iPhone FileMaker Go App for Trip Logging
Drivers record delivery statistics using the new iPhone application, entering their receipts on an offline copy of the database stored directly on each driver’s iPhone.

All this electronic gear is underpowered by today's battery technology, in my opinion. Fortunately, there are many options for spare battery packs. I just recently purchased a compact external battery that will power any device that can charge via USB. It should extend the 3 hours of use I get from the mobile hotspot to a full day, or approximately double the time I can use the phone. Not a bad deal for $41.95. I purchased
