The bad side is that this option will give you less control over your trucks and drivers, and drivers can sometimes cut deeply into your profits too!
Be Proactive in Finding Clients
As I said, the trucking business is highly competitive and demanding. It operates by constantly bidding on and fulfilling transportation accounts and contracts.
But, receiving contracts is difficult, especially if you are a start-up business, you most likely will not have the experience and the reputation required to receive large accounts.
If you are one of the new trucking company owners, the best way for you to build up a client base, will be to start small by utilizing local contracts and small business trade shows.
Later on, you will get to the “big fish” and grow your business with lending larger accounts and contracts.
But until then, work on eliminating or at least minimizing your competition!
