The problem

GPS trackers kill your battery.
Spreadsheets kill your time.

Most gig drivers leave hundreds of dollars on the table every year. Not because they didn't drive. Because they didn't document.

Mileage apps drain your battery mid-shift

Constant GPS polling kills a phone in 4 hours. The last thing you need is a dead phone between rides.
Manual spreadsheets are one crash away from $0

If you can't prove each trip with a timestamp and route, the IRS assumes it didn't happen.
Platform screenshots are already on your phone

Every completed trip generates a receipt. You're just not using it as documentation yet.

Real drivers. Real results.

What drivers say about RouteLedger

These aren't cherry-picked edge cases. These are typical outcomes for drivers who use it seriously.

"My accountant told me I was the most documented driver she'd ever worked with. Got back $3,200 more this year than last. I was skeptical about using screenshots, but the AI extraction is genuinely impressive."

Marcus T.

Uber + Lyft driver, Atlanta

"I do DoorDash and Instacart simultaneously. RouteLedger handles both platforms perfectly and keeps them separate. The mileage mode options are a game-changer — I run CPA mode and it's maximized every deduction legally."

Sarah K.

DoorDash + Instacart, Phoenix

"Used to lose maybe 40 minutes a week on mileage tracking. Now I screenshot after every ride, upload in batches on Sunday, and it's done. The export for my CPA is clean and professional. Worth every penny of the Pro plan."

David R.

Uber Black driver, Chicago

Frequently asked questions

No. RouteLedger is entirely screenshot-based. We never access your location, camera, or GPS in the background. Your battery drain is zero. You take screenshots of completed trips manually — we process the images you upload.

Conservative counts only miles shown in the platform screenshot (on-trip miles). Working Session counts from the moment you went online to the moment you went offline, including deadhead miles. CPA Mode calculates the legally defensible maximum deductible route based on IRS Publication 463 guidelines. If you're unsure, ask your accountant — but most full-time drivers benefit most from CPA Mode.

Free accounts retain evidence for 90 days. Pro accounts store evidence for 3 years — which covers the IRS's standard 3-year audit window. Live accounts receive lifetime retention. The IRS can audit up to 6 years back in some cases; we recommend Live plan if you're a full-time gig worker treating this as a business.

Fully supported: Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Instacart, Amazon Flex, Grubhub, and Postmates. Beta support: Shipt, Spark Driver, Gopuff. If you use a platform we don't recognize, you can manually enter the route details after upload. New platforms added regularly based on user requests.

The IRS requires a contemporaneous log with date, destination, business purpose, and mileage. RouteLedger creates exactly that from your screenshots, with timestamps derived from the screenshot metadata. Our accountant export includes every original screenshot as corroborating evidence. Multiple CPAs have reviewed our format and declared it audit-ready. That said, RouteLedger does not provide tax advice — consult your CPA.

Yes — Pro and Live plans include the Accountant Portal. You generate a secure share link (expiring, revocable) that lets your accountant view your mileage ledger and download evidence packages without needing a RouteLedger account. You control exactly what they can see and when the link expires.

When you cancel, you have 30 days to export everything — full account data, all screenshots, complete mileage ledger in all formats. After 30 days, your data is permanently deleted. We don't hold your records hostage. You can also do a full data export at any time from Settings at no charge.
