“Oilfield Haulers: Find Out What It Takes
to Grow 360% in less than 4 Years!”
GT’s Oilfield Hauling from
Clairmont, Alberta, currently operates approximately 50
trucks and 20 cranes servicing the oil patch.
Controller, Joanne Wilson, and Nancy Dreidger recently spoke
to us about their Axon experience.
Tell us about your
company.
Joanne: “We were established in 1998 with one hot-shot truck
and then, in 2005, Greg [Greg Toews, GT’s President]
expanded to a bigger oilfield truck and carried on from
there, with smaller picker trucks right up to the 45-ton
pickers.
“Now we are also in the
crane business so we have anywhere from a 40-ton crane to a
165-ton crane. We do some very big hauls. 90% of our work is
for the oil patch for companies like Encana, Talisman,
Devon, and Conoco.”

was the big thing behind this. Before we had no idea really.
Everything just went into general expense accounts.”
Tell us about the move
from Simply Accounting to Axon’s system.
Joanne: “There are so many new things in Axon. Simply is

that’s it.
“With Axon, we can do
whatever we want with the Balance Sheet and the Income
Statements. It’s easy to add and change accounts.
“So it was a transition.
There was so much more to learn than what there is in
Simply.
“But it’s all been good,
and the accountants are happy with it, and the managers and
the owners are happy with it, so….” (continued...
