How to Start and Operate a Successful Trucking Company
- 3.6
Brief Introduction
Everything You Need To Know to Get Started Building Your Own Fleet!Description
There has never been a better time to open and operate a trucking company than right now. Today due to many factors along with the availability of specialized information to you anywhere anytime thanks to the technology we all currently enjoy, you can learn lessons in hours, days and weeks that took others months, years and decades to learn and benefit from.
Trucking can offer you more than you may even imagine, especially as a successful fleet owner.
It is a business that can literally make you very wealthy in time - but ONLY IF you learn how to do it right and then actually go do it. This is not a get rich quick and easy without any effort while money magically fills your bank account kind of thing. It will take work, and plenty of it. It will take informed and intelligent decision making on a consistent basis. It will require from you dedication and patience along with a desire and ability to learn many new things and then go out and apply that knowledge.
To many failed trucking companies were started by drivers on a wing and a prayer and plenty of false assumptions. Many unfortunately believed that they would be successful fleet owners because they were successful drivers - some were even successful single truck owner operators.
They were sadly mistaken.
The skill sets and specialized knowledge requirements to successfully own, operate and grow a fleet are very much different. The scale is too - and mistakes are compounded. Seemingly little things have a way of quickly becoming a crisis - sometimes one that a rag tag company will not be able to survive. Such struggling companies will go under and inevitably soon be added to the the long and ever growing list of failed motor carriers.
Others do manage to survive. Sort of. They hump and bump along year after year operating ragged equipment and a ragged trucking operation overall - just barely good enough to keep from being shut down by DOT. Their internal operations and management are pitiful as are their key personnel who are neither the right people for the jobs they fill in some cases and not properly trained in others. Some suffer from both ailments.
Their drivers are poorly selected, inadequately trained, poorly paid and seldom if ever even recognized for their efforts. They have frequent customer service failures, accidents, incidents and all sorts of other problems. They also more frequently than not jump ship causing higher levels of churn than well performing carriers ever experience. The struggling carrier continuously suffers everything that goes along with it too.
A repeated cycle of more customer service failures, accidents, incidents, lost revenue and significantly more risk management issues of all kinds. The carrier of this type has high costs for everything and low profits so it always struggles to survive - in the same markets where efficient operators thrive.

Requirements
- Requirements
- Ideally I recommend you should have at least a year of experience as a professional truck driver before you actually start a trucking company. However anyone interested in doing so can take this course at any time and refer back to it as often as you wish.
- It is important to note that there are NO REQUIREMENTS that you have ANY truck driving experience at all nor that you yourself as a fleet owner even have a CDL so long as you don't intend to personally drive. Some successful fleet owners dont - however if you do have or get some experience as a driver first you have a much clearer picture of the whole business from all sides that is impossible to ever have otherwise. In the end though it is entirely up to you...
