    All miles for IFTA. They are reported on trip reports, where you enter miles and gallons for every state you traveled. On the trip reports, we're also supposed to enter the odometer readings form the start point and the end point of every trip.

    So since most my miles are local this is what a normal day of driving is like pretty much I drive in a big circle.
    Example
    1. Pick up my truck in ham lake mn where I park my truck
    2.drive to Lakeville mn get loaded
    3.drive to blaine mn get unloaded
    4.drive back to Lakeville mn get loaded sometime I do 3 or 4 times in a day
    5.drive to blaine mn get unloaded end my day
    6. Drive to ham lake mn where I park my truck and go home .

    So on my trip report where would be my destination stop.
    And on my trip report where it just say miles I am assuming they want the total miles for the day ?

    IFTA was designed to help truckers by reporting mileage/fuel purchase to only your home state. In order to do this your fuel mileage must be established, as well as your miles and fuel purchases per state.

    Your home state will then compensate states in which you purchased less fuel than you burned in that state, and collect funds from states in which you purchased more fuel than you burned.

    It is a paperwork burden, but believe me, it is far better than what we had to before IFTA. Dealing with each state individually was quite a chore.
