There are tons of us truckers that have android phones and would pay top dollar for a trip app that keeps track of our trips. We have paper pads but those suck. It would be better to have an app. These are the lines that are on the pads. If you would like a copy of a sheet i can scan one and put it on here. It would nice to keep track of mileage as well. Here is the data.

DATE
TRIP NUMBER
EMPTY MILES
ODOMETER START/STOP
LOADED MILES
ODOMETER START/STOP

SHIPPER NAME
ADDRESS
CITY/ STATE

STOPS (spaces for up to 15 stops. Maybe an entry that asks if there are extra stops and if so how many. Then have it populate fields for stops)
ADDRESS
CITY/ STATE

DESTINATION
ADDRESS
CITY/ STATES

TRUCK NUMBER
TRAILER NUMBER
BILL OF LADING NUMBER
PICK UP NUMBER
APPOINTMENT NUMBER
DELIVERY NUMBER
SEAL NUMBER
PIECE COUNT
WEIGHT

NOTES
 
I am including the scan of the trip sheets that we use. This would be nice for it to be a database app that keeps track of all this stuff so we can go back to it.

There are also a couple things I forgot to add

It would be great to also have the following:

Empty Trailer number
Empty trailer License Plate Number
Loaded Trailer Number
Loaded Trailer License Plate Number

Empty Mileage
Odometer Start/Stop
Loaded Mileage
Odometer Start Stop
Paid Empty Miles
Paid Loaded Miles
Scan Sheet ID number

The ability to add extra stops (There are some trips I do that have 15 stops, and we only have space for 2.

The ability to go back on loads that are completed and verify info

The Ability to go back on previous loads and Mark paid or unpaid

Here are the trip sheets that we presently use

How much would you be willing to pay, and how many people want it? I'm definitely interested, and something like this I could create pretty simply.

Here's some other work I recently did.
Testing
 
I would be willing to pay a reasonable price. If the database app works well i know that through word of mouth at terminals and truckstops it would definitely kick off. Hell we talk about apps all the time on the CB. It would definitely get free advertising
 
825 are you the creator of that app? If so AWESOME JOB!!!!! needs a couple of tweaks but I can email ya if you are the creator. That is an awesome start though!!!!
