Posted on September 4, 2015 by - digital garage, expresstrucktax, Form 2290, heavy vehicle use tax, HVUT, Truck Zone

Have you always wanted your very own digital garage? Well, with ExpressTruckTax, it is possible! Truck Zone, one of our exclusive features, allows you to manage all of your vehicles in one place while making it easier to e-file your Form 2290, year after year. Whether you have 20, 100, or 1,000 trucks, Truck Zone is available to make your life a little easier.

Let’s Get Started

Once you have signed up with ExpressTruckTax, you can select the Truck Zone tab at the top-right corner to begin saving vehicles and storing their information. When it’s time to add a vehicle, you’ll have the options to:

  • Enter its VIN number, unit number, and gross vehicle weight. 
  • Select if it’s a logging vehicle, if it’s suspended or not, and if it has agriculture plates. 
  • Choose the make, model, and year of the vehicle. 
  • Include information about the fleet, such as the name, license plate number, and the unloaded vehicle weight. 
  • Provide the fuel type and odometer information in the IFTA Details section. 

After you click Save, the vehicle and all its information will be added to Truck Zone! Now, whenever you need to e-file with ExpressTruckTax, you can click Select From “Truck Zone,” which will allow you select the vehicles you would like to add to the return.

Bulk Upload for Faster Filing

If you’re looking for a faster route, ExpressTruckTax offers a Bulk Upload option that enables you to upload hundreds or thousands of vehicles at once! All you need is an Excel/CSV file containing your trucks’ details, and like magic, the information will upload into your ExpressTruckTax account. The tab is located in the Advanced Search section and to the right of the Add Vehicle option:

There’s More

Even after your return is filed, you can go back to Truck Zone for more! For instance, the next time you e-file your Heavy Vehicle Use Tax, all of your trucks will be saved and ready to go. Under the HVUT tab, you’ll be able to view your history, including the return you have previously filed, the date you filed it, and the tax that was paid. You’ll also be able to view, download, or email the return from ExpressTruckTax.

If you need any help or have any questions, you can refer to this video tutorial, call the support team at 704.234.6005, or email them at support@expresstrucktax.com.

Remember, Trucking Nation, we’re always here for you!

Express Truck Zone: An Exclusive Feature of ExpressTruckTax

Posted on July 14, 2014 by - Form 2290, HVUT, Truck Zone

Happy Monday, Trucking Nation! If you’re off to a slow start this morning, here’s a little #motivationmonday juice to add some pep to your step. Filing your HVUT Form 2290 just got a whole lot easier with our exclusive feature, Truck Zone.

And it’s the gift that keeps on giving, year after year, because it will save you hours of data entry every time you file a HVUT return. Music to your ears!

Truck Zone is a centralized hub for your trucking business, your place to store general information, as well as tax information about every vehicle in your fleet, whether that’s hundreds or even thousands of vehicles!

Might I add that this feature is free as part of your ExpressTruckTax account! So how does it work, exactly?

Within your ExpressTruckTax account, you’ll see the tab “Truck Zone” along the top. Once inside, enter information about each heavy vehicle. Alternatively, you can quickly bulk upload all of the information if you already have it in a CSV file. Even if it’s thousands of vehicles, you can still do ‘em all at once!

In your Truck Zone, you can store each vehicle’s V.I.N., Unit #, Fleet name & number, License Plate, gross vehicle weight, if it’s suspended, and whether or not it has agricultural plates or is used for logging. This info in particular will help you keep things sorted when filing your HVUT! You can edit this information any time you like.

Once you have all of your ducks…I mean trucks in a row, filing your taxes and retrieving previous tax information will be a snap!

If you need to file HVUT for a select group of vehicles, use our Advanced Search option to find the trucks you’re looking for by VIN, weight, or unit #. Then click each and add to the return. Done!

Once you’ve filed HVUT with us, go to any truck, click on the “HVUT” tab, and view all of its essential tax details, from how much tax you paid to the date it was filed. Even better, you can download or email that specific return.

And now for the best part, when you need to file next year, all of your vehicles’ information is stored in your digital garage and ready to be uploaded to the return without any unnecessary fidgeting.

Your fleet’s tax information has never been so organized and easily accessible. If that isn’t a stress reliever, then I don’t know what is!

If you’ve got questions about Truck Zone or any one of our amazing, time-saving features within ExpressTruckTax, just call 704.234.6005 or get 24/7 email support at support@expresstrucktax.com. Our Support Heroes in sunny Rock Hill, SC, are ready for you!

And once more–Happy Monday, you tax-filing wizards! Now you’re ready to tackle the week, aren’t you!
