Bookkeeping Services for Trucking Companies

Trucking companies carry compliance requirements most bookkeeping doesn't handle, IFTA fuel tax calculations, per-mile costing, and owner-operator settlements that all need to reconcile exactly.

Profitjets provides tax services that automate fuel tax tracking across every state you operate in, and bookkeeping services that reconcile owner-operator settlements accurately every week, covering mileage, fuel, and per diem.

Our trucking business accounting services build per-mile costing models, so you know which lanes are actually profitable once real costs are factored in, not just revenue per mile. Whether you run a small fleet or manage multiple owner-operators, our trucking bookkeeping keeps filing, settlements, and records accurate and audit-proof year-round.

What Trucking Businesses Say

Anthony Basile
Owner, IDS Trucking Co.

IFTA Fuel Tax Finally Calculated Without the Headache

“Every quarter, calculating our IFTA fuel tax liability across multiple states took one of our office staff nearly a full day. Profitjets tax services automated the tracking, and that same calculation now takes minutes. That person now handles dispatch instead of buried in spreadsheets every quarter.”

Marcus Delgado-Ruiz
Owner, Delgado-Ruiz Freight Lines

Owner-Operator Settlements Finally Reconciled Correctly

“Settling up with our owner-operators every week involved manually cross-checking mileage, fuel, and per diem, and errors crept in constantly. Profitjets bookkeeping services built a system that reconciles all of it automatically, and the errors stopped. Our owner-operators trust their settlement statements now in a way they didn't before.”

Denise Okonjo
CFO, Okonjo Trucking Group

Per-Mile Costing That Finally Showed Real Profitability

“We knew our revenue per mile but had no clear picture of our actual cost per mile once fuel, maintenance, and driver pay were factored in. Profitjets accounting services built that costing model, and it changed which lanes we prioritize. We've shifted more of our fleet toward the routes that actually make us money.”
