quickbooks is good. If you want just an itemized spreadsheet I can email you an excel file my accountant gave me.

I am leased to a carrier and not incorporated. I use Microsoft Money and it does everything I need it to do. And its free.
If you don't have it there is a version you can download on the Microsoft website.

Been using microsoft money for years for my IT business.
There are more "reporting type thing" in trucking other than just a regular bookkeeping program.
IFTA fuel tax filings, and other requirements for your FMCSA audits, go beyond just the "basic generic bookkeeping" type programs, which will work well for any industry.
A lot has to do with whether or not you will use the services of an accountant. Whether you have a Corp or are going sole-prop. Most accountants use quickbooks, which has a function built-in to send an "accountants copy" TO you accountant whenever you want - so he can check and see where you're at (quarterly 941 filings, unemployment, withholding, etc.).
I'll likely make the switch to Quickbooks (for MAC of course - LOL) when I make the transition into trucking - it handles multiple bank accounts and g/l type accounts a little better than microsoft money will.
