Top 5 Questions for New Owners | Episode 1
Welcome to the first episode of the Haulin Assets podcast. I’m super excited to share this project with you and sincerely hope this podcast will make your journey starting a trucking company smoother and more successful. You’ll get to follow along with me as I go through the process and participate in my successes and challenges. Hopefully, you will learn from what I do right and from the mistakes I make along the way.
In this episode Craig and I will cover the 5 things you need to consider when starting a trucking company, and they are:
- Should you go it alone or with a partner?
- Where is the money going to come from?
- Can you get insurance and make the down payment?
- Do you have the right truck?
- Are you willing to do what it takes?
If you are thinking about starting your own company with a partner, check out our free Partnership Questionnaire to see if the two of you are on the same page. You can also give us a call at (866) 739-2032 and talk with a business coach today!
I hope this episode gives you some good things to think about and gets you excited about living the American Dream of owning your own business.
Good Luck!
