    My bf was given one of those to use by Boyd. He never used it though. He just uses the TripPak app to send it in. Much easier.

    I use a scanner in the truck doing the exact same thing. Just my scanner is also a printer, and copier but much larger. But then I have little more room in the truck than most.
    I've also done the trippak app through the phone also. I don't care for that just because you have to have a real steady hand in taking pictures and even the company calls me to send documents again because they are not as clear. But I've heard others say they have no problems with clearity using the app.
    The scanner above is great for compactness which in a truck can be a big plus.
    I'd use it, if given to me, just wouldn't want to buy it.

    Also We have to scan all of our bills and log sheets to get paid. Though we do get paid daily.

    To use the phone app you need a good camera. Iphone ones are better then android. (sorry droid users, but im talking specs here, not opinion) also lighting is crucial. It works best if on a black background.

    office never calls me when i use my printer/scanner. LOL.

    wouldn't that trippak alsu require the use of internet? or does it supply it's own?

    Not sure what quickpay is. We get paid within couple hours of sending our paperwork in via trippak.

    Any trip pak needs the internet. The scanner above uses the laptop then the internet. The I=phone app uses the internet also.

    Just to much technogy.
