(Book)

Includes bibliographic references (pages 363-371)

"This is the most comprehensive trucking startup guide on the market. Don't even bother with any of the other books (seriously)! Plenty of books out there tell you how to get your CDL so you can start trucking. But most of them stop there. They fail to explain the difference between what it takes to start trucking and what it takes to start a trucking business. It is no wonder that a high percentage of trucking businesses fail and go bankrupt in less than 5 years. This definitive guide will be your guiding light to trucking and roadmap to business. It provides the knowledge and tools to obtain the right CDL and operating authority, become fluent in trucking industry numbers and lingo, develop a clear business plan, make informed decisions on a legal business structure, establish an effective budget, and accomplish major goals. It details how to monitor important metrics, including cost per mile, IFTA, revenue, and more. It provides lessons on how to gain access to new business, find good partners and good freight, develop procedures compliant with regulation, and create business-branded documents and marketing media that garner attention while conveying professionalism, authenticity, and expertise. You will not find another book that is more detailed and backed with as many free trucking resources available for download. You're essentially getting 3 books in 1. You have questions, and this book has answers. This book is your definitive guide on how to start, drive, and accelerate your trucking business." -- Back cover.
