Business Plan
We aim to expand our business by utilizing marketing strategies and participating in trade shows. Currently, we network with local businesses in our area and rely on word-of-mouth referrals. I have worked as a dispatcher for more than 20 years across various industries, always dedicated to serving others. My husband supports me in our family-owned business, both of us believing in the American dream where hard work yields success. Putting in 12-15 hours daily, I strive to establish our company's presence in the industry. Both of us have humble beginnings; my husband hails from Cuba and started working at 14, while I come from a background where my father is from Puerto Rico and my mother from Mississippi. We have consistently had to demonstrate our capabilities to excel in our roles.

Self Identified Competition
Since we are currently a small company, my three primary competitors are Vivoz Logistics, Deluxe Logistics, and AIG Logistics. What sets us apart from our competitors? We are self-taught individuals who began at the bottom and worked our way up. Coming from humble beginnings, we value each customer, providing exceptional customer support and service. We recognize that without customers, there is no business. To keep costs low, I operate from a small home office without any overhead expenses. When hiring my first employee, I aim to recruit someone with experience, whether they are a veteran of the industry or have served in the military.
