Case Study: Small Truck Company achieves $35,000 annual fuel-tax savings and improved efficiency with EROAD

Small Truck Company uses EROAD to save $35,000 annually in fuel taxes and gain efficiency and productivity improvements

Small Truck Company, based in Boardman, Oregon, operates 25 trucks hauling farm commodities across seven states and struggled to accurately record off-road mileage for fuel tax reporting. Drivers couldn’t reliably report the roughly 300 miles per day driven on farms during harvest, leading to about a 35% overpayment in fuel taxes, plus poor load status visibility and inaccurate billing and driver settlements. The company turned to EROAD and its TotalFleet solution to address these issues.

Using EROAD’s TotalFleet for four years, Small Truck Company implemented fleet management, safety/compliance (DVIR, driver scorecards) and tax reporting tools (IFTA, IRP, Oregon WMT, ODOT, RUAF). EROAD automated off-road mileage tracking, improved load-status visibility and payroll/billing accuracy, and delivered measurable results — saving about $35,000 annually in fuel taxes while boosting operational efficiency and productivity.
