Trucking bookkeeping tools built for the cab. Not the cubicle.
CabBooks replaces spreadsheets, shoeboxes of receipts, and guesswork with AI-powered trucking tools designed for independent owner operators, carriers, and truck drivers who self-dispatch their own freight.
Per-Load Profit & Loss
Stop guessing which freight loads actually make money.
A $2.80/mile freight rate looks great on a load board — until you factor in 120 deadhead miles to the shipper, $295 in fuel, and a $28 toll. CabBooks runs the trucking math automatically so you see your net take-home before you commit to a load, not three weeks later when the broker check clears. Real trucking profit tracking for owner operators who need to know their cost-per-mile on every run.
Every trucking expense you log — fuel, tolls, maintenance, insurance, truck payment, permits, lumper fees — gets allocated against the freight load it belongs to. Your monthly trucking P&L rolls up every load into a single bookkeeping dashboard with revenue bars, expense bars, and a 6-month trend line so you can spot slow months before they become emergencies.
AI-Powered Document Capture
Photograph a trucking rate con and watch 10 fields fill themselves.
After a 600-mile day the last thing any truck driver wants is data entry. Open CabBooks, tap “Scan Rate Con,” and hold your phone over the document. The AI reads the broker name, pickup and delivery cities, freight rate, reference number, and dates — then drops them straight into a new trucking load record.
The same camera flow works for fuel receipts and truck stop expenses. CabBooks reads the total, vendor, date, gallons, and state — then auto-categorizes the trucking expense and feeds the fuel data into your IFTA ledger. One photo replaces five minutes of thumb-typing on a small screen. Owner operators and carriers save hours of bookkeeping every week.
Broker, origin, destination, freight rate, ref #, pickup date, delivery date, miles, commodity, and weight — extracted in seconds.
Total amount, gallons, price-per-gallon, vendor name, date, and state. Feeds directly into IFTA tracking and trucking expense reports.
GPS-Based IFTA Reports
Automatic state-by-state trucking mileage — no logbook required.
CabBooks uses your phone's GPS to record trucking miles as you drive. When you cross a state line the app starts a new IFTA jurisdiction segment automatically. Idle detection pauses tracking when you're parked at a rest stop or sitting in a dock queue, so your mileage totals stay accurate for quarterly fuel tax filing.
At the end of each quarter, open the IFTA tab and tap “Export.” CabBooks generates a breakdown of total miles and total gallons purchased in every state you drove through, plus your fleet-average MPG. Hand the trucking IFTA report to your accountant or file it yourself — the numbers are ready for DOT compliance.
One-Tap Freight Invoicing
Deliver the freight load, send the bill — before you leave the dock.
Every delivered trucking load in CabBooks is one tap away from becoming a professional freight invoice PDF. The app pulls your company name, MC number, DOT number, and remit-to address from your carrier profile, fills in the route, rate, reference number, and delivery date from the load record, and formats everything on a clean, DOT-compliant, broker-ready template.
Email the trucking invoice to the broker directly from the app. CabBooks tracks whether the freight invoice is draft, sent, or paid — so owner operators always know which brokers owe them money and how long they've been sitting on it.
