1st Quarter 2022 IFTA Reporting: Everything You Need to Know!

Posted on April 12, 2022 by Marcela De Vivo - IFTA, ifta report, IFTA reporting, IFTA reporting Online

If you are required to file your IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement), there are some important things you need to know before you get started.

When are 1st Quarter IFTA 2022 taxes due?

The First quarter deadline is actually May 2, 2022, this year because April 30th falls on a Saturday.

The data that is due for these deadlines includes mileage traveled and fuel purchased in each state during that quarter. It is then filed with your jurisdiction.

First Quarter IFTA 2022 Rate Changes

Another important thing to note is that the fuel tax rates for the IFTA do increase sometimes, and for 2022 that is the case for some states.

Su Solución Integral Para Un Camión Más Limpio Esta Primavera

Posted on April 5, 2022 by Marcela De Vivo - semi truck maintenance, truck maintenance

La primavera se acerca pronto y eso significa que es esa época del año en la que a la gente le gusta limpiar y refrescar sus casas y automóviles. Esto también puede aplicarse a los camioneros, ya que para muchos su camión es como su segundo hogar. Es importante mantener su hogar limpio. A continuación, encontrará algunos consejos útiles para mantener limpio su camión, así como algunos productos que pueden ayudarlo a estar más organizado.

Organización de Archivos y Papeleo

Una carpeta o un archivador pequeño para documentos importantes puede ser esencial, especialmente para tener en la parte delantera de su cabina en caso de que necesite acceder rápidamente a sus documentos. Si etiqueta las carpetas y mantiene todo en un lugar determinado, será más fácil encontrar todos sus documentos.

Contenedores de Almacenamiento

Las cosas a las que no necesita acceder mientras conduce, como artículos para la ducha y otros elementos esenciales, se pueden guardar en un contenedor de almacenamiento o debajo de su cama. Los contenedores y cajones de plástico pueden ser útiles para almacenar elementos esenciales que no se necesitan mientras se conduce. Ayudan a reducir el desorden y se pueden organizar fácilmente o incluso etiquetar si lo desea. Pueden venir en una variedad de formas, colores y tamaños para la máxima personalización. Los contenedores de almacenamiento también se pueden usar en el mini refrigerador de un camión para mantener los alimentos organizados.

Espacio de la Pared

Puede usar el espacio de la pared de muchas maneras creativas para ayudar a mantener su camión libre de obstáculos. Los organizadores colgantes pueden ser una excelente manera de hacer esto, especialmente usando cintas adhesivas y velcro. Las perchas plegables pueden ayudar a colgar la ropa en un armario con espacio limitado o incluso en la pared. Los ganchos adhesivos también son una buena manera de colgar sombreros, abrigos y bolsos. Siempre asegúrese de que todo esté seguro antes de comenzar a conducir.

Bote de Basura

Tenga a mano un bote de basura pequeño para que la basura se pueda desechar fácilmente en lugar de que genere desorden.

Otros Consejos

Quitar el Polen y Mantenerlo Fuera de su Camión

Ahora que es primavera, es posible que el interior de su camión no sea lo único que deba limpiarse. El polen comienza a caer y cubre los vehículos haciéndolos amarillos y antiestéticos en apariencia. Algunas formas de deshacerse del polen de su camión pueden ser enjuagarlo y lavarlo cada vez que tenga la oportunidad. Agregar una capa de cera al camión puede dificultar que el polen se adhiera a su camión. La limpieza de las escobillas del limpiaparabrisas también puede ser útil para evitar que el polen se propague por el parabrisas.

Beneficios de Limpiar su Camión

La limpieza de su camión puede tener más beneficios de los que piensa. Un ambiente de trabajo y de vida limpio puede ayudarlo tanto mental como físicamente. Algunos de estos beneficios incluyen:

Reducir el estrés y la fatiga.
Reducir los síntomas de alergia y asma.
Mejorar la seguridad
Reducir la propagación de gérmenes
Mantener las plagas alejadas
Dormir mejor
Aumentar la felicidad
Mayor concentración y productividad
Tiempo de inactividad más agradable
Mayor inmunidad

La organización y la limpieza pueden parecer tediosas a veces, pero un entorno de vida y de trabajo limpio puede convertirlo en una experiencia más positiva y puede ayudar a mejorar su calidad de vida en la carretera.

As you may know, March is Women’s History Month. Here at ExpressTruckTax, we want to celebrate and highlight the accomplishments of women in the trucking industry. The trucking industry has been thought to be a mostly male-dominated industry, but in recent years more and more women have started trucking, some even going as far as starting their own trucking companies.

Each week in March we will feature different women in the trucking industry and this week we are focusing on our very own expressAmber!

ExpressAmber is the face of ExpressTruckTax. From wacky to serious, she stars in videos that range in topics from starting your own authority, to quarterly and annual reporting/renewals including Form 2290, IFTA, IRP, UCR, and State Renewals, to the hottest topics in the trucking industry. You can tell just by watching any of her videos that she has a lot of fun doing what she does.

When asked to provide a quote about her involvement in the trucking industry, expressAmber had this to say:

“When I started working in the trucking industry almost 10 years ago, I was unaware of how amazing, strong, and dependable this community is. When you truly understand everything that goes into driving a truck and how truckers keep America going, it hits you differently. There is a poem that I love called, “God Made A Trucker”. If you haven’t heard it, go listen to it and know that there ARE so many people that appreciate what you do day-in-and-day-out!”

The Poem that ExpressAmber loves can be found at God Made A Trucker.

Currently, expressAmber is active on YouTube at expressAmber delivering the latest info about Form2290 and other trucking industry-related topics. She seeks to educate and enlighten people about the tax side of the trucking industry.

A Helpful Guide For Tackling Your IFTA Renewals This Year

Posted on December 1, 2021 by Marcela De Vivo - IFTA tax filing

Here at ExpressTruckTax, our team is all about helping you stay compliant and keeping your truck on the road. Whether that is by helping you file your Form 2290, or helping you stay ahead of other industry requirements.

It is important that you renew your IFTA licensing for 2021 on time! Many states’ renewal deadline is December 31, 2021.

With all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, we know how easy it can be to forget! So, we are breaking down the renewal process and providing all the information you need to get started!

A Crash Course in IFTA

Here’s a quick refresher. Get ready for a tongue twister! IFTA stands for International Fuel Tax Agreement. This was put into effect by the 48 states of the continental US and 10 Canadian provinces.

This is basically just a way to make the fuel tax collection and interstate commerce reporting easier for everyone involved.

Under federal law, you must abide by IFTA regulations if your vehicle is used, designed, or maintained for the transportation of persons or property, and at least one of the following is true:

Has two axles and a gross vehicle weight (GVW) or registered gross vehicle weight (GVW) of more than 26,000 pounds
Has three or more axles regardless of weight
Is used in combination when the weight of such combination is more than 26,000 pounds GVW or registered GVW.

If your vehicle qualifies for an IFTA license, then your vehicle also qualifies for the IFTA renewal!

Where Do I Start?

You should start with your base jurisdiction! Each year states send out a renewal packet, email, or some form of information to help you through the renewal process.

If your deadline for renewal is December 31, 2021, then you should have already received this.

If you haven’t already received your packet or email, it’s time to give your state’s IFTA department a call. You can also check for renewal information on their website.

Renewal Requirements

Most states will allow you to renew your license online through your IFTA portal.

Generally, most jurisdictions will require that you have filed and paid for the last four quarters if you were operating before they will renew your license for the next year.

The previous four quarters include:

2020, Quarter 4
2021, Quarter 1
2021, Quarter 2
2021, Quarter 3

Now, listen closely, this is very important: your renewal must be completed, signed, and returned by the deadline to ensure that there is no delay in receiving your license and decals.

Some states will offer drivers a grace period for displaying the new decals, but this is not true for every state. You will need to check with your jurisdiction to confirm this.

IFTA is Easier with TruckLogics
