Truckers StArting A Fleet

from TalkCDL Trucking Podcast

Truckers starting a fleet. Many trucking companies have started with on truck. We call them "one truck chuck". But many of these owner operators have figured out a way to go from a one truck operation to a mega carrier in the industry. CDLLife did a story on Erb Transport. A company that was founded in 1959 with a single dump truck. Erb Transport has grown from one truck operation to a a company that now employs over 1500 employees. This is the result of what can happen if you keep moving forward and work hard. Many companies such as Erb Transport started this same way and building their company one truck at a time. Troy and Ruthann talked about how any one that is determined can do the same thing. They spoke how many drivers will not take the chance because they do not understand how ut all works. Truckers starting a fleet Troy encouraged his listeners to just keep moving forward and let the hands on of the every day operations be your teacher. He also encouraged drivers to get their own DOT number and start hunting for customers by knocking on doors. This is how it is done Troy explained. Youncall shippers that are in your lane near your home domicile and you dont take "no" for an answer. He said it may take 1001 times calling till someone along with timing can crate an opportunity for you to get what he called "lead haul" freight. from there you work on backhauls to get you back to where your freight originates. You might not understand everything in one day but as you go you learn and you are that much farther ahead than the guy that says " I will start tomorrow since tomorrow never comes. Believe in yourself, Troy said and just move forward. You may trip a little but normally you will also trip forward and closer to the goal. https://cdllife.com/2020/hundreds-of-truckers-convoy-to-say-goodbye-to-company-founder-suffering-from-cancer/https://www.wexinc.com/insights/blog/efs-fleet/quick-guide-starting-fleet-company/http://talkcdl.com/s2e27-truckers-face-off-with-protesters/http://talkcdl.com/s2e22-trucking-company-makes-a-mistake-watch-what-you-say-on-facebook/http://talkcdl.com/brokers-trucking-and-more/http://talkcdl.com/d-o-t-gives-advice-to-truckers-d-o-t/http://talkcdl.com/stories-from-the-road-2-wrecks/ JJ Keller and Associates can help Truckers Starting a Fleet Truckers Starting a Fleet. https://www.jjkeller.com/home can help drivers get their start with being compliant to all the rules.
