Built in a truck, not an office
I run a Peterbilt 579. Every payday the settlement lands with a number on it, and for a long time I just took it. Not because I trusted it completely — because what was I going to do, argue from memory?
Then one week the detention I'd sat through wasn't on there. Four hours at a receiver, gone. I knew I'd been there. I couldn't prove when I arrived, when I left, or which load it was against. So I let it go, like most drivers do.
That's the part that bothers me. Not that mistakes happen — they will, on any settlement, at any carrier. It's that almost nobody catches them, because catching them means keeping records nobody has time to keep.
So I built the thing that keeps them for you. Log your loads and fuel as the week goes. When the settlement arrives, you've got dates, miles, load numbers and dock times to hold it up against. If it matches, good — now you know. If it doesn't, you've got something to take to payroll.
It was never meant to replace your carrier's settlement. It's there to make sure the settlement is right.
It's built for anyone running under their own numbers — owner-operators, leased-on, and own authority. If the money comes to you and not a company paycheck, this was made for your situation.
