whats the best IFTA app for iPhone

You mean like a GPS mileage generated type of software?

 

I don't like the GPS dependent ones because there's quite a bit of inconsistency. The old fashioned way works best

 

I find it easier to just get a voice recorder an record your mileage each time you hit a different state.
Then once I'm near my laptop I just play the voice recorder back an plug the mileage in.
Sure beats the heck outta scrambling for that notepad in rush hour traffic trying to scribble some numbers down

 

I don't even have a spreadsheet. I take the odometer reading an just do a little math an plug it in each quarter online when I pay my fuel taxes.

 

I just got my own authority. Went live January 1st. However, I've been on a 2 week vacation and don't go back out until tomorrow.

I'm going to be using an app called Big Road for logging. You have the option of using the GPS and running it as an AOBR or shutting off the GPS and running it manually. It will run your mileage & fuel reports for you, so as long as you make your entries on the log accordingly it does the job.

However, since the ELD mandate doesn't go into effect until 12/2017, I will continue to opt out of any type of onboard recording device.

I also downloaded a pretty nice owner operator trucking specific program called Truckn Pro 7. It's $149 for a lifetime license and updates and is pretty slick. The program will not work on an Android device though. I think once the developer makes it available on Android, his sales will increase.

I have a laptop so it's no big deal, but I have sure become used to and dependent on doing everything on my smartphone

 

I'm just the opposite of you...I shut down my authority on the 1st of January lol

 

That's funny...I think

I've been running under another companies authority since 2014. I am still hauling for them, however, it was time for me to set myself up with my own authority that way I can test the waters.
