    Do any of you use an app to keep track of your maintenance? If so which one.

    No app will track my maintenance like I do.

    I meaning doing it on an iPad verses paper. 6 trucks and 7 trailers each has a paper file in the office. It would be nice to see there schedules on one screen on my iPad that I have with me all the time.

    Can you use MS Excel? Great spreadsheet. Or even Outlook?

    Could I use it? Yes. Could I set it up to do what I want? No. I've seen apps for the iPad which is what I'd like to use. I'd like to know if anyone here has tried any of them.

    Something that reminds you when the oil and other jobs are due. I'm tired of flipping pages in an old composition notebook. An app for preventive maintenance reminder is a good idea. Never heard of one.

    Yes, I'm not looking so much for a reminder as much as not having to write it down twice. Also looking for something that would be easily searchable like.... I've put this part on before what's the number?

    There were some posters in here a few times in the past year or so asking for input on "load board apps" or "check call apps" basically trying to re-invent the wheel for something it seems is already out there everywhere so nothing really new. This seems like a good, new idea. Too bad you're not a computer guru you could invent it yourself and become a millionaire (or maybe a thousandaire). If it's out there somebody here will see this and post something. Otherwise i'd try to pm some of those guru's.
