Start your own when you’re comfortable with what you know. Could be 3-5 years, could be more. You start when you’re confident.

Loaded question. I think in order to make money on anything, you need to be knowledgeable about it. So if you know it like I do, I’d start my own. If you don’t know anything about it, I’d stay away. One of my first bosses said to me, “Know how to make a small fortune in trucking? Start with a large one.” If you don’t take the time to learn it all, you can lose that money very quickly. I spent 12 years learning all aspects of the industry - not just a section. So I was well suited to start my own operation.

Ding ding ding. Main thing is to know what equipment to use, cost of everything involved - all the inner workings. You pay for the knowledge and experience. Takes ten minutes to clear a grand - but you spend 12 years learning all that.

I just kept moving up the chain every year or two. I’ve got a pretty good ability to adapt and figure things out. Best skill is problem solving. Things just kind of fell into place.

I’m all of that. I’m a salesman, quoter, broker, dispatcher, all of it. Imagine running a big company - you have employees that do each part. Well I’m the company. I do each part. I’ve just got it down to a T to where I can handle all of it.

Profit.

Less than 40.

No not necessarily. I have ACCESS to a giant fleet. I myself am a one man operation. No employees. I handle about 40 loads a week.

All owner operators. Access to a huge network of over 60,000. I do pick my freight. I turn down freight daily.

It’s great. There’s always a driver if the money is right.

1. Started working at 19. Grew each year or two a little higher, learning everything I could about warehousing, distribution and trucking. Managed several operations for 12 years, decided to start my own.

Nope. No money out of my pocket. Just started with a handful of customers and lanes and grew it over time.

Haha - nope.

Long story short - customers reach out to me to move their freight. I have a giant network of drivers. It’s really that simple. Just has taken off lately.

Dumb luck. Walking in a mall at 19, took a job at a candy store. It just escalated from there and turned into promotion after promotion to where I eventually learned the ins and outs of all aspects and started my own.

I do high margin freight generally. I don’t chase the low hanging fruit. So volume isn’t my bread and butter.

Yeah - been a good year.

Nope. Will always need a person.

Have access to about 60,000 trucks (several networks). Been managing fleets for 12 years, started my own agency 3 years ago.

Pretty spot on. I do a lot of oversized so the margins are good.
