The job log built by Driver for Drivers. Driver Transport App is a fast, offline-first logbook for UK vehicle transport, trade-plate and collection-and-delivery drivers. Log a collection in seconds, snap your photos and receipts, run a DVLA check on the reg, and hand the office a tidy PDF — all from your phone, all without a sign-up. BUILT FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY WORK • Fully offline. Yards with no signal, motorway laybys, underground car parks — it just works. • No accounts. No sign-up. No email address. Open the app and you are straight into a new job. • UK driver vocabulary throughout: yellow plates, postcodes, authorisation codes, coordinator names, BCA-style job numbers. • Free to download, free to use up to 20 new jobs per month. SCAN, DON'T TYPE • Point your camera at a job sheet, V5C or windscreen and the app reads the registration, VIN and postcode straight in. • Snap a fuel, toll or parking receipt and the total auto-fills against the travel leg. • All scanning runs on-device using Apple Vision — nothing leaves your phone. • Hands full? Use voice dictation (UK English) for the coords name and travel-leg notes. ONE-TAP VEHICLE CHECKS • Live MOT and road-tax status from the official DVLA Vehicle Enquiry Service. • Make, model, year, colour and fuel auto-filled from the reg. • Clear badges so you spot a tax or MOT issue before you load the truck. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE • Pickup and drop-off addresses with UK postcode and address autocomplete. • Saved Locations address book for your regular auctions, dealers and compounds — one tap to fill an address. • Categorised photos (vehicle, pickup, drop-off, damage, other) with captions. • Travel legs with mode, distance, cost and a receipt photo each. • Save your driver-ID prefix once and only type the suffix the office gives you. PDFS THAT LOOK THE PART • One-tap PDF for any job — every photo, receipt and leg embedded inline. • Yellow UK plate, contents page, totals, clean typography. Looks like something you'd actually hand to an office. • Or back up your whole log to a single PDF and share via iCloud Drive, Google Drive, OneDrive, Files, email or messages. PRO — Ā£6.99 / MONTH OR Ā£59.99 / YEAR Annual works out at about Ā£5.00 per month — around 28% off monthly. Cancel any time in your App Store settings. • Unlimited jobs (Free is capped at 20 new jobs per month) • No PDF watermark • DVLA reg lookup, MOT and road-tax check, UK address autocomplete • App Cloud — automatic backup to a private UK/EU server. Restore your whole job log on a new phone in seconds with a single Restore Code. • Or back up to your own private Google Drive folder. Only this app can see it. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT • No accounts. No analytics. No advertising IDs. No third-party trackers. • Your jobs, photos and receipts stay on your phone unless you turn cloud backup on. • The only outbound calls are to the DVLA service and a UK address lookup — and only when you tap the button. FOR DRIVERS WHO ARE FED UP OF ...the spreadsheet that lives on three different phones, the WhatsApp thread that gets pruned when storage fills up, and the fleet app that wants Ā£15 a month and a forty-step onboarding before you can log a single collection. Download, log a job, send a PDF. That's the whole thing. Built in the UK. Made for the cab. Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
