Do I Have to File IFTA If My Truck Didn’t Run?

A lot of truckers think that if their truck didn’t move, they don’t have to file IFTA.

That’s not true.

Last week I helped a client who didn’t operate their truck at all during the year. Even with zero miles driven, the IFTA report still had to be filed, every quarter — just with zero miles and zero fuel.

If you skip the filing, the state can:

• Mark you non-compliant

• Charge penalties

• Suspend your IFTA account

A “zero mile” IFTA report is still a valid and required report.

If you’re not sure whether your IFTA was filed correctly, or you skipped a quarter because you didn’t run, GLS Insurance can help you fix it and stay compliant.
