Scott B. has worked on the Field Nation platform since 2014. Providing Smart Hands services to clients in the Atlanta area, he specializes in point-of-sale systems and structured cabling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Scott described how he works closely with his clients\u2019 remote staff. Often, he acts as \u201ctheir eyes and ears,\u201d traveling frequently to work on-site.<\/span><\/p>\n

To more easily and accurately track his mileage to job sites, he began using the TripLog mileage tracking feature when it was first introduced. TripLog is part of <\/span>Field Nation Pro<\/span><\/a>, a premium service for technicians that offers faster payment and better access to opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n

TripLog allows technicians to automatically record their mileage using GPS tracking within the Field Nation app. Technicians can also enter their mileage manually after a job is completed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Independent contractors can use TripLog to claim a mileage deduction on their federal income taxes. This year, the standard deduction is $0.56 per mile.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPrior to using TripLog, I would write my mileage down on a piece of paper. I tried to tally my mileage each week or month, but I know I was leaving money on the table.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He highlighted the importance and convenience of automated mileage tracking.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTripLog definitely helps me be more efficient in claiming my mileage deduction. I really appreciate seeing where I\u2019m going for a job and automatically tracking my mileage \u2014 within the same platform!\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
