To be an independent owner operator it is necessary to be a good driver – but to be a successful owner operator you will need much more than that.
You must master the essential things that are necessary to run an efficient trucking business – and that is where far too many fall so short. Their dreams fade quickly into nightmares that often end in complete failure. Then broken, disillusioned and financially broke – or worse – deeper in debt, they return to driving for someone else as a company driver. Not by choice but out of desperation to survive. That is tragic.
Instead I strongly suggest that you stack the odds in your favor instead of against you by learning what you need to know before you even get started!
This course will walk you through all the key things you need to know including a complete overview of the business of trucking and some of the many options that are available to you. You will also learn how to get access to additional information, resources and support that can help you build your own trucking business successfully.
We will cover the basics of how to choose your business entity type, company name, getting your authority, regulatory considerations, risk management, freight acquisition, planning, management, customer relationship building and additional revenue and profit considerations as you grow your business.
Trucking is a fascinating and complicated business. No single course, book or manual can ever provide you with every detail you need to know – and neither will this course. But it will give you a very good start in the right direction and the ability to continue your training and education as you build your business. You will know where and how to get the regulatory information that you need, and that frequently changes. You will also have a good basic understanding of the other key areas you need to understand in order to build your business the right way while avoiding the many common mistakes others repeatedly make.
Who this course is for:
- Truck drivers, potential truck driver, and other people interested in becoming successful independent owner operators.
