TruckerbookBeta

For owner-operators and small carriers

Know what every load actually made.

Not what it paid — what it made, after the fuel, the empty miles to get there, and the share of what the truck costs to keep on the road. Truckerbook is double-entry bookkeeping that speaks trucking, built with a tax accountant who does these books for a living.

We are onboarding a first group of carriers now, with their accountant in the loop. Free while we are in beta.

The spreadsheet gets three things wrong, and they are the expensive ones.

It counts the loaded miles.

A load pays $2.40 a mile until you count the 180 empty miles you drove to pick it up. Truckerbook attaches that deadhead to the load it was run for, because that is the decision you actually made — and rates it against the miles you actually turned.

It cannot remember where you were.

Per-state mileage is the one number that cannot be reconstructed in January. Every trip is routed and split by jurisdiction when you enter it, so the quarter adds up from what happened instead of from what anyone remembers.

It never closes.

A spreadsheet has no month that is finished, so nothing is ever final and every question reopens the whole year. Here a month closes, and what closed stays closed.

What it does today

Everything below is built and running. Nothing below is a plan.

The road

  • Loads with pickup, drop-off and the empty leg to get there
  • Trips routed and split per state, with distance provenance kept
  • Fuel purchases by jurisdiction, gallons and price
  • An odometer check that says when miles went unrecorded

The quarter

  • IFTA miles and tax-paid gallons per jurisdiction, live as the quarter runs
  • A fleet consumption factor computed per fuel type
  • A printable worksheet in the return’s own words
  • Amended quarters, kept alongside the original

The money

  • Invoices from loads, factored payments and settlements
  • Bills, contractor pay and what each one cost per mile
  • Bank files in the format your bank actually gives you (OFX, CSV, XLSX)
  • Documents attached where they belong, duplicates caught on the way in

The books

  • Real double-entry, with a chart of accounts written for trucking
  • Profit per load, per truck, per driver, per mile
  • Statements that agree with the ledger, because they are the ledger
  • A month close with a checklist that knows what is unresolved

Your accountant is in the same book.

Not a January export. You capture the loads, the fuel and the receipts; whoever does your books works in the same company, sees the same ledger, and closes the month from inside it. The chart of accounts came from a tax accountant who prepares returns for carriers — 158 accounts, reviewed line by line, not a generic small-business list with "trucking" written on top.

You choose who sees your books, and you can take it back.

It speaks your language. Or your accountant’s.

The same screens, two vocabularies. One says "finish a month" and "what they paid you"; the other says "period close" and "settlement remittance". Switch it per person, not per company — you and your bookkeeper can read the same books in different words on the same afternoon.

What beta means here

  • Your books are real. What you enter stays, and it is yours.
  • Some screens are still rough, and a few things are missing.
  • It costs nothing for now, and we will tell you well before that changes.
