For defense attorneys and license-restoration practices
A travel log your clients can actually keep, and actually produce.
Texas ODL and similar restricted-license trip records, logged on the phone your client already carries and exported as a clean PDF whenever one is asked for.
The problem you already know
When the order requires a travel log, it has to show the date, time, and location of every trip on demand. What your client keeps is folded notebook paper, filled in from memory days later, in handwriting an officer has to squint at.
What your client does
About thirty seconds per trip, most of it taps rather than typing.
Before leaving
Enter the odometer, pick From and Going to from saved places or a Google search, tap Start trip.
On arrival
Accept the drive time and miles pulled from Google Maps or type over them, choose a reason, tap Arrive.
Any time
Export a PDF or CSV for whatever date range you ask for.
What lands on your desk
One PDF per date range. Every trip carries the date, origin and destination names, both street addresses, depart and arrive times, the odometer reading at each end, miles driven, and the reason for the trip — with your client's name and the generation date on every page.
See a real export (PDF)Why it fits restricted-license orders
- Built for occupational travel logs, not tax mileage: date, time, both locations, the reason for the trip, and the odometer at each end.
- Saved places remember their default reason, so repeat trips stay consistent.
- Mistakes can be corrected and the date range re-exported.
- Once synced, the log opens offline — so it works at the roadside, not just at your desk.
Texas orders may require a travel log showing the date, time, and location of travel. Tex. Transp. Code § 521.248(e).
Background on what these logs are for: the occupational driving log guide.
What it costs you
Nothing. Your client pays: 7-day free trial, then $7.99/month or $49/year. iPhone, Android, and web on one account.
What to tell your client
