Rigbooks

Rigbooks is online bookkeeping built around the numbers that matter to a trucking business, above all cost per mile. It works in a browser and on phones with nothing to install, and is meant for owner-operators and small fleets in the United States who would otherwise keep their books in spreadsheets or general accounting packages.

What Rigbooks does

• Expense tracking: spending sorted into categories, with receipts kept against each entry.
• Trip, fuel and mileage logs: the records needed for IFTA fuel tax returns.
• Profit per load and per mile: profit and loss reports and running cost-per-mile figures to judge which loads pay.
• Tax reports: summaries produced from the recorded data for tax time.
• Hosted data: backups and SSL encryption handled by the service.
• Fleet plans: options for a single truck or several, with extra trucks added as needed.

Clients

Independent drivers who own their trucks and small fleet operators who want a clear view of costs without learning a general accounting program.
