Trip Sheet
A Trip Sheet is a basic record-keeping document used in the taxi and transportation industry to track driver activities and passenger journeys. It's like a daily log that shows important details about each trip, such as pickup locations, drop-off points, fares collected, and time spent driving. Modern companies might call this a "Driver Log" or "Journey Record." While traditional paper trip sheets are still used, many companies now use digital versions through mobile apps or computer systems, but the basic concept remains the same - it's a way to keep track of a driver's workday and their passenger services.
