New: create your own trip statuses, not just Business and Private.
Until now, FleetTAB Trips let you sort each trip as Business or Private — the split a driver logbook needs for tax and compliance. But a trip is not always about tax. Sometimes it belongs to a business operation that has nothing to do with the business-or-private question: a delivery run, a service call, a site visit, a job number.
So we added custom statuses. You are no longer limited to Business and Private — you can create any status you want and apply it to your Wialon trips.
Why this matters
The Business / Private split exists for one reason: tax. It answers “is this trip deductible?” — and that is exactly the wrong question for a lot of fleets.
A field-service company doesn’t think in business-versus-private. It thinks in install, maintenance, and warranty. A logistics fleet thinks in delivery, pickup, and return. A municipal fleet thinks in route, callout, and depot. Forcing those into two tax buckets loses the information that actually runs the operation.
Take a plumbing fleet that used to tag everything Business. Now its trips read Install, Service, Warranty, and Supply run — so month-end reporting filters to “Warranty” in one click instead of re-reading every trip to work out what it was. You define the status once, and categorizing — and later filtering and exporting — gets simpler.
With custom statuses you label trips the way your business works, and the label is saved back to Wialon with the rest of the trip.
How it works
- Open the trips for your date range, the same as always.
- Instead of choosing only Business or Private, create a status with your own name.
- Apply it to one trip or to a selection of trips at once.
- The status is stored in Wialon alongside the trip, so it travels with your data.
You can still use Business and Private when you need the tax split — custom statuses sit beside them, not in place of them. They extend the same workflow described in A Free Driver Logbook for Your Wialon Fleet.
Free, and open to your suggestions
FleetTAB Trips is free and still in development. If there is a status, a field, or a part of the workflow you would like in your logbook, send us a note and we will build it together.
