Vehicles that have a Telematics device installed will have the odometer uploaded monthly by SFM staff, which eliminates the need for the Fleet Coordinator or delegate to manually enter the Odometer in CARS.


For detailed information on the full process for submitting variable costs, you can refer to the Odometer Process for vehicles with telematics and without telematics. SFM also recommends using the Odometer Desk Aid, which is intended to provide quick answers to many common questions.


The odometer upload occurs one day before the SFM Odometers Due date as listed on the SFM Deadline Schedules. To ensure that the telematics devices are working properly and that the odometer reading is accurate, we recommend that you watch our webinar Identifying Vehicles Not Reporting Correctly in Geotab and follow the steps provided to anticipate any communication issues with the device.
