- State laws require truck-operators to keep a record of distance driven and the fuel (including type of fuel) purchased in each state.
- Each trip report must cover all distances travelled including dead-head miles.
- Properly completed trip reports will help you avoid fines and assessments against your company.
- If your vehicle or unit breaks-down and you get a replacement or re-power unit, you must complete a separate trip report for each vehicle to cover the distance travelled for each unit, including fuel purchased.
