    [FONT=&quot]Hello![/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]My name is Angel and I just joined the forum. I’m a newbie to truck transportation. I’m still trying to understand it all and our little company (just me and my partner) is still navigating through all the different ways to approach the industry. It’s a tough economy! I was wondering – for those of you involved in the industry (especially veterans) business owner or not, what are some of services, tools, strategies, or latest resources you find helpful or profitable in doing your work or - business? [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Online or offline, I’m sure there is quite a lot in both right?![/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Thanks and God bless![/FONT]

    What are you looking to do? You said you have a company? What is it? For the love of God most of us are over 30 and are going blind, could you please use a bigger font. Thanks.

    Welcome to the forum!

    They ARE everything trucking and can guide you in any area you want to know about in or with trucking from ANY insurance help, DOT questions, Truck loans, law advice and on and on! It's a paltry $45. a year BUT if you use a current members number you get a discount on the membership dues!

    And go to a bigger font! LOL

    Oh, so it's a courier company. Most couriers don't drive big rigs anyway. Actually I think the drive bicycles.

    Many courier companies use tractor trailers in a line haul fashion. They have multi locations in a given region and then line haul between them. At each location they break down the frieght and use smaller vehicles to distubute.
