If you're gonna get into this business thinking outside the box is key to being successful.. Dont be scared to get on the phone or go in person and work with customers directly especially if you're local. You will be saving them money cutting out the broker and putting money in your pocket avoiding a broker/dispatch service.. Also if you're delivering ask for a Logistics/Warehouse manager seeing if you can bid on some of their lanes, its an easier conversation while already there. I was a broker for 7 years and worked with all the big box stores all across the US, if you have questions just ask.

As somebody who is new to the owner-operator side of the trucking industry. I have some questions, when financing a box truck or even a semi truck, should I put 10-20k to get the truck financed? Or would it be more lucrative for me to put that 10-20k in an LLC account for collateral on business credit? Then use the business credit to get the truck?

Hello, I am a new subscriber! I just started my business but there is so many things I have to learn. I having issues with insurance because they say I need to have the vehicle already in order to get insurance. But I decided to go the rental route starting off before purchasing my first truck. The rental companies have commercial insurance. So is it necessary for me to obtain my own insurance even though the rental companies offer it?? Is it the same type of coverage and insurance??

Great information. Do you mentor or help others start up initially?
