Holy old post bump, batman! Before I saw the date of the OP, I was wondering why nobody was asking why they’d be paying $50k for a $20k truck!

I’m with Copperhead. These services where you send off your receipts each month scare the hell out of me. What happens if the place goes out of business? What happens if it’s a single old lady (like my tax preparer) and she dies of a heart attack or something? Making copies of all those receipts is a beeeeatch and the IRS doesn’t have to accept a photocopy (though they often do). I do all my own bookkeeping and just pay my tax professional for her expert advice and annual filing work.

You can get a paper booklet at most truck stops that you can enter all of your revenue, receipts, expenses, etc., for about $5.00. At the end of the year you could take it to your tax preparer or enter the information yourself. I keep receipts for each load in an envelope. It helps to keep things together. It doesn't make any difference how you keep your records as long as you do it.

Times are tough. Trucking (and the boards) are slow.
