So you started a business without a business plan? Brokers...

I feel for you, I really do. I'm just curious why you would start a business with no customers at a time when many are going bankrupt? Break out the phone book and start making some calls. I'm sure there are brokers that have loads in your area that nobody else wants. I guess you have to start someplace. Good luck.

 

Yea, like others have said. You buy trucks and no business plan.
Smooth move ex lax...
Start making sales calls, go knocking on peoples doors in the area. Then reach out at the points you want to service...

 

I would call FedEx and see if they still have their local delivery program going in Custom Critical. At one time they did only local or regional things to haul overflow from Freight, and Express. It isn't an easy program to find out about, nor get into. Also you could ask supply chain if there is any need for a van and box truck.

 

Try Amazon.

 

I will give you some ideas. Figure out what kind of customers you want to work for. Figure your rates and contracts up. You will have to sell your biz to customers. Do research and who you need to contact. go to the businesses and talk to them. try to get them in a contract. also maybe look at going to small biz type trade show and pass out cards. network. Look at how brokers get their work. you need to do the same kinda thing. you should have 20 new contacts every week to call. always looking for that next high paying customer. hit them streets! try load boards if you have to while you work on it. good luck.

 

I don't want to sound rude or condescending but how do you expect to run a successful business with no plan in place? You then come on to a forum and are asking people how to obtain customers. Seems there was a major lack of research and due diligence before you got yourself into this.
