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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

OREGONSECRETARYOFSTATE'SAUDITThe EROAD solution received an

independent unqualified opinion by the

Oregon Secretary of State's Audits Division.

The purpose of the comprehensive performance

Audit was to provide motor carriers and Oregon

Department of Transportation with an

independent assessment of the EROAD

electronic weight-mile tax solution.

The Audit concluded that the EROAD

technology platform reduces the burden of

record keeping by helping motor carriers prepare

and submit weight- mile tax reports.

The full report can be read at http://sos.oregon.gov/audits/Documents/2013-32.pdf

THE AUDIT DIVISION’S MAIN FINDINGS:

• EROAD electronic on-board-unit hardware

and web-based services platform accurately

and reliably captures and calculates Oregon

weight-mile tax information from commercial

motor carriers.

• System provides a secure and stable

environment for transmitting, processing,

and storing motor carrier weight-mile tax

information.

• System-generated reports contained all

required weight-mile tax data elements,

sufficiently captured motor carrier

operations, and applied correct tax

rates.

• EROAD data, reports, and records were

more reliable and accurate than the paper-

based records compiled and filed by

carriers.

• Automated system for capturing and

preparing weight-mile tax reports could

simplify motor carrier report monitoring,

reduce costs of manual data entry, and

decrease accidental non-compliance with

the state’s weight-mile tax requirements.

"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."

MELISSA BROWNNorthwest Beef Express

"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

way."STEVE BATES, VICE

PRESIDENTRedmond Heavy Hauling Inc.

"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."
