Different types of diesel

Well alot has changed with being able to have things recorded electronically nowadays. Don't know if you are a company Driver or an owner operator. But in the old days you better have fuel receipts to turn in to the accountant/tax man. Yes, I know today things are recorded electronically and most don't need a paper receipt, but for one of the top expenses of trucking, Yes I want a paper copy so if the electronic one ever 'poofs' "Sorry we have no record of that" happens, I've got mine.
Alot of DOT inspectors used to ask where's the last place you fueled, then they would want to see a receipt to see if it had a time on it to try to match it up with your paper log, but alot if Truckstops didn't put a time on there just a date
Wouldn't worry about them asking about a receipt unless the fuel in your truck tank was dyed red, then you could probably expect a few more questions and one serious fine!

 

The taxed reefer fuel reimbursement isn’t done when you file the quarterly IFTA tax. It’s done when you file your annual taxes to the IRS. I don’t remember seeing anything about reefer when I file my quarterly IFTA taxes. I was asked for my total reefer fuel gallons when filing my annual IRS taxes through ATBS.

 

Technically we’re supposed to, but many of us don’t nowadays. If you fueled at Love’s, PFJ, or TA/Petro you should be able to download the fuel receipts online or through their app. Other than that, most of us have a secondary receipt from our fuel cards. I believe nowadays IFTA is okay with accepting fuel reports from our fuel cards instead of actual receipts, but maybe there is a state out there that will have a problem with not having primary receipts.

 

Its important that you write down your mileage every time your reefer cuts on......we dont want to pay IFTA too much....lol

 

I've never been inspected for my fuel or asked for fuel receipts. I heard that to be more common in the paper log days. They probably wont ask you for fuel receipts since you drive for FFE. All companies have record of fuel purchases on their fuel cards. Now dont get it twisted, I'm not saying that they wont check a truck from a big company, but if I'm a betting man, I'd say its unlikely

 

IFTA tax isn't charged on reefer fuel (no road use tax) sales tax yes but not fuel tax.... that's why cheaper and why it's illegal to use it in the truck

 

I know driver, I was only being funny. Though if IFTA could pull off a reefer tax on mileage they would

 

Sorry , I know I saw it on some form. So you wouldn’t even put those gallons down on the ifta form...?

And the feds are gonna give the state tax per gallon back...?

Now you peaked my interest..... do you get the whole fed and state tax back in full....?
