Owner Operator - Company driver

Owner operator or Company Driver

This software can be used in Company Driver or Owner operator mode. The key difference is math for the totals and availability of the Invoice feature

Switching between the Company Driver and Owner Operator modes is done under [Tools & Preferences / Driver Information] screen:




When this setting is changed the software have to be restarted for the mode switch to take effect.

Owner Operator mode

This trucker accounting software was designed for the owner operator. While the company driver mode is available, the main features of this software are written with the owner operator in mind as you can see from the feature list to the left.

The key difference between the Owner Operator and Company driver modes is the math. The following is an example of Owner Operator settlement print out:

Company Driver mode

In the company driver mode the software does not load the "Invoices" panel and changes the math around.

Report produced with Nautilus IV © www.largosoftware.com

All of the Expenses incurred by the company driver, including Fuel and Lumping are reimbursable by the company and therefore added to the Trip pay; (If the expense is not reimbursable it is up to the driver to enter or not enter them for his or her own records, any and all expenses can be included or excluded from the [Settlement] printout.)

The software does not display any of the IFTA or Invoice features in company driver mode because they are irrelevant to the company driver.

Other then that the software works in exactly the same way whether you are an Owner Operator or Company driver. The goal of this software is to help the driver to track his or her expenses, take a look at a glance at the business and help with tax preparation.
