Trucker Core — It’s Not Just Another Expense Calculator Trucker Core is a daily business assistant built for owner-operators in the trucking industry. It tracks and analyzes your business — loads, miles, income, expenses, fuel, and fuel taxes. It shows how much you’re really making, where your money is going, and what you can change to keep more of it — starting today. “I made that much money… so where did it all go?” Trucker Core helps you answer that question not at the end of the year, but every day. IFTA — NOT JUST A CALCULATION, BUT A DAILY ASSISTANT At any time, tap “Calculate IFTA” to see how much fuel tax you’ve accumulated as of today and how much is owed or credited in each state. But Trucker Core goes beyond a typical IFTA calculator. The app includes a built-in IFTA Assistant. It analyzes your miles by state, fuel purchases, and current route to help identify where along your route you may want to fuel to optimize your IFTA balance and potentially reduce the final amount due. You see the situation today, while you can still make informed decisions — not after the quarter is already over. YOUR BUSINESS — TODAY, NOT A MONTH AGO Open Trucker Core at any time and see: How much you’ve earned, how much you’ve spent, your current profit, exactly where your money went, and how much you’re projected to have left by the end of your workweek. Fuel, insurance, dispatch, tolls, parking, repairs, permits, maintenance, and other expenses — everything comes together in one clear picture. Trucker Core doesn’t just show how much money you have left. More importantly, it shows you WHY. EVERY LOAD — UNDER CONTROL Upload your Rate Confirmation and Trucker Core extracts the load details, calculates the route, loaded miles, deadhead, and rate per mile, and helps you understand how profitable that load really is for your business. Running a partial load? Trucker Core accounts for the additional revenue without counting the same miles twice. MILES ARE TRACKED AUTOMATICALLY Start your shift and drive. Trucker Core records your route, identifies each state, and automatically tracks mileage by jurisdiction. That data is used for IFTA, reports, and mileage-tax calculations. Trucker Core also supports New York HUT, Kentucky KYU, New Mexico WDT, Oregon WMT, and Connecticut HUF. FUEL, EXPENSES & DOCUMENTS Take a photo of your fuel receipt and Trucker Core extracts the fueling information. Keep your CDL, Medical Card, Registration, Insurance, Annual Inspection, permits, and other important documents in one place — and get reminders before they expire. REPORTS — WHEN YOU NEED THEM Generate reports for income, expenses, loads, fuel, and other business metrics for any selected period. At the end of the quarter, generate a detailed IFTA report with a state-by-state breakdown and export your reports as PDF or CSV. YOUR ENTIRE BUSINESS IN ONE TRUCKER CORE Loads, revenue, expenses, profit, miles, fuel, IFTA, mileage taxes, documents, and reports work together as one connected system — not a collection of separate calculators. Trucker Core works with you every day — tracking, calculating, analyzing, and helping you make smarter decisions. And the app keeps evolving, with new tools built around the real everyday needs of owner-operators. Know what you earned. Know where your money went. Understand why. And make decisions today — not when it’s already too late. Trucker Core — built by a trucker, for truckers. Because no one understands this job better than those who live life on the road.
