Owner Operators Can Reduce Bookkeeping

We can’t get away from the accounting.  We can’t let the accounting get away from us.

When we become an owner operator, we take on a lot of extra roles as well, especially bookkeeper (unless you’re lucky enough to have one in your family!)

What do bookkeepers do?

• Keep track of dispatches and make sure they’re billed and paid.
• Keep track of trip expenses and fuel receipts.
• Keep track of taxes such as the IFTA and IRP.
• Pay the drivers.
• Pay the repair bills.

A good trucking bookkeeper can do it.  But what do you have to pay to find one? Is a single trucker going to have enough work for a bookkeeper?  What happens when they leave?

So how can owner operators reduce their bookkeeping?

We’d like to say “Be organized.”  Everyone else says it, and to some degree, that’s true.  A shoebox of receipts is not organization.  Whether it’s an envelope system or an electronic monitor in the cab, it’s not organization until it’s usuable.   So what do you need?

1. A tool that will go with you on the road to simplify the bookwork instead of delaying until you get home.
2. A method that will show you the financial statements that truckers need, when and where you want them.
3. A program that will expand with the needs of the transportation field without a steep re-learning curve with updates you have to install.

It’s not just organization.  It’s the tool you use to be organized.  Find a system that will reuse your data and not expect you to reenter it for another purpose.

Reduce your bookkeeping by using a method that’s designed for truckers, not a hack that tries to make another program work for us truckers.
