Making the clients list would be hard work, however, it is the smartest thing to do in order to make your company profitable.
I once talked to a transportation industry veteran and he told me that the owners and owner-operators that use load boards earn $10,000 per month.
What is important to remember here is that not all transportation companies make the same profit.
For instance, the grocery stores generate $20,000 per truck on a monthly basis.
Considering it, that is double the money. To illustrate, you can find high paying loads in order to make your business profitable.
They Know Well Their Expenses
There are a lot of company owners who know only the basics of running a company. Once you decide to take this big step, you need to know what your biggest expenses are, same as the victorious transportation companies, and they are:
- Truck maintenance
- Repairs
- Trailer payment
- Fuel costs
- Truck Insurance
- Insurance expenses (health, dental etc.)
