    The big deal is,,, if you switch lets say to 3 different roads within that state you will have to note the miles for each of those 3 roads,,,, its not just a simple total for that state.

    man if i had to do that i also would be frazzled...i found a long time ago to get a small hand held tape recorder so whenever i crossed a state line i would
    record my mileage...it also works great for the times when you think of something or go by a place you would like to remember to stop at on the way back through.it also works great for dispatch gotchas...

    When I do my IFTA Quarterly, online, there is no where on there that they ask for which roads we have traveled, only the miles broken down by state. I suppose that they would like to see which roads each driver is using the most or eventually be able to ask for that data. For us, we do about 50/50 interstate vs. two lane. But so far, no one has asked us for that information.

    From what i was told when i got my IRPand ifta 2 days ago its been this way all along just not enforced, but she said they have one guy being fined 11 grand right now.

    Its my feeling they put all these little things in the fine print so to say , to collect more money or have a way to nail you by the balls if they want or need to!

    On my trip envelopes I record mileage and highways travelled, but I don't break it down by mileage/highway ... perhaps someone else does. BTW, MS Streets and Trips (or any mapping/GPS) is very helpful in this regard, so I don't worry about recording anything until post-trip.

    I don't believe he was fined $11K for improper recordkeeping. More than likely, he was intentionally understating miles travelled, or buying untaxed diesel. We keep track of individual state miles only, and passed an IFTA audit with flying colors.

    IFTA accepts promiles routing . I never have to fill any fuel reports out . The carrier gets the needed info from Promiles .

    It's routing software used by carriers and the FMCSA . A friend of mine is applying for government contracts and they require him to use it . It gives actual miles and driving times between points and distances on each road . Auditors use it now and don't just accept average speed for the day . They'll use the software to check driving times between duty status change locations like checking time between leaving shipper and a fuel stop and fuel stop and where you stop for the night . So if you were delayed by traffic an hour to the fuel stop then try to show you got to the end of the day an hour earlier than you actually did because the daily average will be o.k. they'll catch it .
