For food truck operators

Mileage receipts for food truck operations

Events, urban routes, supplier runs.

Food trucks have two mileage categories: event trips (high value) and supplier trips (frequent).

Common pains

• Seasonal events — Festivals concentrate mileage.
• Gas/propane supplier trips — Weekly refills often unlogged.
• Unit maintenance — Specialized shop far away.

Best practices

• Tag event in purpose field — ROI analysis.
• Log supplier trips separately — Recurring input.
• Use cost center for maintenance — Operating cost.
