Adding Carrier to Brokerage? Pro's and Cons please.

It would go off the new carrier mc.

I went in the opposite order but I would say it’s 10 times harder to go from broker to carrier then carrier to broker.

One good advantage is if you have enough freight to keep your trucks busy. You’ll still have to learn how to run a trucking company though and deal with drivers. It’s no walk in the park.

However, certainly not impossible so if you are well funded start small with just a couple trucks an do that for sixth months and reassess. If all looks good add a couple more and try that for 6 months. I would not recommend starting with 5 to 10 or you could bring down both businesses potentially depending on how big your brokerage is.
