Mileage log
A record of miles traveled by vehicle and jurisdiction, used with fuel records for IFTA and cost review.
Why It Matters
Mileage log affects fuel records, tax support or quarter-end reconciliation. Bad source data can create cleanup work later.
How It Shows Up
- Mileage log may appear on receipts, transaction exports, quarterly reports or state recordkeeping instructions.
- It normally supports fuel records, but mileage records still have to come from another source.
- The field should be checked before quarter end, when missing data is harder to reconstruct.
Example
A carrier using mileage log should confirm that reports show dates, gallons, jurisdiction and unit data clearly enough to reconcile against mileage records.
Common Mix-Up
Fuel card data can support IFTA work, but it does not replace all IFTA records or state record retention rules.
What to Check
- Confirm which fields related to mileage log appear on receipts, statements or exports.
- Keep fuel records separate from mileage records and reconcile both before filing.
- Check the base jurisdiction or provider instructions for record retention rules.
Questions to Ask
- Which report includes mileage log?
- Can the data be exported by quarter and unit?
- Are original receipts or images retained in the portal?
