A few years ago I think I tried them all. I went to customizing MS Money to work the way my settlements worked, plus keep track of the normal stuff. The key is to find something you will use and what's right for you.

The company we're leased to uses the Fleet version of Trucker's Helper, I wasn't thrilled about it, but he's gotten good support from the author.

Right now, I use Drivers Daily Log for my fuel and toll expenses along with my log book, then each month I take the miles and fuel and put them in a spreadsheet I have detailed by month, with everything per mile and per day. And a summary during the year.

The sloppy part comes in when I get home everything goes in one big pile. Then at the end of the year I go through and count everything again. I know I'm doing it twice, but when I was audited (three times), what I had in the computer didn't match every single receipt. So, to make sure everything is accurate when I do my return now.

I know Quickbooks is good, not sure if it will work for trucking though...
