Mileage App

I tried that one for a week and and it sucked my battery so I gave it up. Hopefully that was a glitch they have fixed. If you keep the phone plugged in in the truck a lot it's perfect. I like the way it would learn to recognize common routes and log them automatically.

thanks for the tip Brett. I will try it as I am always forgetting to try my mileage and then later spending the time estimating my trips.

I have had it on for about a week now and haven't noticed my battery going down. The one that eats it when it's on is waze.

Question: If you have a dedicated truck that belongs to your business, do you have to log trips if 100% are business miles?

Just saw that Quickbooks has a new app for this. QuickBooks Self Employed by Intuit Inc. https://appsto.re/us/We5H1.i

I went to my account on the desktop and added the three vehicles. When I finish the drive I put them where they belong.

Thanks for the heads up on Quick Books.

My accountant said that if it is a dedicated vehicle AND YOU HAVE ANOTHER vehicle for personal use then you are good to go. If you wrap your vehicle it's even better if audited....because technically......anywhere you go you are advertising.
