We ran a dispatch team. On Compliance, Tax, IFTA, and Authority pages we cite primary agency sources — not invented benchmarks or anonymous reviews. Dates can change. Always confirm your exact deadline with the agency.
Disclaimer
Dates are checked against official sources but can change. Always confirm your exact deadline with the agency (IRS, FMCSA, UCR, your base state). Our tools and pages are educational organizers — not legal or tax advice.
Compliance & deadline sources
- IFTA quarterly returns — iftach.org/Carriers/ (base state handles returns). Weekend dates usually move to the next business day; confirm with your base state.
- UCR — plan.ucr.gov · fee brackets · Federal Register 2027 fees rule (re-check before print).
- Form 2290 / HVUT — IRS Instructions for Form 2290 (“When To File” chart).
- MCS-150 biennial update — FMCSA updating your registration (month/year from USDOT digits).
- Annual DOT inspection — 49 CFR 396.17.
- IRP / apportioned plates — base-state rules; see irponline.org.

Cost-per-mile & load math
Free calculators on this site use the numbers you type. Blank cost boxes count as $0. We may cite a published industry study (for example ATRI operational costs) only as a published benchmark — never as “your” CPM. Load IQ returns TAKE / NEGOTIATE / PASS from your inputs. Start at Free Tools, Load IQ, or CPM calculator.
Products & refunds
Paid desk files (First Year Survival System and related Playbooks) are one-time Payhip downloads with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Memberships (The Carrier’s Edge; Compliance Tracker from Dec 1) bill monthly while subscribed. We do not invent buyer testimonials on product pages.
Affiliates
When we tip a load board or factoring partner on tool pages, we use Truckstop first, then Triumph (and 123Loadboard on the new-dispatcher path). Affiliate links may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
