Scan Trucking Receipts in 2 Seconds — AI Does the Rest
The average owner-operator handles 1,200+ receipts per year — fuel stops, tolls, scales, lumper fees, maintenance, meals, and supplies. Most of them end up in a shoebox, a zip-lock bag on the dash, or crumpled in a pocket. At tax time, drivers spend 20+ hours sorting and lose an average of $4,800 in missed deductions from lost receipts (National Association of Tax Professionals). TRU LOAD’s AI receipt scanner eliminates this problem entirely.

Snap a Photo
Open TRU LOAD and point your camera at the receipt. Or say “Hey Tru Load, scan receipt.” The AI captures the image automatically when it detects a receipt — no button press needed.
AI Reads Everything
In under 2 seconds, the AI extracts: vendor name, date, total amount, payment method, and line items. It recognizes 50,000+ trucking vendors including all major fuel stops, repair chains, and truck stops.
Voice Confirmation
TRU LOAD reads back: “Looks like fuel at Pilot for $187.42 on March 15th. Right?” Say “yes” and it is filed. Say “no” and correct with voice. Takes 3 seconds total.
Auto-Categorized and Filed
The receipt is automatically categorized (fuel, maintenance, tolls, etc.), added to your expense tracker, and if it is fuel, the IFTA log is updated with gallons and state of purchase. Done.

How accurate is the AI receipt scanner?+
TRU LOAD's receipt scanner achieves 98.7% accuracy on vendor name, amount, and date fields. For the small percentage of receipts that are faded, crumpled, or unusual formats, the AI asks for voice confirmation before filing. You can always correct any field with a tap or voice command.
Does it work with handwritten receipts?+
Yes. The AI can read most handwritten receipts, though accuracy is slightly lower (around 95%). For handwritten lumper receipts or repair shop invoices, TRU LOAD will show you the parsed data and ask for confirmation before filing.
How does the IFTA auto-update work?+
When you scan a fuel receipt, TRU LOAD automatically extracts the gallons, price per gallon, total amount, and fuel type. It cross-references your GPS location to determine the state of purchase and adds it to your IFTA fuel log. At quarter end, all fuel purchases are already organized by state.
Can I scan receipts while driving?+
You should never handle your phone while driving. However, TRU LOAD supports voice-activated receipt logging: say "Hey Tru Load, I just fueled at Pilot for $187" and it creates a pending expense entry. Scan the physical receipt at your next stop to attach the image.
Does it export to my accountant?+
Yes. TRU LOAD exports receipts and categorized expenses to CSV, PDF, or directly to QuickBooks. Your accountant gets organized, categorized expenses with receipt images attached — no more shoeboxes at tax time.
