“Prison
Break! How the Owners of One Oilfield Trucking Company
discovered the Secret to Growing their Business without
being Chained to their Desks 24-7”
Many
business owners are virtual prisoners to their businesses. The
Siegrists were one such couple, chained to their business, and
struggling to survive the avalanche of information that they needed
to deal with, just to keep up every day. Until they discovered the
secret that broke their chains and set them free. Jean Siegrist and
her husband James own and operate Conservative Trucking, an
oilfield hauler based out of Crosby, North Dakota. They started
their company in 2010 with one truck and grew rapidly. At the time
of this interview, they operate more than 40 trucks – a combination
of company-owned and owner operators – providing services to the oil
patch.
Jean spoke to us about their Axon Software experience.
What led you to start looking for trucking software to help
manage your company?
“There was so much going on and everything was moving so fast
that we knew we had to develop some kind of a structure. We were
just keeping track of everything on whiteboards. We knew we had to
move to an electronic system that was more mobile and where
everybody had access to what was going on.
“We had a couple of problems. We needed a system, and we also
figured that we were going to have to hire somebody because we were
way overwhelmed and scattered. We were planning to hire a consultant
to come in to review everything and help us decide on what kind of
software but my husband wanted to do some of his own legwork and
research first.
“Fortunately, we stumbled on Axon’s site and contacted them.
“Our Axon rep, Johnny, took us through an online demonstration. He
showed us that it was definitely geared towards what we were doing
and that it was going to be able to do more than we ever thought we
needed in a trucking software system.
“It took over jobs that we thought we might have to hire people for
– because we didn’t have a clue. We knew that we needed help, but we
had no idea how much a program could do – where it would actually
replace jobs.
“When we talked to our rep, he said, ‘Just give me the chance to
show you what this can do and, if you still feel that you need a
consultant to come in, then you can do it at that time.’
“And in all honesty, having the Axon Software representative do that
saved us thousands of dollars because I didn’t even need a
consultant to come into my office at all.” Read
