Case Study: PX Transportation (dba Star Bulk) doubles fleet size while adding only two staff with Axon Software

Doubled the Size of Our Fleet With Axon Software

PX Transportation (doing business as Star Bulk) is a Texas-based dry-bulk tanker carrier operating roughly 55–65 trucks and planning rapid expansion. Facing the need to scale without ballooning office headcount and having outgrown QuickBooks, PX Transportation engaged AXON SOFTWARE to provide an integrated fleet and accounting system to handle order entry, payroll, settlements and reporting.

AXON SOFTWARE’s real‑time, fully integrated system automated fuel data downloads, billing, payroll and financial reporting, letting PX Transportation double its fleet in under a year while adding just two office staff. The result: tangible labor cost savings (avoiding an estimated five additional hires at $30–40K each plus benefits), quarterly fuel-mileage reports completed in about an hour, timely bank-ready financials, and a projected expansion to 100+ trucks without further office hires thanks to AXON SOFTWARE.
