Transportation
Keep your operation moving. Keep more of what it earns.
Whether you run a single truck or a regional fleet, transportation businesses face regulatory complexity that most accountants aren't equipped to handle. We are — and we make sure the tax burden doesn't slow you down.
Key Challenges
We understand what keeps transportation businesses up at night.
IFTA Filing & Fuel Tax Compliance
Interstate carriers must file quarterly IFTA returns tracking miles and fuel by jurisdiction. We handle the calculations and filing so you stay compliant and avoid audits.
Vehicle Depreciation & Section 179
Trucks, trailers, and specialty vehicles are your largest capital assets. We model depreciation schedules to front-load deductions and reduce your tax burden in high-revenue years.
Per Diem & Driver Deductions
Drivers are entitled to significant per diem deductions that are frequently missed or miscalculated. We ensure every eligible deduction is captured and documented.
Owner-Operator vs. Fleet Structure
The right entity structure depends on whether you're leasing to carriers, running under your own authority, or both. We advise on structure and keep your books clean regardless of complexity.
