Case Study: Luckhart Transport achieves major cost savings and operational resilience with Axon Software

Axon Software Was Almost Like a Gift From Above

Luckhart Transport Ltd., a family-run cattle‑hauling business led by Doug Luckhart, lost $2.4M in sales overnight when the US–Canada border closed to live cattle in May 2003. To recover and automate manual processes previously handled on AccPac and paper, they turned to Axon and implemented Axon Real‑Time Trucking Software to tighten costs, improve dispatching, and replace outside accounting work.

Axon’s software and hands‑on support streamlined Luckhart’s back office, cutting outside accounting fees by $10,000 in the first year and saving roughly three hours per week per office employee, which reduced overtime and maintained staff levels. The solution made the company more adaptable (moving into turkeys and brokered freight), improved staff productivity and satisfaction, and—according to Luckhart—proved Axon’s responsive support and scalability for future growth.
