GigClaim is built around reviewable records: track the work session, inspect trips, add missed entries or notes when needed, then export only after the record makes sense.

That workflow is useful for busy delivery and rideshare days where personal errands, weak GPS, parking, tolls, or route changes can make a raw mileage total hard to trust without review.

Delivery sessions

Track the session and review the trips

Restaurant delivery work often has gaps between orders. Those gaps should be reviewed instead of automatically treated as one thing.

Use a workflow that lets you inspect dates, distances, classifications, confidence, and notes before export.

  • Start tracking when delivery work begins
  • Review trips between restaurants and customer drop-offs
  • Check downtime and repositioning between orders
  • Add missed records when tracking was interrupted

GPS limits

Do not hide weak tracking details

Dense restaurant areas, garages, battery saver, and app interruptions can affect location records.

A conservative recordkeeping workflow should flag weak records for review so drivers can correct or explain them where appropriate.

  • Check weak-signal trips
  • Review manual entries before export
  • Use notes for route corrections or unusual waits

Exports

Export after review

GigClaim is built so drivers can review locally, then export mileage, expense, earnings, and note records when they choose.

Exports are for record organization and tax-preparation workflows. They are not tax filing or tax advice.

Review checklist

What to check before exporting

Trip classifications

Review whether each trip is work, commute, personal, or needs review. Do not assume every captured mile has the same tax treatment.

Common mistakes

Check late starts, forgotten stops, mixed personal errands, weak GPS, battery-saver gaps, and manual entries before relying on totals.

Export readiness

Confirm dates, distances, notes, expenses, earnings, and review-needed records before sharing an export with a tax professional or other trusted recipient.
