Question: do most of the drivers carry smartphones? (eg. iphone/android) Seems like they could just take a picture of the Odometer and have it geotagged (the GPS coordinate embedded in the image file). Then you know the mileage, time picture was taken, & location of each trip start/end from the GPS. Additionally, they could just take a picture of the fuel receipts and you would get similar information. You wouldn't need too much of a fancy app, just a place for them to send the photos (could be via text/sms/email/web form upload), and a tool that extracted out the data from the images, which is fairly easy for most developers. Get in touch if this sounds like it would work.
