ELECTRONIC
EROAD has developed the first
electronic weight-mile tax service
to support motor carriers to better
meet their Oregon record-keeping
obligations.
The EROAD application automatically
records tax-exempt miles and
locations, supports configuration
changes, calculates taxes owed, and
provides
a wide range of commercial and
regulatory services including IFTA
and IRP reporting.
No one likes to pay taxes but the
EROAD technology platform
generates a significant reduction in
weight-mile
tax administration and improves
compliance. Other benefits are full
visibility around your tax obligation,
enhanced operational control, and
less stress for drivers and managers.
5. CONFIGURATION
MANAGEMENT
Visibility and control over vehicle
configurations allows you to optimally
manage your road tax obligations to improve
your cash flow.
Registered vehicle configurations are
automatically retrieved from the Oregon
Department of Transportation and allocated to
the correct vehicle in the EROAD solution.
Drivers can select their correct vehicle
configuration using a menu on the Ehubo
hardware and the EROAD solution automatically
allocates the correct tax rate to the vehicle trip.
Alternatively you can change configurations
retrospectively in EROAD's Depot web
application.
6. INCREASEYOUR
EXEMPTMILES
Mileage exempt from tax can now
easily be estimated to improve your
cash flow.
The EROAD system automatically and
accurately tracks and records your
vehicle’s location and determines
Oregon taxable, exempt and out-of-state
miles.
EROAD has developed a proprietary
electronic map, supplemented by a
sophisticated geofence tool, to support
accurate and auditable exempt mile
and optimal weight-mile tax
calculations.
7. REVOLUTIONIZE
RECORDKEEPING
The EROAD electronic weight-mile tax
solution will revolutionize the way motor
carriers manage their Oregon record-keeping
obligations.
Our solution accurately and reliably
captures and calculates Oregon weight-mile
tax information and records contain all
required data elements to meet the
requirements of OAR 740-055-0120,
including vehicle trip records (VTR), and
Road Use Assessment Fee (RUAF)
reports for trip segments.
EROAD’s automated system for
preparing weight-mile tax reports will
simplify motor carrier report monitoring,
reduce costs of manual data entry, and
decrease accidental non-compliance. All
your records are archived to support you
in meeting your legal obligations.
8. AUTOMATICIFTA
REPORTING
The EROAD application supports
carriers in meeting the record-keeping
requirements of the
International
Fuel Tax Agreement and
International Registration Plan.
Our system automatically and
accurately tracks and records your
vehicle journeys, and displays the
miles for a particular reporting period
by state and province.
This information is required to
complete quarterly IFTA tax returns
and annual IRP registration forms,
and helps you to minimize your
obligations by identifying any exempt
miles.
9. CONTROL YOUR
BUSINESS
EROAD has developed a world-leading
fleet tracking solution that gives you
operational transparency and enhanced

separation maintained between
organizations.
Operators benefit from improved fleet
productivity, better route planning,
higher customer satisfaction, timely
maintenance, ability to monitor
stop/idle times, driver hours, and
improved legal compliance.

communication underpins all commercial
activity.

EZmessage is the most cost-effective
way of communicating with your driver
as it eliminates SIM costs and the need
for third- party hardware and obsolete
data terminals.
11. BETTERAND
SAFERDRIVERS
The driver is your most important
asset. Creating a safe workplace is a
key goal for all motor carriers who
recognize that driver error, fatigue, and
over speed are major factors in
crashes.
Accountability and transparency
around driver behavior supports
compliance with company, regulatory,
and insurance requirements.
The Over Speed Report provides a
record of vehicle speeds against
posted speed limits. In addition
carriers are able to isolate high-risk
areas such as dangerous corners,
black ice roads, and school zones.
The EROAD solution will help you
to improve health and safety,
reduce emissions, and increase
profits by improving driver
behavior.
12. SAVE
ENERGY
You can achieve major cost savings
from operating vehicles more efficiently
by managing idle times. Lowering
idle times saves fuel and money,
and reduces emissions, engine
wear and maintenance costs.
Our clients report that our user-friendly
tools and reports translate
into significant fuel savings, and
help to identify trends, exceptions
and suspicious behavior.
13. TAMETHEWORKSHOP
Expose what’s really going on with your
fleet maintenance and eliminate nasty
surprises.
Repairs and maintenance are a significant
component of transport business
expenses, representing upwards of 10% of
vehicle operating costs. High workshop
costs and unforeseen maintenance and
repair bills have the potential to seriously
hurt cash flow and business viability.
EROAD’s comprehensive service module
allows you to proactively manage the
maintenance and repair of your vehicle
fleet.

"Our dispatchers are able to see where our
trucks are and make adjustments to best utilize
our fleet.
We will save time on our road tax reporting each
month and the accuracy of the EROAD mapping
system is going to help us feel more confident in
the miles we report. It’s definitely a step forward
in technology and efficiency."

"EROAD has proven to be more accurate than
most drivers in terms of tracking off-road miles.
Being able to geofence off-road areas such as
windmill farms, construction sites, distributions
centers in order to claim exempt miles is a great
feature.
We were able to save those 10% of total miles
that we used to include as taxable. EROAD
technology more or less pays for itself in this
SwTaEy.V" E BATES, VICE
PRESIDENT

"The main advantage of EROAD over other
systems for us is the ability to track off-road miles
and different weight configurations and be able to
use that data without correction. This reduces
both driver and administrative workload."
