funds for startup

Another one

 

I'll preface this by saying it sounds like a terrible idea, no experience and no money generally isn't how you start a business.

With that write a very thorough business plan including hard numbers on income and expenses and set up a meeting with a local business banker and run through your plan, explain exactly how much you need, why you need it and when it will be paid back. If you're a good enough salesman you just might walk away with a business line of credit. It's an incredibly long shot though, due to the failure rate in trucking not many banks will give you a chance without a history or collateral.

Only other option is same deal with a private hard money lender (a rich dude that invests in startups) but it's not much better odds and the loan terms will certainly be worse.

 

Why don't you just sub out/broker the loads. You claim you have loads, broker them out, just don't stiff anyone. They will come pay you surprised visit that won't be pleasant.

 

and hopefully no one stiffs him on those sub out/broker loads.

what could ensure such a policy?

it's business.

 

Not to mention from my experience the $30000 truck is gonna turn into a $45000 truck before your first year

 

could always try crowd funding

I know they're here yet I've haven't given any of them a go. thought about it tho

 

Try GoFundMe. I've seen some of the sorriest losers on the planet get people to give them money on there.....

 

Nobody is going to do that, outside of rich parents or relatives. You just need to save the money yourself.

 

It will never stop. One and done. The research button is not an option for some people.
