In transportation, margins are thin and costs move fast. Fuel prices swing week to week, equipment payments never stop, and a single slow-paying shipper can squeeze your cash flow. Meanwhile, IFTA, IRP, and heavy vehicle use tax filings keep piling up.
Our trucking accounting services are built by a logistics accounting team that understands how freight businesses actually run. We connect your TMS, fuel card, factoring, and payroll data to your books, so you get clear, accurate numbers every month and a trusted partner who speaks your language, from settlements to cost per mile.
Carriers and logistics companies tend to run into the same problems as they grow. Here's where we help most:
Fuel, maintenance, insurance, tolls, and driver pay all hit differently by truck and lane. We break out costs by unit, driver, and route so you can price loads with confidence.
Waiting 30 to 60 days on shippers while paying fuel and drivers weekly strains cash. We manage receivables, reconcile factoring, and forecast cash so you can cover payroll without scrambling.
IFTA quarterly returns, IRP apportionment, and Form 2290 heavy vehicle use tax all rely on accurate mileage and fuel records. We keep the data clean so filings are on time and audit-ready.
Per-mile pay, owner-operator settlements, per diem, and 1099 versus W-2 classification all carry payroll and tax risk. We help you track and document them correctly.
Tractors and trailers are your biggest investments. We track equipment financing, leases, and depreciation so you can plan purchases and use available tax deductions.
Accessorials, detention, fuel surcharges, and broker fees make freight accounting messy. We match invoices, payments, and load records so revenue is reported accurately.
From weekly settlements to year-end tax planning, our team handles the full financial side of your transportation business.
Monthly bookkeeping that reconciles freight revenue, fuel cards, factoring advances, tolls, and repairs to your bank, with books that close on time every month.
Cost tracking by truck, trailer, and driver, including fuel, maintenance, insurance, and equipment financing, so you know which units make money and which ones cost you.
Invoice matching, accessorial and fuel surcharge tracking, broker and shipper collections, and factoring reconciliation to keep freight revenue accurate and cash moving.
Tax preparation and planning for carriers and logistics firms, including IFTA support, Form 2290, per diem, depreciation strategy, and entity structure reviews.
Lane and customer profitability, budgets, cash flow forecasting, and KPI dashboards that help you decide when to add trucks, hire drivers, or take on new contracts.
Our accounting for trucking companies and logistics providers is built around how you move freight:
Truckload, LTL, flatbed, and specialized carriers that need reliable books, cost per mile reporting, and compliance support.
Growing operators who want to spend time on the road, not on paperwork, with a clear view of profit on every load.
Brokerage and third-party logistics firms managing carrier payables, shipper receivables, and gross margin by load.
Logistics businesses balancing storage, labor, and delivery costs across facilities and customer contracts.
Monthly financials that show cost per mile, revenue per truck, and lane profitability, delivered on schedule.
Clean mileage and fuel records that support IFTA, IRP, and 2290 filings, so audits don't derail your week.
Proactive planning around equipment purchases, depreciation, and per diem from a transportation tax and accounting team that knows the industry.
Full-service outsourced accounting that feels in-house, with responsive people who know your business by name.
Transportation accounting services typically include bookkeeping, freight revenue and receivables tracking, fleet cost reporting, driver settlement support, fuel tax recordkeeping, financial statements, and tax preparation and planning. At Vertices, we tailor the package to your fleet size, operating model, and goals.
Yes. We organize the mileage and fuel data your IFTA and IRP filings depend on and help you stay on schedule with the heavy highway vehicle use tax on IRS Form 2290. Clean records make filings faster and audits far less stressful.
Cost per mile is your total operating costs, including fuel, driver pay, maintenance, insurance, equipment payments, and overhead, divided by total miles driven. We track those costs by truck and period so you see an accurate, current figure you can use to quote loads.
Absolutely. Our logistics accounting covers carrier payables, shipper receivables, and gross margin by load, so brokers and 3PLs can see which customers and lanes are most profitable.
A transportation tax and accounting team understands fuel taxes, per diem, owner-operator settlements, and equipment depreciation, areas where general bookkeeping often falls short. That expertise helps you avoid penalties and make better decisions about your fleet.
