Questions people ask

How do I get the files?

This is a digital download. Nothing is shipped. After you pay on Etsy, download the files from your Etsy account (Purchases). Open the PDF guide first.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Use the free Google Sheets app. The guide has a button to make your own copy. It also works in Microsoft Excel 2010 or newer.

I am leased-on. Does it work for me?

Yes. Type the part of the load pay you keep (for example, 70%). The sheet does the rest. There is a ready example file for leased-on drivers.

My truck runs on gas, not diesel. Does it work?

Yes. Pick diesel, gasoline, natural gas or electric. The sheet uses the right price and the right unit.

Does it do my taxes or IFTA?

No, on purpose. It only does your own numbers: your costs, your loads and the money left. It is not tax, legal or financial advice.

Something is not working. What do I do?

Send us a message on Etsy. We answer and fix it. If we can't, we review your case for a refund.
