For local & regional drivers
Fuel, parking, meals, tolls. Sleeping in your own bed does not file anything. Photograph each receipt at the pump and it is kept.

What you're carrying
Same pump, same slip, five days a week
Lots, meters, and garages on the route
Bought on the road even when you sleep at home
Every day, both directions, all year
The things you pick up between runs
None of it is dramatic. It is the same handful of slips, five days a week, fifty weeks a year, and that is exactly why it stops getting kept.
What goes wrong
Long-haul drivers know the paper matters because it accumulates somewhere visible. On a local run it goes in the cup holder, then the door pocket, then the kitchen counter, and the same familiarity that makes it feel unimportant is what makes twelve months of it disappear.
The truck is still hot in July. Thermal paper does not care whether the route was three hundred miles or thirty. A photograph does not fade.
How it works
At the pump or the lot, before you climb back in.
Vendor, date, and total pulled off the paper. No typing.
Filed and searchable, so the drawer at home stays empty.
Why a photo counts
You don't have to keep the paper. The IRS has accepted electronic records since 1997, as long as the copies meet a few basic conditions.

Questions
You can, and some drivers do. The catch is that the pile at home is fed by a pile in the truck, and the paper fades in the truck. Photographing at the pump takes the second pile out of the process entirely.
Yes. Under Rev. Proc. 97-22 the IRS accepts electronic copies of paper records, provided the image is legible, matches the original, can be printed on request, and is stored securely. This is a recordkeeping answer, not tax advice — talk to your tax preparer about your own situation.
It makes it easier to remember and harder to prove. Twenty identical fuel slips from the same station are exactly the ones nobody keeps, because each one feels like a copy of the last. Any single one of them is still the only record of that purchase.
No. CabSnap captures and keeps receipts, and that is the whole job. If you need mileage tracking you will want a separate app for it.
You can correct any field yourself. The original photo is always kept alongside the data, so even if a number is off, the actual receipt image is still there as your record.
