    Well i've been using this new transflo app. I have an android phone. Works really good. Payroll has always received my bills and cover sheet on time every time.

    I have not used the truck stop transflo machine since last october.


    Its really cool because as soon as my bill get signed at the receiver, I take the picture and transflo the bills. Since im on daily pay it benefits me greatly. Im just loving this new app.

    I guess not so new.


    Think its been out for a couple years, but never really trusted it.


    Until I tried it.


    Very cool.

    Wish our company would pay for use of that. Would be helpful.

    I was going to download it but a few of the first reviews talked about issues with it freezing up after a new update. Have you experienced this at all?

    TransFlo app works very well. I've been using it almost exclusively for several months and the only issue is with BOL's that are printed on the Multi copy ...laser jet? paper. The canary copy gets washed out when the app Optimizes the photo. I solved this by copying those BOL's onto regular copy paper... then proceed to use the app.

    Turn App on..

    Start Scan
    select
    Add from Camera *unless you already took pictures and want to Import from Photo Library..

    take photo's of pages to be sent, include company cover sheet, in the same order as you would set them up...
    follow the prompts for each page and when completed photographing...

    select
    Continue

    select
    Send All Pages

    Depending on your connection speed it can take mere seconds...
    then you will receive a confirmation page on your phone screen saying..
    All Pages have been sent successfully. Here is your confirmation # 4789073489378907859. An E-Mail has been sent to you.

    Check your mail. All pages that were sent will be viewable to you the same way your billing department sees them.

    Hope this is helpful.

    I forgot to add I used it with a Galaxy II and the Iphone 5 and they both worked and work very well
     
    StayBusyTrucker Thanks this.

    I love the app. Ive never actually used the thing in the truck stop. I always use the app and do it in my truck.

    I downloaded it about 5 days after it was released for the iPhone. Works like a charm and saves you countless hours in the long run by avoiding the Pilots. Always hated "runnin in to Trans Flo real quick."

    It's real finicky when it comes to lighting but you will figure it out real quick. It optimizes the images and asks you if it's okay before sending. That's how your payroll department sees it.

    To me, it happens after I use the internet on my phone. If I try to transflo something, it starts "optimizing" and freezes on that screen

    A quick reboot of my phone and problem solved.

    Any problems - just turn your phone off. Then back on. Will work fine.


    Side note:
    You need your company code to register. Also need your E-mail address.

    Piece of cake.

    I guess I will have to try it again. Tried it once, and couldn't get a decent pic of my company's cover sheet, the bar codes. HTC Desire, Android.

    Sure would be handy if I could get it to work.

    Where do you take the pictures? I mean, in the sleeper? Outside?
