The Trips tab holds everything you have planned, started, or finished. It is one scrollable list, grouped by time, with a search box at the top and a few simple filters. Open it from the Trips tab at the bottom of the screen. Over time, this list becomes a travel diary. Open it months later, type the name of a town you stayed in, and you will find the trip again. You can see at a glance which finished trips still want your notes. Once you have a handful of trips behind you, a scorecard appears showing how far you have travelled with this rig. It is simply the part of loadmate that remembers where you have been. You can browse, search, filter, and read your travel stats for free. Cancelling a trip is a Pro action. Demo trips are read-only, so you can look around without changing anything.

​
Find a trip in the list

The list is grouped into sections by time. The sections always appear in the same order. Each one only shows up when it has a trip in it:
  • In progress — a trip you have started and not yet ended
  • Departing this week — trips leaving within the next week
  • Coming up — trips planned further ahead
  • Awaiting feedback — finished trips waiting on your notes
  • Recently completed — trips you have just returned from
  • Earlier trips — older finished trips
  • Cancelled — plans you called off, tucked away and collapsed until you ask to see them
Every trip uses the same row shape all the way down the list: a small route symbol, a status dot, the trip name, where it goes, and the dates or distance. The rows look the same whether a trip is coming up or long finished. That way you scan one steady pattern instead of learning a different card for each kind of trip.

On a larger screen, such as a tablet, the list and the trip you have open can sit side by side, so you can browse and read at the same time. On a phone the open trip fills the screen.

​
Search and filter

When the list grows, two tools help you find one trip quickly. A search box sits at the top and stays put while the rest of the list scrolls. Its placeholder reads Search destination, date, or notes. Type the town you stayed in, a date, or a word from your own trip notes, and the list narrows as you type. A small clear button removes your search when you are done. Just below it is a filter row that scrolls away with the list. It holds three controls:
  • A status filter that opens a short menu when you tap it: All, Upcoming, Completed, and (once you have any) Cancelled. Pick one to show only trips of that kind. Each option carries a small count. The Cancelled option only appears in the menu when you actually have a cancelled trip.
  • A rig filter that reads All rigs. Tap it to narrow the list to a single vehicle or trailer setup, so you only see the trips you took with that rig. This filter only appears once you have trips across more than one rig. If all your trips belong to a single setup, there is nothing to filter, so it stays out of the way.
  • A time-range chip that sets how far back the list reaches.
The time-range chip starts on Last 12 months, so you see the past year of travel by default. Tap it to choose a different window:
  • Last 12 months — the default; the past year of trips
  • This year — trips from the start of the current calendar year
  • Last year — the previous calendar year
  • All time — every trip you have ever recorded
  • Custom range — pick your own start and end dates
The time-range you choose scopes both the visible list and your travel scorecard totals further down. If your numbers look smaller than you expect, check whether the chip is set to Last 12 months rather than All time.

​
When a trip needs you — the row action

Most rows are just there to be read. A small action button only appears on a row when that trip is waiting on you. The list stays quiet until there is something to do:
  • A trip that is In progress offers a button to open it again, so you can carry on where you left off.
  • A finished trip that is waiting on your notes shows a Log feedback button. Tap it to record how the trip went while it is still fresh.
  • A trip in the Departing this week group with outstanding pre-trip checks shows how many are pending and a Review button to work through them. Trips planned further ahead stay quiet. The readiness prompt waits until departure is close.
The readiness prompt on a departing-soon row is always a plain count of what is still outstanding, such as 2 pre-trip checks pending. It is never a “3 of 8 done” fraction, and never a progress bar. It is just a quiet count that tells you whether there is anything to look at before you leave. Tapping Review opens that trip’s pre-trip checks.
Rows with nothing pending have no action button at all. An absence of a button is good news, not a missing feature.
For the full walk-through of those upcoming checks, see Pre-trip checklist.

​
Cancelled trips

If a plan falls through, you can cancel a trip rather than throw it away. There are two ways to do this. Open the trip from the list and choose Cancel trip, or use the prompt loadmate shows when a planned trip’s dates have already passed. Cancelling keeps the record. The trip moves into the collapsed Cancelled section, out of your active and upcoming lists, but still there in your history. That is different from deleting, which removes the trip entirely. The Cancelled section stays tucked away by default. A Show cancelled trips line lets you open it when you want to look. You can also bring cancelled trips back into view by choosing Cancelled from the status filter, or by searching. An old plan is never truly lost. It is just out of the way.
Cancelling a trip is a Pro action, and you cannot cancel a demo trip — demo data is read-only. If you are on the free tier, the upgrade sheet appears before anything changes.

​
Your travel scorecard

Once a single rig has five or more completed trips, a Stats chip appears in the filter row. Tap it to open a scorecard inside the list. It sums up your travels with the rig you have selected in the rig filter, and shows five numbers:

Trips

How many trips you have completed.

Travelled

The total distance you have recorded, in your region’s units (kilometres or miles).

On the road

The total number of days you have spent travelling.

Places visited

How many different destinations you have been to.

Longest

Your single longest trip, by distance.
The scorecard follows the same time-range chip as the list. Switch from Last 12 months to All time, and the numbers change from a single year to your whole travel history. You can collapse the scorecard back down to a one-line summary whenever you want the full list back.
The five-trip threshold counts the trips for the rig you have selected in the rig filter, not your whole account. Each rig earns its own scorecard once it has five completed trips behind it.
The Stats chip is the button that opens the scorecard. Trips is the first number inside it (how many you have completed). They sound similar, but they are different things.This scorecard is a quiet summary of your own travel, shown inside the list. It is not a year-in-review, not a shareable card, and not an export. To share a finished trip, you do that from the trip itself. See Share your trip summary.

What is free and what needs Pro

Browsing the list, scrolling the sections, searching, the status, rig, and time-range filters, and your travel scorecard are all free. Cancelling a trip is a Pro action. You can cancel from a trip you open here, or from the prompt that appears when a planned trip’s dates have passed. Demo trips are read-only.
Try it now: Open the Trips tab and tap the time-range chip. Switch it to All time. The list expands to show every trip you have recorded. If a rig has five or more trips behind it, tap Stats to see how far you have travelled.
