You received the $223 because you fueled more gallons and fewer miles in Nevada. What you need to track is are you saving more than the $500 plus that you had to pay for California by fueling in Nevada. The Ifta usually washes out but where you save is by buying the fuel at the cheapest price possible.
Knight / swift don't let them buy fuel where they want. Alot of you drivers reading these posts need to get your minds out of prine knight swift all those companies that spend alot of money making sure when you Google owner operator information it shows what they want you to learn. If you are worried about ifta, heavy highway tax, 2290, registration for plates you have no business being a O/O
Right. I'm not sure OP understands this yet. If price is $4.00 in CA and $3.20 in NV, CA is about $0.06 cheaper. Also the discounts seem pretty lousy or nonexistent AFAICT
Damn they are screwing you on your fuel discounts. This week I only paid 12.4 cents per mile on fuel and we get our full fuel discount. The company doesn’t pocket any of it.
To blatantly say you won’t fuel in CA is potentially wrong. You need to take the price of the fuel minus any discount minus the state tax. This gives you the best cost. You want to buy the cheapest net cost you. Example I fueled in Ontario last week as it was the cheapest net cost I had between Los Angeles and my delivery in MT.
My fuel app makes this easy i have a “less-ifta” button that shows my the true base price. This is what I try to advise everyone to do but some people know better.
@@fozman845 I look at the fuel price “less-ifta” in my fuel search app, so I always pay the cheapest base fuel price irregardless of what that state charges tax wise at the pump. What you owe each state is calculated on the back end and is what it is, by doing this you end up paying the least amount that you possibly can by year end for fuel.
I’m retired now, but there used to be a paperback truck stop guide that had a chart of the fuel tax rates, and I’d deduct that from the price at the pump to figure out where I bought fuel - and almost always got a refund on my IFTA.
Hey I’m with the KNX family also (USX) and considering Lease with them. I had a question regarding fuel - I was told we only get discounts at Loves/PFJ, but could you add the fuel card to an app like TruckSmarter or Mudflap and get deeper discounts? I ask because I would assume the KNX family uses the same structure
Let's be clear the money you make is not what true owner ops make. Knight/ swift is great at screwing new drivers over. I see a bunch of noobs posting nonsense. You know I am not going to tell you expert noobs a dam thing. Freight is bad right now and I still do less than 2k miles a week and take home over 3500 after fuel. Do yourself a favor and find an actual owner operator that has his sht together and ask him questions. These lease purchase suckers are going give you bs. But good luk

With all these numbers it's sounds as your previous job was as an accountant. Your very good.
👍 Thank you, and God bless you out a Road. Stay Safe.
My goodness, it hurts to see you working for pennies.
You might be saving some in fuel costs versus the fuel tax charge in California.
I will ad also that I run 11 western states.
Can you let us see the inside outside of your truck. Thanks.😊
I'll probably do a video later on this....

I always fuel based on “pre-ifta” prices, ignoring ifta taxes all together and let it work out on the back end.
What kind of nonsense are you talking about?

2500 plus miles a week would make those numbers look much better.
Looks like $230 per on-duty day in profit on average.
Compared to just fueling up in California did you save versus fueling in Nevada
Hes in it for other ressons. He stated his goals previously.
Ifta will mwke you rethink life lol. Government got their hand out as always.
Government got their hand in your pocket as always. There, fixed it for you. :)
