text only is all I need. Fancy bells and whistles were Microsoft's mistake.

All I need to do is replace my trip notebook. It has details of my trips: number, trailer number and license, shipper and consignee addresses, directions etc.

I want to be able to save all that data (I can mail samples of the page or try to describe the size of the various fields) and search/order it by any given field.

Example: I am assigned a load coming out of Channahon, IL drop yard and going to North Lima, OH. I remember having been to that consignee before but can't remember their name. So I search for all trips destined for North Lima OH. A list should pop up showing three trips in the last two years. I choose the customer's name from the two that are there and up comes that page, complete with the directions I used last time and my notes on parking and local truck stops.

See?
