Trucking Regulations: Does anyone use Axon software, specifically with Peoplenet ELD?

[husker1234]

I'm looking into a dispatch program that integrates with peoplenet and see Axon listed as one. Anyone know costs?

 

[mndriver]

any time I have looked at those "packages", they are like $30,000 on the LOW end.

What? for everything? eld and software?

And yes, I even tried ITS Dispatch for about 4 months. It was a cloud version of an Access database that I created so I stopped using it. They were getting me for $150 per month for it. Wasn't worth it in my mind. But then again, I have more apps I have created into MS office that most people are often searching for.

call them and ask them. You'd be surprised at how much they want to get you for this stuff.

but ITS doesnt have an accounting program which is why I was looking at Axon. What about Truckwin, know anything about them? That has accounting but not sure about the eld.

Id take it from @mndriver he is a TRUE "independant" operator who knows his Fuel economy down to 3/10s of an MPG..

And I dont say that to be "insulting" either...

I mean he knows his "Ya Know What" and seriously

He "@mndriver" actually Knows his "$hit" and ya can take that to the bank too @husker1234 ...

ITS dispatch also connects into QuickBooks if you care to work that route.


I went looking for this stuff only so far. Depending on how big you are, defines kind of what's available to and for you. As you get bigger, 20+ trucks, where you need the power to handle the databases for a trucking company, they aren't cheap. You will be hiring someone just to manage that software and the network requirements.


For the little guys with less than 10 trucks, I haven't found much I like or enjoy working with.....

But there's a reason for that too.

I'd be that guy who is hired to run the data base for a trucking company. I've got the skills to program my own database and spreadsheets for what I want.


Not what others want to package for me.
