    Hey folks :)

    So I figured I'm gonna come ask for some help, as I'm making no progress on my own.

    I work for agencys, don't have my own rig or anything (yet).

    What i'm looking for is something for the PC that can track my hours, who I worked for, and generate invoices to the agencys.

    Unfortunately all I seem to find are programs designed for entire fleets, or at least someone with a few trucks, so it has maintenence and what not that I don't need, or programs that are frankly , rubbish.

    Can anyone recommend something? Ideally something that is designed with agencys in mind :)

    Have you checked Quickbooks from Quicken??? I believe you can set up an invoicing system with it.....and even buy the pre-printed forms to make it look even more official.

    Quickbooks has invoicing, and payroll(as in hrs worked) feature in there.

    Its fairly easy to use as well.

    Im kind of a computer geek myself and could probably write a simple program doing all that you stated in vb.net pretty easily.

    But as far as commercial software avail, Quickbooks might be your best bet.
