Trucker's Wife/secretary

After being an in-town company driver, my husband is now driving under his own authority. I am a teacher/mom who is taking a year off, so the paperwork has become mine. My husband has files set up to organize all necessary documents, receipts, settlements, repairs, etc. I think he has things filed too broad (ex., general purchases, repairs). I think they should be more specific and would love to get the system up and running so that he can simply come home, drop his receipts and paperwork on the table and snug with our girls and me. Although I have been the wife of a trucker for over 11 years, I'm not familiar with much of the business. Are there any stay at home wives who handle this end of the business that would be willing to help me out? I'd really appreciate any feedback/advice.

I have a big manilla envelope and just stuff everything in there lol

We were owner operators...so I feel ya when it comes to paperwork.....I kept our paperwork broke down to the minimum.....deadhead miles, fuel, repairs, tolls, scales, work clothes...and days on the road. Also fuel taxes for each state, and the usual permits, insurance.....stuff like that. If you break those down to files...your tax adviser/accountant will be happy...
