FleetCollect has launched a comprehensive compliance platform designed to automate International Fuel Tax Agreement reporting and driver qualification file management for the trucking industry. The solution addresses persistent challenges faced by carriers who still rely on manual processes for tracking miles and maintaining compliance documentation.
The platform's IFTA tracking software transforms smartphones into automated mileage tracking devices through GPS technology. Available on both iPhone and Android devices, the application records state-by-state mileage automatically as drivers travel their routes, eliminating the need for manual odometer readings and paper logs. This automation represents a significant shift for owner-operators and small fleets who traditionally spend weekends calculating quarterly tax obligations.
Beyond tracking, FleetCollect includes a built-in IFTA mileage calculator that processes GPS data and fuel purchase records to generate quarterly reports ready for filing. The system calculates net tax owed or credits due by jurisdiction and produces reports matching base jurisdiction requirements. Carriers can evaluate the functionality through a free IFTA calculator available at https://fleetcollect.net/ifta.
The platform's fleet DQF portal digitizes the entire driver qualification file process required under 49 CFR Part 391 regulations. It tracks all 18 required documents including CDL copies, DOT medical cards, motor vehicle records, drug tests, and Clearinghouse queries. AI-powered document scanning identifies uploaded materials and extracts expiration dates, while automated alerts notify carriers before credentials lapse. This digital approach ensures audit-ready compliance with immediate accessibility for DOT inspections.
FleetCollect positions itself as an affordable alternative to enterprise fleet management systems, with pricing starting free for basic DQF management and IFTA software plans beginning at $9 per month. The company emphasizes no contracts, no setup fees, and no per-truck pricing structures that could hinder business growth. For carriers comparing options like Motive IFTA reporting or J.J. Keller IFTA solutions, FleetCollect offers a focused compliance solution without the complexity of full fleet management suites.
The company is expanding its offerings with an upcoming electronic logging device solution that will integrate directly with the existing IFTA tracking software and fleet DQF platform. This integration will provide carriers with a unified system for hours of service compliance, GPS IFTA tracking, fuel tax reporting, and driver qualification management.
The platform serves multiple segments of the trucking industry including owner-operators transitioning from paper tracking, small fleets using spreadsheets for IFTA calculations, growing carriers needing scalable solutions, and new carriers seeking compliant operations from their inception. The IFTA tracking app is available through both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, with additional information accessible at https://fleetcollect.net.
