As a company driver, I am very goal orientated and like to stay organized. Therefor, here are a few ideas that I would like to see as a possible update in the future, until then, will still have to do things the old fashion way... paper and pencil = Notepad on laptop, lol.
-----> All below is a suggestion and placement doesn't matter.
*** Under [Load Info] ***
Odometer reading
> Start
> Finish
>> Pay for load gets added to generated income automatically.
>>> Settings should have: / Pay Rate (cpm) , / Drop Pay Rate, / Detention Rate, (setting for how many hours)
/ Break Down Pay, / Tarp Pay,
/ Other.
---> Perhaps an input box for Reimbursements to manually fill in for company expense to be added to your generated income.
-------> A check mark or tic [BOX] when you scaled a load.
~ Extra brownie points ~
>> Drop down to allow for input ....
Steer Axle:
Drive Axle:
Trailer Axle:
Gross Weight:
AND/OR
Allow for a picture to be taken of the scale ticket.
*** New Tab for Weekly Goal ***
[ Able to select when cut off for pay week ends and what time. This allows the tab to start over. ] {Without Goals, you can't have ambitions}
> Miles - for pay week
> Pay - miles from that pay week
> Over / Under on Paid weekly miles
> Days to cut off ----> [not as important but might be useful to some]
> Miles to Goal - for week
~ Extra brownie points ~
>> Monthly to yearly 2D line chart to see your progress (miles), given to you by your company. This will keep you on track for the yearly pay raise and or bonus.
*** Under [Balance Sheet] ***
> Profit and Loss on miles.
----> Even as a company driver, your goal is to drive the amount you are paid and not much more. This tool always for improvement and to keep accountability. What do I mean for accountability? If your company gives you a load and route, this tool will allow for data to be stored for any discussion that might arise on why a trip took longer than what the company might have thought it would take. The DM only see miles and they(miles) are not always right.
All very good suggestions, I'm glad you made those comments Joshua.
