Frequently Asked Questions
Payroll software for trucking companies is built specifically for the trucking industry to help deal with complex trucker payroll issues including location-based time tracking, multiple pay rates, per diems, fuel bonuses, and many other industry-specific needs. Tracking mileage, HOS compliance, and IFTA taxes can take your trucking company payroll software to the next level.
Of course! And you can pay contractors too. With Gusto’s customizable pay rates, you can set up a different pay rate for as many types of employees as you’ve got on payroll. Whether by hour, mile, or percentage of load, keep track of your complex team with ease.
The trucking industry comes with a set of complex compliance obligations. Every rig must register with the International Fuel Tax Association (IFTA) in their base jurisdiction and track miles in each state they drive through. IFTA taxes are then filed and paid quarterly through the base jurisdiction. Check out your state’s website to learn more. In addition to IFTA, trucker payroll is subject to federal Hours-of-Service (HOS) regulations to keep drivers operating safely on the road.
