Louisville, KY - Bookkeeping Services for Trucking Companies from a Bookkeeper

April 18, 20252 min read

Running a trucking business is a nonstop job. You’re balancing routes, fuel costs, maintenance, and compliance, usually from the road. That doesn’t leave much time to stay on top of your books. At Chamberlain & Good Company, we work with owner-operators and small trucking fleets in Louisville to keep their finances clean, clear, and ready for whatever’s next.

Clean Up Daily Expenses

Fuel receipts, tolls, truck stops, and repairs add up fast. We help you track and organize these expenses, so they don’t get lost or miscategorized.

  • We categorize all your expenses by type

  • Match transactions to bank and card statements

  • Keep records accurate and easy to understand

  • Help maximize your deductible expenses

You won’t need to sort through a pile of faded receipts later. We’ll keep it updated and ready.

Separate Business from Personal

Mixing your business and personal spending creates a mess that’s hard to untangle. We help trucking clients:

  • Open and maintain clean business accounts

  • Track incoming payments from brokers or direct clients

  • Avoid costly mix-ups when tax season rolls around

Once it’s organized, it stays that way.

Tax Prep Made Simple

We’re not a tax firm, but we work closely with Total Accounting Services, our trusted tax partner. That means when tax time rolls around, your records are already in order. No last-minute scrambling or trying to pull everything together under pressure.

We prepare:

  • Profit and loss reports

  • Organized transaction histories

  • Mileage logs and per diem summaries

  • Clean reports formatted for your tax preparer

We take care of the details so you can keep rolling.

Mileage, Compliance, and Per Diem Tracking

Trucking isn’t just about income and expenses, and it’s about staying compliant, too. We help track the essentials that keep your operation running smoothly:

  • Mileage logs for IFTA and DOT compliance

  • Per diem tracking for long-haul travel

  • Load-based expense tracking when needed

We understand the specifics of your business and build systems that support how you actually work.

Stay Ahead of Cash Flow

Knowing where your money stands helps you plan smarter and avoid surprises. We provide monthly reports that show:

  • Income trends

  • Fuel and maintenance costs

  • Open invoices

  • What’s available, what’s pending, and what needs attention

You’ll always know where you stand, even if you’re not in the office.
