Officially One Year

Hey Guys,
Well today marks the Official 1 year mark when I created my business. I cannot believe how fast time went and how far I have come in that year. The beginning was a challenge, not knowing if I was going to be able to get enough loads to keep me going after all the initial money was invested. Most of you remember I started out with a single trailer and a Ram 1500 hauling one unit at a time, and for months and months I heard I would NOT succeed that way. It took 7 more months running that single car trailer and saving up every last nickle so I could upgrade to what I have now.
Honestly I owe quite a bit to the guys on here that didn't sugar coat anything and told me how it is not how I wanted it to be. Ya'll kept me in check gave me advice, pointed out the things I was doing wrong and most of all gave me support.
This year I have learned as an O/O that there is much much more to running the business than just getting a load driving it from point A to Point B. Way more. As a driver for a company I didn't have the worry about fuel cost, vehicle repair, license and registration fees and all the other legal and financial responsibility that comes with being the boss. I am now learning how much preparing my taxes for the accountant SUCKS but I guess every one of you went through it so now it's my turn.
So now that a year is up and I begin this New Year I hope all the people I met on here and have talked to extensively can and will still give me the encouragement and support to keep moving forward. I owe you all the biggest level of gratitude for showing me,guiding me, and most importantly keeping it real with me. Maybe I could of done this all on my own without your help, maybe I couldn't of, but I am sure glad I had the chance to not go this alone.
So thanks everyone for everything. Your comments,opinions, insight and critical constructive words are and always will be appreciated and taken respectfully. Have a Great rest of the weekend, be safe, use your head and above all come home to your family everytime.

 

I agree especially BOL scans. Thats why I enjoy running for United Road and Cars Arrive everything is on the app and there are no forms to fax scan or email

 

I believe if you put in the work and keep yourself honest to all your clients and others maintain professionalism you can succeed at anything. I hope to see your post a year from now with all the success possible for your future

 

It is tough holding your tounge sometimes when they try and claim you didnt complete paperwork correctly or giving a reason for a late payment
