Describe your fleet, shuttle, or program. Makeform creates a transportation log form for driver, vehicle, route, time, mileage, passenger, and exception details.
Route trip records to Google Sheets, Slack, and Zapier.

Why structured trip logs matter
Connect the driver, vehicle, route, times, mileage, passenger totals, and exceptions in each record.
Dropdowns standardize drivers, vehicles, routes, and outcomes; numeric fields separate mileage and passenger totals from notes.
Keep both odometer readings so coordinators can calculate distance and review gaps between trips.
Conditional questions collect detail for delays, no-shows, damage, or mechanical issues while normal logs stay short.
Adapt it to your operation
Choose a service model, then edit its routes, vehicles, passenger categories, outcomes, and exceptions.
Track vehicles, purpose, destinations, mileage, fuel, and condition concerns.
Record routes, stops, passenger totals, equipment notes, no-shows, and exceptions.
Capture activity, vehicle, passenger counts, checkpoints, stops, and changes.
Compare pickup times, label outcomes, record waits, and flag incomplete rides.
Build the logging workflow
Describe each required record, generate the form, and test it as a driver before sharing.
Name your drivers, vehicles, routes, passenger categories, mileage readings, outcomes, and follow-up events.
Add real vehicle and route options. Reveal detail fields only for delays, no-shows, damage, or mechanical issues.
Complete normal and exception trips. Check numeric inputs, time order, and repeated data on a phone.
Publish the driver link. Route records for reconciliation and bring exceptions to the coordinator's attention.
Digital form vs paper log
Compare how each method standardizes driver entries and prepares records for review.
Field guide
Keep required fields concise and place uncommon details behind conditional questions.
Driver and vehicle
Connect every submission to a driver and vehicle. Use choice lists for stable rosters and an Other path for substitutes.
Trip and route
Record the origin, destination, purpose, and scheduled route. Keep route choices separate from notes for unusual destinations.
Time and mileage
Times show duration and variance. Odometer readings support distance calculations and comparisons between consecutive trips.
Passengers and stops
Count passengers by run or stop. Use categories only when needed and prefer a reference ID when a count is insufficient.
Trip outcome
Label completed, partial, cancelled, diverted, or no-show trips. Ask for a reason and next action only when needed.
Exceptions and condition
Screen for delays, passenger concerns, damage, fuel issues, or mechanical symptoms, then reveal focused details.

Practical answers for fleet and program coordinators replacing paper trip sheets.
A transportation log form records each trip's driver, vehicle, locations, times, odometer readings, passengers, outcome, and exceptions.
Require driver, vehicle, date, route, times, odometer readings, passenger count, and outcome. Reveal extra questions only for exceptions.
Collect starting and ending odometer readings in the same unit. A calculation can subtract the first from the second while preserving both for review.
Yes. Add vehicle, route, shift, and program dropdowns. Conditional logic can show route-specific questions, with an Other path for substitutes.
Ask one exception question. A Yes answer can reveal category, description, delay, action, and optional photo fields for follow-up.
Only when the workflow requires them. Often a total, stop-level counts, or a participant reference ID provides enough operational detail.
Yes. Makeform provides unlimited free forms and responses. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge.
Review submissions in Makeform or route them to your workflow. Sheets can support reconciliation, while email or Slack can surface exceptions.
Replace incomplete trip sheets with a consistent driver workflow.
