Frequently Asked Questions: IFTA Fuel Tax Recovery
Fuel tax recovery is one of the most underutilized savings opportunities in fleet operations. Here are the questions we hear most often from carriers evaluating whether a fuel tax recovery program makes sense for their fleet.
What makes FleetFlo’s approach to fuel tax recovery different?
Most fuel tax programs stop at IFTA filing. FleetFlo goes considerably further. We analyze recovery opportunities at the individual state level, looking beyond standard mileage-based apportionment to identify fuel consumed in ways that qualify for refunds — reefer units, idle time, diesel-fired APUs, fuel used in distribution centers. Our proprietary software allows us to execute at scale while remaining fully transparent to your team, and we manage the entire recovery process end to end rather than handing off a filing and walking away.
How much can a carrier realistically recover?
Recovery potential scales directly with how much fuel your fleet consumes outside of propulsion on public roads. Carriers with significant reefer fuel use, high idle time, diesel APUs, or fuel consumed at distribution centers typically have the strongest recovery profiles. The more of those factors apply to your operation, the greater the opportunity. We assess each carrier individually before making any recovery projections — the right answer depends on your specific fuel mix and state-by-state operations.
How does the IFTA fuel tax recovery process work?
After identifying the recovery opportunities worth pursuing, FleetFlo establishes a data exchange protocol to retrieve the necessary fuel and mileage information from your systems. From there, we handle all filing, tracking, and follow-up with individual jurisdictions. You receive regular reporting on recovery status and amounts, and refunds flow back to you directly. The process is designed to require minimal lift from your team once the initial data connection is set up.
Does FleetFlo handle IFTA quarterly filing as well as fuel tax recovery?
Yes. FleetFlo manages both IFTA quarterly reporting and non-propulsion fuel tax recovery under one program. For carriers who want to consolidate fuel tax compliance with a single provider, this means one data feed, one point of contact, and one reporting system covering both obligations. It also means we can identify recovery opportunities directly from the same mileage and fuel data used for quarterly filing — rather than treating them as separate programs.

What makes your approach different?
a) We go very deep – looking at opportunities at the individual state level b) Our software allows us to execute at scale and stay super organized and transparent to your organization and c) we fully manage fuel tax recovery efforts – we don’t just stop at filing.
How much money can you save me?
That of course depends – the more fuel you consume NOT moving vehicles forward on public roads, the greater the opportunity. Lots of reefer fuel? Idle time? Diesel fired APUs? Fuel consumed in distribution centers? These are all good candidates for discussion.
How does the process work?
After we discover the opportunities worth pursuing, we will establish a data exchange protocol to retrieve the necessary information on our end – usually encompassing fuel and mileage data. Form there, let us do our thing and provide you with results.
