AxleVault is bookkeeping built for the driver's seat — loads in, money out, receipts that read themselves, and compliance deadlines that never sneak up on you. Built for owner-operators and small fleets who run the business from the cab, not a back office. LOADS & REVENUE Log every haul with broker, route, miles, and pay. See gross, rate per mile, and who still owes you. EVERY DOLLAR OUT Fuel stops with IFTA state tagging, repairs with running totals, fixed costs, and everything else. Snap a receipt and the vendor, total, date, and gallons read themselves into your books. KNOW YOUR NUMBERS Revenue, expenses, net, and your real cost per mile — computed from your own records, not industry averages. Business analytics rank your brokers by who actually pays best, track deadhead, age your unpaid loads, and show where the money went. COMPLIANCE THAT REMINDS YOU CDL and medical card renewals, Form 2290, IFTA quarters, inspections, truck payments — reminders derive themselves from your records. TAX-SEASON EXPORTS Any period out to an Excel workbook, a one-page P&L PDF, or a zip of every receipt.
