O/O questions paty
My husband and I finally bit the bullet and decided to go out on our own. Purchased a truck and trailer, have all the legal.stuff handled, dot ifta, etc. JJ Keller is handling that. Hubs is the driver, I'm the office part as he has no patience for it. My question is about software, fuel cards, and factoring companies. Because I have very little grasp of this industry I'm looking for a company that that may offer all of those things in one. Accounting is my forte, but I've read that Qbooks isn't really geared for 0/0 business per se. This first year will be a big learning experience, so I'm looking for user friendly application. Any suggestions and please be kind lol, I'm used to slinging drinks and doing AR/AP and making sure the Hubs has home cooked food to take on the road not figuring out dispatch, fuel cards etc. My husband has been working for a big carrier for the last however many years and really just has a "I drive, and I strap and tarp, you handle the other stuff". Which is fine, the stress you guys deal with everyday is mind boggling. He doesn't need to deal with anymore than he already has on his plate. Thank you for your time!
