Tip: When choosing the right equipment for your trucking company, first of all, you should determine the type of freight that you are going to be hauling. That is so because different types of freight will require different types of trailers and equipment.
On the other hand, there are people in the U.S. trucking industry that are choosing to incorporate a trucking company with leased equipment. But, have in mind that leasing equipment can be more complicated than buying trucks, trailers, and additional equipment.
To put it differently, load boards are extremely competitive, this is one more reason why you should get the best trucks, trailers, and equipment for your trucking company. On the negative side, load boards every now and then can provide only one-off loads, but I will discuss this later.
