FleetCollect, a trucking-compliance software platform, has launched a new Community section that transforms the miles drivers already log for IFTA fuel-tax reporting into a nationwide leaderboard, experience points, and a social feed. The feature is available inside the FleetCollect IFTA app for iPhone and Android, targeting owner-operators and small-fleet drivers who file quarterly under the International Fuel Tax Agreement.
The Community leaderboard ranks drivers by total GPS miles driven, using the same data recorded for IFTA compliance. It displays top 50 drivers platform-wide in two windows—This Week and This Month—along with each driver's personal rank. Gold, silver, and bronze medals highlight the top three, and rank-change arrows show movement compared to the prior period. 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 activities they already do: 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 (one-time 25 XP), and posting in the feed (1 XP, capped at 10 per day). Each level costs 50 XP multiplied by the level number, and avatars display a colored ring that changes as the driver levels up.
The Drivers Lounge is a global feed where drivers can post 280-character text, images, video, and GIFs, with likes and threaded replies. A separate Activity feed carries automatic announcements from the platform, such as trip completions, lifetime-mileage milestones (1,000, 5,000, 10,000, 25,000, 50,000, or 100,000 miles), level-ups, and weekly Top 10 entries. These announcements are posted automatically, so the community reflects road activity even while drivers are driving.
Privacy is built in: every driver appears as “Driver #” with an ID number until they choose otherwise. Real names are never displayed across companies; usernames (3–20 characters) and profile photos are strictly opt-in. Profiles show lifetime miles and trips, a day-streak counter, level and XP, a grid of leaderboard finishes, and a public post-and-reply history.
“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.” Armstrong added, “Nobody wakes up excited about fuel-tax paperwork. But every driver wants to know where they stack up against drivers in the other 49 states.”
The Community is available now to all drivers inside the FleetCollect IFTA app. The app provides automatic state-by-state GPS mileage tracking and automatic quarterly IFTA report generation from $14 per month. Details at fleetcollect.net/community.
