ExpressIFTA alternative: the whole IFTA quarter, not only the report
ExpressIFTA made IFTA report generation simple, and its reporting now runs through TruckLogics. If you file for several carriers, or you want the checks, approvals and audit records around the report, IFTAflow covers the whole quarter in one place.

When a per-report tool is the better choice
If you are one carrier with clean data and you only need the finished numbers once a quarter, a $24.95 report costs less than any monthly plan. That is a fair reason to stay.
IFTAflow makes sense when the work around the report is what costs you time: chasing carriers for files, catching mistakes, getting approval and keeping records an auditor will accept.
What a quarter looks like in IFTAflow
- Request: every carrier gets an automatic email with a secure upload link, and reminders until the files arrive.
- Import: fuel card exports and ELD mileage reports as CSV or Excel. Column settings are saved per client.
- Check: duplicate fuel, fuel in a state with no miles, missing miles, MPG out of range, unmatched units and cards.
- Calculate: fleet MPG and tax or credit for all 58 jurisdictions, with surcharges and split rates.
- Approve: the carrier approves the return online, or you record the approval.
- File and archive: record the confirmation number. The quarter is locked and kept for 4 years.
Pricing compared
A service firm that prepares 40 returns a quarter pays about $798 per quarter at $19.95 per report. Those 40 carriers might run 200 trucks in total. In IFTAflow that is the Pro plan: $747 per quarter on monthly billing, or $622.50 on annual billing, with all features included.
IFTAflow is priced by active trucks, with unlimited carriers on every plan: Solo $49/month (20 trucks), Starter $99/month (50 trucks), Pro $249/month (250 trucks) and Business $499/month (750 trucks). Annual billing gives 2 months free. A truck only counts in a quarter in which it has miles or fuel. The trial is free for 7 days, with no credit card.
Common questions
Is ExpressIFTA still available?
ExpressIFTA sign-ups now go through TruckLogics, which is run by the same company. The IFTA-only option there generates a quarterly report for a per-report fee.
Does IFTAflow file my IFTA return with the state?
No. Like most IFTA tools, IFTAflow prepares the return and you submit it in your base jurisdiction's portal. IFTAflow then stores the confirmation and locks the quarter.
Can I move mid-year?
Yes. Each quarter stands on its own. Import that quarter's fuel and mileage files and you can prepare the next return in IFTAflow.
