You have to do all the leg work and submit miles to the 3rd party, and they simply enter it into the computer for a fee. All it takes is setting up accounts with your state IFTA and IRP website. Same with the states that charge heavy use tax. Find the website, create account. File and pay.

I have a regular spread sheet where I enter in every inch my truck rolls and every drop of fuel that goes in. I do my IRP at the end of the year. I could do it online but the website confuses me. Its really not hard to keep up with everything if you keep it organized. I have a simple spreadsheet where I physically type everything in.

It's a new requirement along with your 2290, insurance, ect. I've never paid a service to do it, ever. To many hands in our cookie jar already.

If you use a Transportation Management Software program for your dispatch load billings and fuel purchases, they usually have a built-in program to complete the quarterly filings. Check with your TMS provider. If you don't have a TMS, get one, it will simplify your record-keeping.

It communicates into Quickbooks and customer support is also good. Call the 888 number and they will get you going in the right direction. Phone: 888.509.5307 www.mile.com
