Are you tired of hearing about the IFTA filing due at the end of the month?

So are we.

But there are some people out there who aren’t tired of it – because it’s their job.  The auditors.  

IFTA Audits and Trucking Dispatch Software

Maybe the auditors are tired of doing audits.  I would be tired of having people unhappy with me when I have a pile of unsorted paperwork to work with.

Nobody enjoys an audit.  We’ve talked about it in the past:  what to expect when you face an audit.  

1. Be prepared with the paperwork –  don’t make the auditor work harder than they need to.  
2. Don’t be rude or defensive – no need to make the auditor annoyed or angry.
3. Find a software program that will make it simple.

Lots of people think that Quickbooks is going to make it simple.  Easy access to reports… but those reports aren’t about trucking and mileage per state… That’s not good.

Or you think you can do it all on Google.  You know what you need… but you’ll spend hundreds of hours doing the programming instead of hauling loads and making money.  That’s not good.

Or you may already have a software program that handles your IFTA – if you put the numbers in correctly when you retype the data from one computer to the other.  That’s not good at all.

Are You Scared of an IFTA Audit?

The quickest solution:  Use a trucking dispatch software that manages it all:  dispatches, billing, and IFTA filing.  Then when the auditor comes to call (or asks you to send in all your documentation) you’ll be ready.
