From Driver to Business Owner – A Roadmap Snapshot

Summary

Nutrition label

62% Informative

Many truckers who say, “I want to own my own trucking company” don’t get past the first year without wanting to quit, lose everything or go right back into the driver’s seat.

Being a driver and being a business owner are two entirely different games.

As a driver, your focus is: - On-time deliveries - Keeping the truck running - Logging hours - Fueling up and shutting down.

Your focus becomes: - Margins - Cash flow - Risk - Compliance - And eventually stepping back.

Don’t start your business without a 90-day operating plan.

Start building your company culture before you hire your first employee.

Buy the truck that fits the plan, not what you see on TikTok or what your cousin says is “a deal” Buy a sleeper cab because it’s “more versatile,” not more versatile”.
