Dealing with IFTA and creating reports when you have a fleet of 10 or even 100 trucks in your company could very easily turn to a nightmare for the person in charged. Most common obstacles people in charged for creating IFTA reports face are following:
- it is very hard to collect all the diesel bills
- a lot of diesel bills gets lost by truck drivers
- all the lost diesel bills you need to extract data from fuel card reports which take a lot of time
- drivers don’t deliver documents on time and very often they are late
- some drivers are not punctual and cause a lot of problems
In dealing with these situation takes a lot of patience and diplomatic skills to get all the things you need and create all IFTA reports – sometimes you feel like you are fighting again windmill.
So I would say that creating IFTA Reports actually is not that complicated but rather it is hard to collect all the information and data you need to create it. Once the data is collected any person working on reporting is capable to finish it within few hours maximum.
