The Motive Vehicle Gateway uses its GPS sensor and the vehicle’s odometer to track the exact distance a vehicle travels in each IFTA jurisdiction every day. Fleet managers can generate reports in the Motive Fleet Management Dashboard to calculate the total distance each fleet vehicle traveled, and in which state/province for any date range.

The Motive Vehicle Gateway records a vehicle’s location each minute a vehicle is in motion. A report detailing a vehicle’s location history, combined with distance by jurisdiction, is available in the Motive Fleet Management Dashboard. This report can be used to identify and claim mileage exemptions.

Motive doesn’t yet automate IFTA fuel tax filing. Currently, Motive helps fleet managers with the most difficult part of the process — tracking the distance fleet vehicles travel in each jurisdiction. When drivers use the Motive Card, fuel purchases are automatically added, further simplifying IFTA reporting.

You will need an IFTA license and stickers if you operate a motor vehicle that’s built and used to transport property or people.
