    This is really a good way to handle it. Old school here. Shoe box and all. But there again I drove my Studebaker around yesterday in a bit of nice spring weather...

    I start a new box every year. The only thing I don't keep, is fuel and DEF receipts, because it's all on our card activity statement.

    One of the reasons for timely insertion of receipts in said box over the year is that they tend to fade in the truck.
     
    PE_T and Wasted Thyme Thank this.

    The truck stop ones are the worst. Walmart's fade pretty fast too.

    Does anyone have a list and examples of the different categories for the expenses. This is where I’m getting a little confused. TIA
