Business vs. Personal Vehicle Usage
Separate Work and Personal Driving. Track Business Mileage. Simplify Vehicle Reporting.
When employees use company vehicles for both business and personal travel, keeping accurate records of how those vehicles are used can become complicated. Trackem simplifies this.
Easily Separate Business and Personal Driving
Not every trip in a company vehicle is business-related. Employees may drive between customer locations during the day, commute to and from work or use an assigned vehicle for personal errands.
Automatically classify trips as Work or Personal
Set individual employee work schedules
Allow drivers to manually change trip classifications
Correct previously recorded trips
Track business and personal mileage separately
Review driving time, distance, stops and idle time
Associate business trips with customers and invoice numbers
Generate detailed reports for administrative review
Reduce manual mileage tracking and paperwork
Maintain organized historical vehicle activity records
Instead of trying to reconstruct how vehicles were used at the end of the week, month or year, your business can leverage Trackem GPS-based driving records organized by business or personal use trip types.

Automatically Classify Trips Based on Work Schedules
Let Trackem distinguish between work and personal driving automatically.
Trackem allows businesses to establish individual driving schedules that automatically classify vehicle activity as Work or Personal.
Administrators can configure working hours for individual drivers, selected groups or all drivers.
Work schedules can include:
- Different working hours for each day
- Up to three separate work periods per day
- Entire days designated as personal driving
- Individual schedules for different employees
- Automatic switching between Work and Personal status
This is especially useful for businesses with employees who take company vehicles home, work split shifts or have different weekly schedules.
Automatic classification reduces the need for drivers to manually identify every trip while helping maintain consistent records.
Give Drivers Control Over Their Trip Classification
With the Trackem Driver App, employees can:
- Switch between Work and Personal driving status
- Review previously recorded trips
- Correct trips classified incorrectly
- Actual arrival time
- Actual departure time
- Total time at the jobsite
- Mid-day departures
- Potential time theft
- Lunch breaks
- Return visits
- Travel between jobs
- Time spent at multiple customer locations
- Add an explanation when changing a trip's classification
- Associate work trips with specific customers
- Add invoice numbers to business-related trips
The app displays Work trips in green and Personal trips in blue, making it easy to distinguish between the two. This flexibility allows employees to maintain accurate driving records even when their schedules change unexpectedly.
Simplify Business Mileage Tracking and Reporting
Accurate mileage records are important for businesses managing company vehicles, employee travel, and vehicle-related expenses.
Trackem automatically records GPS-based vehicle activity and organizes driving information according to its Work or Personal classification.
Administrators can review reports showing total business and personal mileage, driving time, distance, speed, stop time, idle time, individual trip classifications, and hitsorical route activity.
Manage Employee Vehicle Usage Without the Guesswork
Allowing employees to take company vehicles home or use them outside regular business hours can create additional administrative work.
Managers need to understand how vehicles are being used while maintaining clear distinctions between business and personal travel.
Trackem gives administrators access to driving classifications and route reports from one central platform.
Centralized Administrative Controls
Administrators can establish work schedules for drivers, configure automatic classification and review business versus personal driving activity.
Driver-Managed Trip Status
Employees can use the Driver App to update their driving status and correct previously recorded trips when necessary.
Updated Reporting
Changes made to trip classifications in the Driver App are reflected in administrative route reports in real time.
Together, these features create a more consistent approach to managing mixed-use vehicles while reducing the need for manual reporting.
Support Vehicle Expense Tracking and Tax Documentation
Simplify Business Mileage Tracking and Reporting
Support company vehicle expense calculations
For businesses that allow personal use of company vehicles, maintaining a clear distinction between work-related and personal driving can be important for accounting and tax reporting.
Business and personal mileage may need to be identified separately when reviewing vehicle expenses, employee benefits or taxable automobile usage.
Trackem provides GPS-based trip classifications and mileage information that can help support these processes.
- Review business and personal driving distances
- Support company vehicle expense calculations
- Identify personal use of employer-provided vehicles
- Organize information for accountants and bookkeepers
- Reduce manual mileage recordkeeping
- Support internal vehicle-use policies
Important: GPS records help document vehicle activity, but automatic Work or Personal classifications do not necessarily determine how a trip should be treated for tax purposes. Businesses should confirm applicable requirements with their accountant or tax advisor.
