Growing a small fleet.. Expanding.. How do you guys do it?

Hahaha solid point!

 

Running a strip club is way different than being a customer. Image having to put up with 25 #####y girls a night every week. But it does have its perks.

 

25 girls is 50 perks

 

49, depending on the neighborhood. ADA and all...

 

How to be successful in the trucking industry.
Have a lot of money to start out with, and pay your employee's better than the rest to keep them faithful to you.
And don't give away info on your best customer's to any one on an internet message board.

 

So you want to make a lot of money. You will go broke.

The key to becoming wealthy is to find something you love to do and do it better then anyone else. Money comes to those who love their work. Business owners work long hours. They work because they are driven to do the job. They put in extra effort because they enjoy the effort. Money is simply a way to keep score on how you are doing.

You mentioned strip clubs. A hooker who enjoys her work makes more money then someone who fakes it. That is true in trucking. Only get into trucking if you are inspired to be a trucker.

 

And, on a similar note, the only thing that will set you apart from your competition is the extras you provide...

 

I never realized what a ##### i was lol

 

Well here is the thing, I know I will get bashed for this but if you go into this to make a lot of money, you will fail quickly. There is some sort of mental problem with people when they can't control things like where the money goes but more importantly how to put the money aside for things like tires - an example.

However you have a lot to learn.

Let's get something out of the way first, that the driver's wages are not the thing to worry about, good drivers cost money and if you worry about profit against their wages, you won't make any profit after a while. The driver is the key to success, nothing else comes close to that top issue. Finding and keeping a driver is hard to do, you don't want to have just anyone clown driving that truck.

It is like a big puzzle, you have all these pieces you have to make fit together and many times you have to do something over. and over. and over until you get it right.

Focus on learning what it means to be a driver and then worry about getting your own truck, but save a crap load of money.

 

The way to make a Million Dollars in trucking is to start with 10 Million Dollars.... lol
