You need a well-skilled team in order to create a successful trucking company. However, everything can be taught.
Having said this, if you have the budget to finance the training of the new truck drivers then go ahead.
Whichever it is, do not forget to communicate with them. More importantly, find out what motivates them and keep them at their highest level.
Give them challenging tasks and let them create extraordinary humans out of themselves. Thus, they can develop their skills on a higher level which is a huge contribution for you.
Respect them for their contribution. In like manner, reward them for their safety regulations and comply with:
- Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
- The Department of Labor (DOL)
- The Department of Transportation (DOT)
- National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
- Safety and Fitness Electronic Records System (SAFER)
- Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA)
Generally speaking, a successful trucking company is the one that knows how to prevent truck drivers from leaving the company.
Conclusion
Knowing all of this, do you still want to own a trucking company? Or, you have never been more certain about anything?
