Had explain to her that I rarely take the fastest least miles to avoid the big city or I am on a permit load and have to go a certain route..

That was one of the obstacles I ran into as well. I explained the route taken will sometimes be different for a truck than a typical sized vehicle. With that being said, there will be a deviation from what they say the route should be and what it actually is. Besides, the proper way to record the miles are across jurisdictions on YOUR route, not what they assume it should be.

While I understand what they are trying to do (make sure taxes are being distributed correctly), it would be nice to arm themselves with personnel who has either real world experience or a better understanding of the trucking industry.
