History of TrucksBook

In the beginning, in 2012, there was a virtual company called First Line Transport, created by Filda. He has developed a logbook for it in Microsoft Excel, which was very well thought out and well made. However, the entire management of the virtual company was very complex, so Filda began to develop the so-called online VTC manager. Originally it was meant to be used only by one company. It had basic features - a list of drivers, simple statistics and a logbook. After some time, the project got its name - TrucksBook.

Other virtual companies soon became interested in the project, so support for more companies was added. Design also underwent changes and new features were added - chat, mobile version and company statistics.

TrucksBook has been running for quite a while, but there have been quite a few problems in the meantime. Design became obsolete, companies and players have begun to argue about cheating. Some features were no longer functional or obsolete and only partially functional. At the time, that is in 2014, Domcek reacted to TrucksBook and decided to make a competition - the VTC project. VTC was exceptional by being able to get data directly from the game and so there was no need to enter them manually.

After several months of activity, VTC was terminated because SCS Software changed its data structure, making it inaccessible to the public, and so the VTC project did not offer anything that TrucksBook did not already include. Domcek, the author of VTC, then joined TrucksBook and began developing the TrucksBook Lite. It was supposed to be a simpler version of TrucksBook without unnecessary features, flawlessly functional and easy to use.

He managed to create it, but it has not met with great interest among companies. So both systems run independently of each other. During that time, game data were accessible again and so the program for automatic job logging, which enjoyed great popularity, was restored.

During the year 2015, we decided that TrucksBook should be completely redesigned. At that time we recruited other enthusiasts who wanted to participate in the project. First one was Skipper, who was managing all the communication with public and led the team of testers. Then also kralik contacted us and implemented innovative features from his competing project (mainly the online map and route tracking of the job delivery), collaborated on reworking of the current version and is still an integral part of the team focusing on the development of the TB Client. A couple of months later, morrelo joined the team to take care of the content of the website while fixing various issues, creating promotional materials, translating the entire website into English, and is now the main administrator.

Things started moving and dream plans have become reality. Our goal was to create a new, more user-friendly, modern, responsive, and more sophisticated TrucksBook. Did we succeed? Judge for yourself!
