About The Truckers Helper, LLC.
The Truckers Helper was originally concieved in 1990 when John & Sheila Ewing started trucking. The original version of the program was a simple macro powered spread sheet written by John to assist Sheila in keeping up with their paperwork. In 1992, when John & Sheila became Owner/Operators, their needs increased and so John set to work rewriting the program to meet those new needs. As the program grew and took shape John & Sheila began to share the program with other owner/operators they met out on the road and the program began to take on a life of it's own. Slowly, in response to requests from these new users for additional features the program began to grow into it's current form. In 1996 John's pager was going off so frequently that it was getting hard to get down the road and the decision was made to sell the truck and devote full time to The Truckers Helper. Since that time the program has continued to grow with it's users and the original Owner/Operator program has now grown into a full blown small fleet program with all the tools necessary to manage a trucking business.

John,
I called the office on last Monday and left word that the auditor found that his office had missed a page when they photocopied my report. I had just started a spread sheet to list each entry and total them to prove the program was right when he called. It was his problem NOT the program's problem. I didn't think it was in the program but I wasn't going to argue with the auditor until I had double checked with you and the spread sheet. You know how the auditors get when challenged.
As he has learned how the program works, he is becoming more and more impressed with it. He has backed down from wanting about a half dozen additional record sets to only wanting to confirm my fuel receipt for one quarter. You have come through again.
THANK YOU AGAIN!!
Don Jones
John,
Good Evening John,
Am ready to attempt my first "download", having just received your e- mail. I again would like to thank you for a software package, that so far really suits my small company. In addition, I am grateful to both of you for being so patient and kind throughout my continuous "question/learning" period. I have found this industry overall to be at times, a very discouraging one, and you guys are always a pleasure to speak with. Keep up the good work - Southern Eagle Transport definately appreciates you!!
Thanks Again

John,

John,
John & crew,
Just a quick note to thank you for all of your assistance and co-operation. I can't express how much it means to know you are there and ready to help us when we have problems, even when it doesn't directly involve your excellent product. Good support is getting to be rare now days and to help customers with non-program problems is unheard of.
Also, are you still recommending avoiding COMPAQ computers because of the problem of getting information from them on the changes they make in the OS?
Thanks again!
Don Jones
