ILLMAS Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Just wondering if someone knows of a software that out there specifically for a trucking business? I don't know much about how a trucking company operates, but a software that helps them keep track of hours, loads, mileage, fuel, trucks, repairs, dispatch etc..... 10-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Check with an appropriate trade association or union for suggestions; ask other truckers and trucking companies what they use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Have KLLM trucker (contracter who owns his own rig) and receives 1099-Misc. From his trip reports, KLLM prepares matching RECAP SHEETS AND MAILS to his wife. These RECAP SHEETS contain all necessary data for tax preparation purposes. Journal Entries are made from RECAP SHEETS and then entered into the bookkeeping system and classified according to the Chart of Accounts. At years end we then make required adjustments to finalize for tax preparation. The most critical element in the trucking business is that the company makes many reimbursements on some of the expenses and adjutments must be made for such reimbursements to make certain that accurate figures are provided on the tax return. If your trucker is a W-2 driver I don't think you would need such detailed accounting. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 For MAS: If the trucking business you reference is to a FLEET of trucks, then the cite that kcjenkins gives you is exactly what you would need. It is kinda expensive - give them a call at 1-800-567-8385. If you're talking about records maintenance for a single unit, contact www.etrux.com as they do have something that might appeal to you.

Lloyd Hudson Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 http://www.easytruckingsoftware.com Just one of many from Owner operator and land line magazine. I have been out of trucking for a lot of years but have a client that uses this. Seems to work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
