Pro-Rate & IFTA

Logbook Auditing

Commercial transport legislation requires all commercial carriers to provide Hours of Service training to their employees. In addition to that training, each carrier is required to monitor the completed log sheets of their drivers and notify them of any errors. We refer to this process as log auditing.

Log Auditing is a service that we provide to many of our clients. We have developed a simplified system that provides efficiency and helps each driver ensure the accuracy of their logs. While completing the log auditing for our clients that are federally regulated carriers, we can retrieve and calculate the relevant information required to complete IFTA and Pro-rate returns, saving time and stress at filing time.

International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA)

A 2 axle commercial vehicle weighing 11,797kg or more, or has 3 axles, regardless of the weight, that crosses a provincial or federal boundary can qualify to be part of the IFTA program. This program delegates the proportionate amounts of fuel tax paid by each commercial vehicle to the appropriate province or state based on the kilometers that unit travels in that jurisdiction each year. Carriers that are part of the IFTA program are required to track the data of each commercial vehicle in their fleet that they have registered in the program and file quarterly reports based on that data.

These reports must be completed accurately and filed by a specific deadline. Performance Business Consulting can take care of these tasks for you, ensuring that quarterly reports are filed on time and correctly. For those clients whom we are completing log auditing, these tasks are seamlessly completed with the log auditing to ensure all reports are accurate and reflect exactly what is reported elsewhere.

Prorate Services

A commercial vehicle, regardless of weight, that crosses a provincial or federal boundary must be authorized to operate in each jurisdiction it travels in. This can be done either by registering the vehicle in multiple jurisdictions or by registering the vehicle with Prorate services. This service delegates the proportionate amount of the registration fees of each commercial vehicle to the appropriate province or state based on the kilometers that unit travels in that jurisdiction each year. Carriers that are members of the Prorate services are required to track the data of each commercial vehicle in their fleet that they have registered in the program and file annual renewals based on that data.
