Frequently Asked Trucking Questions

Everything owner operators, carriers, and truck drivers need to know about CabBooks — the AI-powered trucking bookkeeping app for freight load tracking, invoicing, and IFTA.

What does CabBooks do?

CabBooks is a trucking bookkeeping app for owner operators and truck drivers that tracks freight loads from booking to payment, calculates real per-load profit, generates professional freight invoices, and prepares IFTA reports — all from your phone right in the cab.

How much does the CabBooks trucking app cost?

CabBooks costs $9.99/month with a 30-day free trial. Subscribe via the App Store or Google Play. Cancel anytime. A yearly plan is available at $99.99/year (~$8.33/month), saving owner operators 17%.

Does CabBooks track IFTA mileage automatically?

Yes. Turn on GPS tracking and CabBooks logs trucking miles by state jurisdiction automatically. Idle detection means it doesn't count when you're parked at a truck stop. Export your quarterly IFTA report with miles and fuel by state, ready to file for DOT compliance.

Can I create freight invoices with CabBooks?

Yes. Select a delivered trucking load, tap Create Invoice, and CabBooks generates a professional freight invoice PDF with your company name, MC number, DOT number, remit-to address, and all load details. Email it directly to the broker and track payment status.

What platforms does the CabBooks trucking app support?

CabBooks is available for truck drivers on both iOS and Android. The trucking app works offline and syncs securely to the cloud when you have a connection, so owner operators and carriers never lose data on the road.

Do I need an ELD to use CabBooks?

CabBooks is a trucking bookkeeping app, not an ELD. It complements your ELD by handling the financial side — freight load profit, invoicing, IFTA tracking, and expense management. Use it alongside any FMCSA-compliant ELD.

Can CabBooks help with DOT compliance for trucking?

CabBooks generates DOT-compliant freight invoices with your MC/DOT number, tracks IFTA mileage for quarterly fuel tax filing, and organizes trucking fuel receipts — key records for any DOT audit that owner operators and carriers need to maintain.

Is CabBooks for fleet owners or owner operators?

CabBooks is purpose-built for solo owner operators and independent carriers running 1-3 trucks. It's a trucking bookkeeping app designed for truck drivers who self-dispatch their own freight and need to track per-load profit without a back office.

How do I delete my CabBooks account and data?

You can delete your account directly in the app under Settings > Delete Account. You can also email [email protected] with the subject "Account Deletion Request" and we'll process it within 7 business days. All personal data — including loads, invoices, expenses, and IFTA records — is permanently deleted within 30 days.
