FleetCollect Launches Automated IFTA Mileage Tracking App for Motor Carriers

FleetCollect, a trucking software provider, has launched its IFTA mileage tracking mobile app designed to help motor carriers automatically calculate quarterly fuel tax obligations under the International Fuel Tax Agreement. The app uses GPS technology to detect state border crossings in real-time, replacing error-prone paper logs and spreadsheet tracking that cost carriers thousands in missed fuel tax credits annually. Motor carriers operating commercial vehicles across state lines must file IFTA quarterly reports with their base jurisdiction, with the Q1 2026 filing deadline being April 30, 2026. Inaccurate mileage reporting can trigger IFTA audits, which examine four years of records and carry penalties up to $50 per day for late filings plus additional assessments for underreported fuel taxes.

Herman Armstrong, founder of FleetCollect, explained that owner-operators using manual tracking consistently undercount state-line crossings, especially on multi-stop routes. The GPS tracking captures every jurisdiction change automatically, with one customer recovering $3,200 in fuel tax credits after their first quarter using the app. The FleetCollect IFTA mileage tracking app features automatic GPS-based state and province border detection, one-tap trip start with 30-day background tracking, fuel purchase logging with location and price capture, and quarterly IFTA report generation for all 48 IFTA member jurisdictions. The app supports US states and 10 Canadian provinces and includes a free IFTA tax calculator available at https://fleetcollect.net/ifta.

The app is available now for iPhone and Android, with pricing starting at $9 per month for solo owner-operators and fleet plans for carriers with multiple drivers at $5 per truck. FleetCollect also supports dispatchers, bookkeepers, and accountants who file IFTA on behalf of trucking clients. The web dashboard provides access to trip data, fuel logs, and completed IFTA reports across multiple carrier accounts, reducing quarterly filing time from hours to minutes. This automation addresses a significant pain point in the trucking industry where manual tracking methods have led to substantial financial losses through missed credits and potential audit penalties. The platform serves motor carriers and IFTA filing professionals throughout the United States and Canada, providing audit-ready quarterly reports that comply with IFTA requirements across all member jurisdictions.
