The envelope looks normal, but the letter inside freezes your insides. It’s not good news. Hands trembling, the news can’t possibly be worse. Bring the records to prove miles per state and fuel purchases for two years ago. Fines and penalties will apply. Are there any more scary words than “IFTA Audits” to an owner operator trucker?
Is anyone prepared for the government to demand all their data from two years ago?
There’s no way to escape.
When the IFTA authorities reach out to us and say those dreaded words, is there anything more frightening? An IFTA audit can result in thousands of dollars in fines when a trucker can’t provide proof of their
- fuel purchases
- miles per state, regardless of loaded or deadhead miles
When the auditor arrives, are the records in order? Easy to access? Totalled and ready to defend the IFTA filing? Or is everything in a shoebox that just got pulled out of the back bedroom closet, sealed with bubblegum because there was no tape? Is there a knife thin enough and sharp enough to cut apart ten receipts that had maple syrup on them when the numbers were added up over breakfast at Burger King? Is there any hope with incomplete records?
Can you keep your trucking company alive when the IFTA auditor shows up at your door, expecting to see all the documentation immediately? What if you don’t have all your documentation?
There is no door to leave. There’s no window to jump from. Just the auditor, the piles of receipts, and a half-empty miles per state record.
For a week…
two weeks…
three weeks…
this nightmare haunts sleep and denies any relief from the stress that any IFTA audits can give.
