Built for the people actually doing the driving.
MileShield exists because the existing mileage trackers were built for sales reps and freelancers — not for drivers running 10-hour shifts across three apps.
Every year, millions of gig drivers leave thousands of dollars on the table. Not because they don't qualify for the deductions — they do. But because the tools they're given to track miles drain their batteries, miss trips, and require constant manual cleanup.
The existing apps were not built for this work. MileIQ was designed for outside sales reps with three client meetings a day. Everlance is positioned for freelance designers with a credit card to sync. Stride monetizes through insurance referrals. None of them were built for the driver running DoorDash, Uber, and Instacart in the same shift, dealing with deadhead between fares, and trying to make Schedule C math work in April.
MileShield was designed from a different starting point: the way a driver actually works. A continuous shift that begins when they leave home. Multi-app earnings entered in seconds at the end of the night. Receipts captured on the spot, auto-tagged to the right Schedule C line. And a single Tax Shield number that shows in real dollars what the day was worth — after deductions.
Behind every design choice is a respect for what drivers are actually building: a real, taxable, deductible independent business. Most drivers don't think of themselves as small business owners. They should. The IRS already does.
MileShield is built by Zulu Technology LLC, a California limited liability company. We're a small team. We don't take advertising. We don't sell data. We charge $39.99 a year for the Pro tier, and we expect drivers to deduct that as a business expense on next year's Schedule C.
