    As an owner operator and small carrier, all softwares out on the market are too expensive for my small needs. I feel like these softwares should be free especially if they aren't providing anything breakthrough. I have the opportunity to develop a web based software or phone app for free and provide it to everyone to use for free. My buddy is a software engineer and he is willing to make a simple web/phone app for me that provides the basic functions I need. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

    For owner operators and small carriers, what features would you like to have in a free phone-app or web-based app?

    Just thinking a loud:
    If web based, maybe a place to manage and track all your drivers and loads, create/send invoice, receive rate confirmations that can be signed digitally?

    Since O/O's are mainly on the road, I'm assuming they would like
    -to receive rate confirmations and sign them off their phone
    -provide location updates to brokers by one-tap
    -if leased to a carrier, get PU and delivery info directly from dispatcher's web based app
