The Problem
You work hard — but the numbers aren't telling the whole story.
Edited rate cons. Hidden losing lanes. Receipts you forgot to log. The little things eat profit while you focus on driving.
Issue 02
Losing loads hide in plain sight
A "good rate" can still lose money after fuel, deadhead, and tolls. Without per-mile profit, weak freight blends in with the rest.
Issue 03
Manual entry kills your time
Typing pickup, delivery, rate, and miles for every load takes 15+ minutes. That's hours a week you'll never get back.
Issue 04
Tax season becomes cleanup season
Receipts in messages, paperwork in your truck, expenses in your head. April turns into weeks of digging instead of one tap.
Trucker Budget fixes that with AI that does the typing for you, flags scams before you sign, and shows the numbers that actually matter.
Why Trucker Budget
Built specifically for truck drivers
Generic budgeting apps don't speak trucking. Trucker Budget is designed from the ground up for owner operators who run their truck like the business it is.
Most budgeting and expense-tracking apps were built for households and W-2 employees. They have no concept of a rate confirmation or deadhead miles. Trucker Budget is different — it's a trucking bookkeeping app made for the realities of life on the road.
Every dollar you spend running the truck has a home here: fuel, maintenance and repairs, tolls, scales, insurance, permits, and the 2290. Income comes in load by load from your rate confirmations, and the app ties it all back to each load so your profit per mile stays accurate.
The result is owner-operator bookkeeping that stays clean all year — not a shoebox of receipts you dread every April.

FAQ
Questions owner operators ask
Straight answers on cost per mile, freight fraud, and owner-operator taxes.
What is Trucker Budget?
Trucker Budget is an AI-powered budgeting and expense tracking app for truck drivers and owner operators. It reads your rate confirmations and autofills the load details, flags rate-con and dispatch scams, and tracks your real profit per mile, alongside trucking expenses, bookkeeping, paperwork, and analytics.
What is the best budgeting app for truck drivers?
The best budgeting app for truck drivers is one built for trucking, not households. Trucker Budget is designed for owner operators — it understands rate confirmations, deadhead miles, and per-load profit, so your budget reflects how a truck actually earns and spends money.
How do owner operators track expenses?
Owner operators track expenses by logging every cost of running the truck — fuel, maintenance, tolls, scales, insurance, and permits — and tying it to the load or month it belongs to. Trucker Budget lets you capture an expense in seconds, sort it into a category, and scan the receipt, so nothing slips through.
How do I calculate profit per mile?
Profit per mile is your income for a load or period minus all expenses, divided by the miles you drove (deadhead included). Our guide to calculating profit per mile walks through it with an example. Trucker Budget calculates it automatically for every load, and our free load profit calculator and cost per mile calculator give you a quick number when you're sizing up a lane.
How do I calculate my cost per mile?
Add up your fixed costs (truck payment, insurance, permits) and variable costs (fuel, tires, maintenance), include the pay you want for yourself, then divide by your total miles driven, deadhead included. Our cost-per-mile guide works through it with an example, our free cost per mile calculator gives you a number in seconds, and the app tracks it per load automatically.
What bookkeeping software is best for trucking?
The best trucking bookkeeping software keeps income, expenses, and per-load profit in one place and exports clean reports for your accountant. Trucker Budget handles owner-operator bookkeeping end to end — categorized expenses, per-load income from your rate cons, and one-tap PDF or CSV reports — without the overhead of generic accounting tools.
How do I spot a fake rate confirmation?
Watch for mismatched fonts, a rate that's too good for the lane, changed remit-to details, and broker contact info you can't verify. Confirm the broker with a phone number from FMCSA, not the one on the rate con. Our guide to spotting fake rate cons has the full checklist, and the app's Rate Fraud Detector flags tampering automatically.
Is Trucker Budget free?
Trucker Budget is free to download on the Apple App Store. You can try it with a free trial and a limited demo mode, and a subscription unlocks the full app.
