What it entails

Books that match how trucking pays

Generic bookkeepers don't speak settlement sheets. We reconcile every load against its rate confirmation, track fuel, tolls, maintenance and factoring fees per truck, and close your week with a one-page statement: gross, deductions, net — and profit per mile.

Quarterly, your IFTA mileage is already totaled by state and your P&L is tax-ready. No shoebox of receipts, no April surprises.

  • Weekly settlements — gross-to-net per load, delivered every Monday.
  • Expense categorization — fuel, DEF, tolls, repairs and fees tracked per truck.
  • IFTA & IRP reports — mileage by state, totaled quarterly and ready to file.
  • Profit-per-mile dashboards — know your true cost per mile before you accept a rate.
