To **track toll and parking costs for each trip**, have drivers record every toll and parking expense with a receipt photo, link it to the trip and vehicle, and sum these costs per trip, customer and month.

In **Jestor**, expenses are linked to trips, and the Image Reader (**OCR**) reads receipt data to reduce manual entry.

## Why do small trip costs add up?

Tolls and parking seem small individually, but they add up quickly across many trips. Receipts are often lost or kept for weeks.

Without linking these costs to trips, freight prices may not cover them, and reimbursement to drivers is slow.

## What problems does trip cost tracking solve?

- Lost receipts and unreimbursed drivers
- Costs not included in freight prices
- No total per customer or route
- Manual typing of receipts
- Late expense reports

## How do I track toll and parking costs in Jestor?

1. **Create an expense form** with trip, vehicle, type, amount and receipt photo.
2. **Use OCR** to extract the amount and date from the receipt.
3. **Link expenses** to the trip and customer.
4. **Approve reimbursements** in a simple approval step.
5. **Build dashboards** with costs per trip, route and month.

| Expense type  | Linked to         | Used for               |
| ------------- | ----------------- | ---------------------- |
| Toll          | Trip and route    | Route cost analysis    |
| Parking       | Trip and customer | Customer profitability |
| Reimbursement | Driver            | Payment to driver      |

## How do these costs affect pricing?

Routes with frequent tolls or expensive parking cost more to serve.

Knowing these numbers helps adjust freight rates or delivery fees for specific regions.

## Why use Jestor for trip expenses?

- **Mobile receipts**: drivers register expenses on the spot.
- **OCR**: amounts and dates extracted automatically.
- **Trip links**: costs connected to routes and customers.
- **ERP integration**: approved reimbursements can be sent to **Omie** or **Conta Azul** for payment.

Quick reimbursement also matters to drivers. When expenses are approved within days instead of weeks, drivers trust the process and keep submitting receipts correctly.

Regular routes can also have expected toll values. Comparing actual expenses with that reference highlights unusual amounts that deserve a second look.

This is how you track toll and parking costs for each trip without losing receipts.
