We started our company based on the idea of helping carriers find new and better freight. We will help your company get back into the sales focus you need. The most common mistake we see carriers make is to get a few good customers, and stop there. Those customers could fall off at any time. We see it every day. You need to continue to build your customer base on a daily basis. A carrier with any size should have a dedicated sales position, whether it be an employee, or an outside provider.
Carriers need to rely on business partners to get started. Lines of credit are needed when first starting out. You need operating loans, or a Business Line Of Credit. There are good companies out there that can assist trucking companies in getting thir dreams going. I recommend searching for the right bank that offers competitive rates on their loan products. Truck Financing is a big portion of these operating costs. Be very thorough in your search for the right Loan Company.
There are many lucrative types of Trucking out there today. Auto Hauling or Auto Transport is one that is one the rise. Hauling cars from the manufacture can be very rewarding rate wise. You can also get in on the booming Hot-Shot auto transporting.Buyers are needing cars hauled from auctions they participate in. Say for instance, a buyer wins a car in an online auction in Florida and he lives in Texas. He will need an auto transport company to move that vehicle for him. Auto Transporters get paid so well because they can move multiple auto's in one load. It is an industry to look into.
