Manually entering the distance traveled and fuel purchased in each jurisdiction in order to file your quarterly IFTA reports is tedious and time-consuming. With TruckLogics’ Samsara integration, clients can directly import the truck and trip details recorded in the ELD devices, such as miles traveled and fuel expenses, into their TruckLogics account. Once imported, clients can generate their IFTA reports with ease and accuracy.

Step 1:

Sign into your TruckLogics account.

Step 2: 

From the “IFTA” tab, choose the tax year from the dropdown menu and click “Get Started” under the quarter you wish to file for.

Step 3: 

To import trucks from Samsara, click ‘Add Truck’ and select "Import from Samsara".

Step 4: 

To access Samsara, login with your Samsara email and password.

Step 5: 

Choose the trucks that you want to import into TruckLogics and click 'Import'. If any of the listed trucks already exist in TruckLogics, merge them using the unit number to avoid duplication. Learn how to map trucks from Samsara
