A truck mount that quits on a Saturday costs you the whole day. This log keeps oil, filters, seals and descaling on schedule by engine hours, tracks belts, seals and jets as they wear, and turns all your gear and the van into one monthly cost you can price into every job.
Nothing hidden here. You can read how hours and wear parts work right now, tab by tab. Pair it with our carpet cleaning quote calculator and both sides of the job are covered.

Questions
How is monthly equipment cost worked out?
Yearly wear on every item after resale, divided by 12, plus your average monthly maintenance over the last 12 months. It's an estimate.
Is there a blank version?
Yes. Every download has two files: one filled with examples so you can see how everything works, and a blank copy ready for your own business. Your rates and settings come filled in as a starting point, so change them to match yours.
Can I change the formulas?
The gray formula cells are locked so they can't be erased by accident. If you really want to change one, open Review in Excel and choose Unprotect Sheet. There's no password.
Does it work in Google Sheets?
Yes. Upload the file to Google Drive and open it with Google Sheets. The math works the same. Locks don't carry over, so just type in the yellow cells.
How do Free Lifetime Updates work?
Whenever we release a new version, you can download it free from your account, forever. We'll email you when there's something new.
