Once I get out of TX or OK they get a scarce.
    Hrdman is right though. If you can get in and save a bunch per gallon without losing too much time go for it.
    If I do use small station I will try to do it when I am shutting down or getting going. Some have auto nozzles and it can take a long time to pump 2-300 gallons.

    Murphy's does provide the correct info on receipts, not that I even bother with reciepts since I pay with a fleet card.

    Both our local Murphy's have enough room to get a tractor trailer into and its not uncommon to see two of our trucks at the Diesel island at the same time, one pointed east and one pointed west.

    We have filled our truck at Wal Mart a few times. It can be a struggle to get in and out, but the savings are real. My only beef is that I always get a small diameter fuel hose running car type volume/pressure. It takes quite a while to fill my tanks, plus, I have to turn the truck around after doing one side.

    That Arizona tip above is very real. Don't try buying fuel at a gas station in AZ. The pump states it is against the law to put it in a commercial vehicle.

    It is not illegal to put it into a commercial vehicle.

    The rule is a commercial vehicle over the stated weight.

    Hey Travo, I remember when they did that. We just moved to Stevens Point from Tomah a year ago.
