That's why they put that Bulldog on the hood. :lol:

 

You know, just to take it a step further... no one wants to say it, but everyone knows, the original Billy Bigriggers were Bucket Drivers. :smokin:

I mean, these guys sniff butt all day, yakking on the CB, inhaling diesel fumes, which science has proven has an adverse effect on the social center of the brain.

I think they have to drive 3 feet apart, or they'd get lost. (j/k Mackman)

 

I know its all in good fun RH:lol2::thumbsup:

 

Anyone know of any good computer software to keep truck of receipts , fuel, invoices etc etc.

Tell me what PC software you use and how you like it.

Thanks

 

If you just want to keep track of invoices you could just use a spreadsheet. I like trucknpro for the trucking business. www.trucknpro.com. It is simple to use and not very expensive. I have used it for several years and like the way it performs. I have also used Easy Trucking Software. www.easytrucking.com. It may be a little more involved than you need. It is a bit cumbersome, but will do about anything that you want for this business. The last one is Truckers Helper. www.truckershelper.com. They have several versions. It is a little more complex, depending on your type of operation. I would go online and check them out. Each has their own pros and cons. Out of the three, I find trucknpro to be the easiest to use. If you are still driving a dump you may be able to use a general accounting software such as Quickbooks or Quicken. It depends on what you want from your software. In any case, I would check those three out that I mentioned. All either have an online demo or trial that you can check out.

 

Thanks Gman i will check them out.

 

GMAN... Truckn Pro :thumbsup:

I should have just clicked on your link. I tried to remember Foglines software, so I put that in my browser. I had a copy of that myself back during Driver's Lounge.

How's Ray doing? Have you kept in touch?

 

I think that you can still use www.foglinesoftware.com to get to the website. Ray is a nice guy. He is still working the trade shows for Landstar. I talk with him every now and then. He was pretty ill not too long ago. I believe that he said that he had pneumonia. I got my updated copy a couple of months ago when my last computer died. He has made a number of changes in the program the last couple of years. I still like the program. I hope he will put in the fuel tax tables one of these days. It is a very user friendly program. You can put in most of the IFTA information. The program is not yet set up to do the calculations for your fuel taxes, but will do a summary by state. Once you have that information it is not much of a stretch to do the actual calculations with the tax included. I am sure that he will eventually put that into the program. He keeps tweaking it. :thumbsup:

 

WTF nothing can ever seem to go right.

Progressive wants 10,113.00 a year for insurance which is highway robbery. My dad who has the same damn insurance limits and everything pays 4,600 a year with progressive. I got 2 different insurance brokers working on getting me a better rate with other insurance company's.

I have a clean driving record no points or anything. Have my CDL since 2002. Never dreamed insurance was going to be a problem. If i cant get insurance for less then 7,000/yr i might just give up. I can still back out of the truck. But i would lose a 1,000 dollars i had to give mack. God I'm so pissed. Its my own damn fault in a way. I guess i should have checked into insurance before i did anything.

Plus that rate is with 1million liability and a 1,000 deductible. I don't need cargo insurance cuz Stone is cheap. Truck value is 75,000.

This is just un-real. I hope my brokers can get me better rates with someone. I will keep everyone up to date.

PS anyone even thinking about buying a truck get an insurance quote before you do anything. Don't be a dumbazz like me.

 

its ok mackman..we dont expect too much from you rock haulers!!!!!
