Of all the deadlines on the calendar, the IFTA third-quarter return picked the spookiest one: October 31. Nothing says Halloween like sorting a quarter's worth of fuel receipts by state.
When we asked which industry you wanted us to build next, trucking came up more than any other. You asked what we build every week, and this was the order at the top of the ticket. So, you asked. We said yes. Our Trucking & Owner-Operator Accounting Bundle is live today.
GOOD NEWS: the FREE AI Skills course is extended through October 31. Once you sign up, it's yours for life. For accountants and bookkeepers. For every other business.
LAST DAY: buy ONE agent for $25, get a batch of 5 FREE. Ends at close of business today, Monday, October 19.
Buy any one agent on the build-a-bundle page. I send it to you, then email you the full list so you can pick your 5 FREE. Add your FREE claim and that's 7 agents for $25.
Why trucking books are their own animal
Every truck runs the same arithmetic: miles, fuel, loads, pay and per diem. Only the numbers change. But that arithmetic crosses state lines, broker statements, factoring companies and lease agreements, and a generic bookkeeping setup was never built to hold it.
- Fuel and miles by state, every quarter, for IFTA.
- Settlements and factoring, where the deposit in the bank is never the number on the load.
- Cost per mile, the only number that tells you whether a lane is worth running.
- Owner-operators, with leases, escrow and chargebacks that need their own ledger.
- Per diem and equipment, two of the biggest numbers on a trucker's return.
What's inside: 36 agents
Set up, clean up and close the books

About that Halloween deadline
The IFTA agent organizes the quarter's fuel purchases and miles by jurisdiction and lays out the return for your review. It uses the quarterly rate table you enter and verify, so nothing is hard-coded and nothing goes stale. You still check it and file it. It just stops being a weekend.
Who it's for
Bookkeepers and accountants who serve carriers (this is the toolkit you'd otherwise build one spreadsheet at a time), and owner-operators and small fleets who would rather be driving than reconciling.
Trucking & Owner-Operator Accounting Bundle: $249, one time.
Not only lifetime access: FREE upgrades forever. Works with any LLM (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot), nothing to install.

What's next in the kitchen
Friday: Farm & Ranch, for accountants who serve farmers and ranchers, right in year-end planning season. Coming soon: Church & Clergy. Want your industry on the list? Comment below. That's how this one got built.
Want a little help every month instead? Our $29 Essentials membership includes a 15-minute session with me, one FREE agent and one FREE fix to any agent each month, plus our FREE community. Available to join through December 31, 2026. See Essentials.
Quick questions I get
Do the agents file my IFTA return?
No. They organize, calculate and lay out the return for your review. You check it and file it.
Do I need special software?
No. Each agent is a standalone tool that opens in your browser and works with any LLM. Nothing to install.
Does it keep up with rate changes?
You enter the current quarterly rates and the agent uses them. That keeps you in control of the numbers, every quarter.
I'm an owner-operator, not a bookkeeper. Is this for me?
Yes. Start with the chart of accounts, cost per mile and per diem agents, then hand the rest to your bookkeeper.
Drive safe, and happy (early) Halloween.
