One of the best things about the trucking industry is how diverse it is.
One trucker might be an owner-operator, the other might be a company man for a large fleet. Either way, they’re going to have to file Form 2290. Taxable vehicles include any highway motor vehicles that have a taxable gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more.
So that probably covers your entire fleet. But how can you file HVUT for all of your vehicles? The answer is simple: bulk uploading and ExpressTruckTax’s TruckZone feature.
Why Should I Bulk Upload?
First of all, it’s easy. Instead of entering each record one-by-one, you fill out a spreadsheet and our program does the rest.
Here’s what you do:
- Login to our system, download the official spreadsheet.
- Go field by field and enter the appropriate information in the right format.
- After the form is complete, head back to ExpressTruckTax and upload the file.
- Our software will check for errors and make sure each field is correct.
- Note, if you already have your own spreadsheet use our smart upload. We will make sure fields match on our end, so that you don’t waste time making a new spreadsheet.
- Make sure everything looks right.
- Pay and transmit!
Finally, once you get your fleet’s vehicles uploaded, your trucks will be saved year to year thanks to our TruckZone.
What Is TruckZone?
When you need to e-file Form 2290 for multiple vehicles, TruckZone is a lifesafer. Working as virtual fleet, TruckZone keeps all of your vehicles on record so you can access them at any time.
