Episode 80: Understanding Fuel Taxes

You’re buying fuel in all the WRONG places and for all the WRONG reasons. IFTA isn’t all that difficult to understand, but people have made it much more complicated than it needs to be. We will break it all down and show you how we buy fuel and where we buy it to get the most savings.

You guys are giving 1st rate information that I haven’t come across anywhere else. Thanks for all you do.

Thank you

If its about how many miles you run in each state, this begs a question in my mind. Are these mega companies that pay drivers short miles instead of practical or hub miles, using those same short miles for filing ifta or do they magically discover hub miles for filing ifta? If its short for both then it seems the states and drivers are getting screwed, and if its just drivers getting short miles how can they justify that if they know exactly how many miles they’ve run in each state for filing ifta. Please correct me if I’m wrong in my understanding.

So Landstar does the IFTA for you right? They just take it out your settlement?

Thank you for the fuel tip! I started last week. Previous I was buying where the tax was higher(as needed) and the Landstar discount was Highest. Great podcast.

I delivered fuel can you say there is additive packages there are specific brands that have markers in their fuel and biodiesel versus regular diesel is overall difference of about 10% loss of fuel economy for bio

So does the Landstar app show just what the cost of fuel is without the tax because obviously that makes sense because your mileage in the states going to be a state of matter why it’s better to find where the cheapest fuel is not worry about the field tax because you’re not going to affect that by going to routes and the destinations that you plan on doing

[@bruceevert1655]

Click the tax box and it will only show the cost of fuel minus the Landstar Discount.
