None, however, possess the overall knowledge and hands on experience of OTS."

"Prior to OTS we spent considerable time each month correcting and researching suspect fuel tax data. Since we have contracted with OTS we spend less than 4 hours a month correcting suspect data for over 650 tractors." "Operating in all 48 states and understanding the sales tax regulations in all those states can be overwhelming for any accounts payable department. OTS did a complete audit of our invoices and filed for overpaid sales tax on our behalf. Our Accounts Payable department know has a better understanding of the regulations and, more importantly, has someone to call with sales tax questions."
