FleetCollect, a trucking-compliance software platform, has launched a new Community section inside its IFTA app for iPhone and Android that converts the mileage drivers already log for quarterly fuel-tax reporting into a nationwide leaderboard, experience points, and a social feed. The move aims to address the isolation of long-haul trucking by building community directly on the work drivers already do, rather than requiring extra effort.
The Community leaderboard ranks drivers by total GPS miles driven for IFTA across two windows: This Week and This Month. It displays the top 50 drivers platform-wide plus each driver's own rank, with gold, silver, and bronze medals for the top three and rank-change arrows. Boards reset every Monday and on the first of each month, with top 10 finishers recorded and permanent badges awarded for first, second, third, and Top 10 finishes.
Drivers earn experience points for real operating activity: completing a trip (10 XP, plus 5 XP per 100 miles), logging a fuel stop (3 XP), opening the app daily (5 XP), setting a username (25 XP once), and posting in the feed (1 XP, capped at 10 per day). Each level requires 50 XP multiplied by the level number, and avatar rings change color as drivers level up.
The Drivers Lounge is a global feed for text posts, images, video, and GIFs, with likes and threaded replies. Automatic milestone announcements post when a driver completes a trip, crosses a lifetime-mileage milestone, levels up, or enters the weekly Top 10. Privacy is built in: drivers appear as "Driver #" with an ID number until they choose to set a username and profile photo.
"Every community app for truckers asks them to stop working and go somewhere else — a forum, a Discord server, a map," said Herman Armstrong, founder of FleetCollect. "We built ours on the work itself. The miles you track for IFTA are the miles that rank you. If you drove this week, you're already on the board."
The Community is available now inside the FleetCollect IFTA app, which provides automatic state-by-state GPS mileage tracking and automatic quarterly IFTA report generation from $14 per month. Details are at https://fleetcollect.net/community.
