High tech gear eyed to reclaim lost fuel taxes in NC
North Carolina officials propose a weigh station computer network to track truck entry and exit across state lines and calculate miles driven inside the state. The system could recover an estimated 40 million dollars yearly, with one-time costs of six to eight million. Currently DMV crews manually verify fuel sheets, while a quarter of rebates and taxes remain uncollected. Legislation authorized use of department funds, with a report due by December on implementation and impact on pump prices.
