Trucking: Trucking Software, business software package, easy trucking

Question
Just wondered if you could reccomend a business software package or company that can provide a good package at a good price. I have seen a few with everything from Maintenance Sheets to trip sheets and fuel reporting. But as this is my first truck I am a little unsure on what to spend my money on.

Answer
Hi Andrew...
There are numerous software packages available on the market.  Some are tailored for the small trucking company and the owner operator in particular.  I could not recommend any one specific package since each may have different features and capabilities that would appeal to you.  I would suggest you determine your specific requirements and compare several including the price of each.  For example, do you need fuel tax management software, routing software, dispatch, or maybe billing.  Many packages will include maintenance tracking and some offer demo software for you to evaluate.  An internet search is a good place to start your research.  Although I'm not endorsing any particular one, some that may be of interest to you are:

Thanks for the question and I hope you find the one that best fits your needs.
