I recently became a lease op and consequently pay for my own fuel and taxes. I've had more experienced owner and lease ops tell me I shouldn't fuel in Oklahoma, Oregon, or Kentucky. I want to ask why that is. I'm sure there's a good reason, I just don't know what it is. Please make me smarter!
Are certain states bad to fuel in?

Not sure why they told you not to buy there. Basically you have to pay fuel mileage in any state you run and depending how much fuel you buy in that state you either get a credit or pay more
-
It is in your best interest to call someone like OOIDA and have them explain it to you because it's not just about knowing it's better to not fuel in some states, you also need to understand IFTA tax as well.
Not that there's not a lot of informed individuals on here on the subject. Its that everbody will explain it in a different way and your head will be spinning and you'll most likely be ..... Huh? Wtf. -
Go to Letstruck.com, Kevin Rutherford explains exactly how you should be buying fuel and it has nothing to do with any state in particular. Also if you dont have a fuel program yet look into Nastic thy can save you alot of money buying fuel.

Kentucky I think will only credit 50% of your overages.
Ect. Ect. This is something that is paying their own fuel need to have a good grasp on. -
Bean Jr. Thanks this.

I think ky is a low tax rate state anyway. So if someone bought a lot of fuel there and ran in higher tax states they'd owe money anyway.
I don't imagine any jurisdiction just telling the others to piss up a pipe if they collected a lot more than their fair share.Mattflat362 and Bean Jr. Thank this. -
But some one on here that knows what there talking about posted about ky. -

If ky or in won't share it then whichever states they owe it to can chase them. I don't see how someone filing ifta can be liable when they do the calculations and submit the money to their home state. I don't buy it.
Bean Jr. Thanks this.
