Subject: | Easing Burdens on Truck Drivers and Trucking Fleets in Pennsylvania |
As in most states, tractor trailers operating in Pennsylvania must display International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) decals on both sides of the cab’s exterior and carry a road tax registration card, an IFTA license, or a legible photocopy of either. Currently, trucking fleet operators can only purchase these necessary credentials through the Department of Revenue, or at only four locations throughout the state, making this a sometimes lengthy and burdensome task that can result in delays when trying to move goods throughout the state. Thankfully, we have a number of online messenger service providers throughout Pennsylvania who are already equipped with the knowledge and ability to process IFTA applications and issue the relevant documents so that trucking fleets can operate smoothly and without delay or worry of being out of compliance. For this reason, we are introducing legislation that will permit online messenger services to process IFTA applications, issue the relevant decals and licenses, and collect and remit all related fees. Every Pennsylvanian relies on timely service provided by truck drivers. Please join us in this effort to make sure that commerce in our state remains reliable by providing truck drivers with the benefit of increased convenience. |
