Does LedgerHelm file my IFTA returns?

LedgerHelm provides a quarterly IFTA fuel summary by state which you submit to your base state IFTA reporting service. We do not file IFTA returns directly, but the summary makes it fast and accurate.

How does per diem tracking work?

You log your days on the road (or sync from your ELD if supported). LedgerHelm calculates your per diem deduction at the current IRS rate and includes it in your Schedule C prep.

I have multiple trucks — can I track them separately?

Yes. On Fleet Pro, each truck is tracked as a separate dimension so you see profitability, maintenance costs, and fuel efficiency per truck.

What about owner-operators I hire as subcontractors?

On Fleet Pro, LedgerHelm identifies owner-operators paid over $600, collects their W-9, and files their 1099 via TaxBandits. $50 per contractor add-on.

My loads come from different brokers — can I track income by broker?

Yes. Load income is tracked by customer or broker using job tagging, so you can see which relationships are most profitable.

Bookkeeping for truckers

LedgerHelm automatically tracks your fuel expenses by state, calculates your per diem deductions, and gives you a quarterly IFTA summary — so you can focus on the road, not the paperwork. From $99/mo.

Sound familiar?

IFTA reporting every quarter takes me hours and I'm never sure I'm doing it right

I know I'm missing per diem deductions but I don't track my days on the road

My fuel receipts are in a shoebox and I have no idea what I spent in each state

I have three trucks and no idea which one is actually making money

My accountant doesn't understand trucking and I end up explaining everything every year

If you answered yes to any of these, LedgerHelm was built for you.
