    right. You are techniclly requred to buy as much fuel in the state as you would burn for the miles you drive. You don't do that so when you buy your fuel in one state and drve through 4 then Ifta takes the tax you paid in the ne state you bought fuel in and distributes it to the ones you drove in but didn't buy fuel in.

    you pay no more then if you would have bought the proper amount of fuel in each state you ran in. It's a mess for paerwork but that's about it. Actually when I had my authority there was no ifta and you had to file every state independantly. Talk about a nightmare

    There was a thread started a few months ago, maybe even back in the summer, that highlighted all the famous celebrities who were once truck drivers. They might be more inclined to get on board perhaps?

    Hmm.. I'd like to see that. I know Kevin Costner was a truck driver but that's the only one I can think of.

    We may be on to something. This cause needs a spokesman.
