    Do you want a spreadsheet or software specifically designed for the trucking industry?

    If you want to use a spreadsheet, there is a help available on them. Open Office and Excel are both good spreadsheets, if that is the way you want to go.

    I wanted to use them because i can keep weekly records of eveyrthing as I go and can print them out to keep track of miles/pay/reimbursements and it would automatically tally them. Was wondering if anyone had them already made up with all the info that I would really want to or need to have as a new trucker I am not quite sure what all info I will need. Im sure there is more than just the 3 i listed. I figured that excel would be the easiest
