Griffon Logistics LLC | Application Preview
Griffon Logistics LLC is applying for government grants to alleviate rising business costs associated with fuel, vehicle maintenance, and other operational expenses. The funding will support the business in paying off equipment, allowing for expansion, job creation, and improving wages for new hires.
The business plan involves careful management of finances to address potential equipment breakdowns and ultimately investing in new vehicles. The owner is currently living in the semi-truck and working full-time to build the company, having eliminated personal debt and unnecessary expenses.
The application emphasizes the owner's qualifications, including military training, leadership awards, and multiple college degrees. The goal is to establish a trucking school that offers CDL training and guaranteed employment to graduates, addressing the job shortage and enhancing freight transport efficiency.
While the owner acknowledges competition exists among trucking companies for similar funding, they view their approach as advantageous. Griffon Logistics aims to differentiate itself by prioritizing fair pay for drivers and creating educational programs for aspiring trucking professionals. Ultimately, the owner’s passion for supporting others is a key component of their vision for the business.

Funding Usage
This money will be used to assist with my business expenses. With the increase of fuel, fuel taxes, tires, repairs etc., this will come in handy for my business to keep the wheels turning. With this aide, I will be that much closer to paying off my equipment. I'll be even closer to expanding my company and being able to hire people, earn contracts and helping others by creating more jobs for others to make a livable wage.

Business Plan
I plan on continuing to operate my business and saving as much money as possible. This will help with any potential breakdowns I may experience in the near future. Once my equipment is paid off, I will then look to purchase more equipment and hire the best candidates to transport freight across the country. I have already fully committed myself to this plan by eliminating debt, getting rid of subscriptions, and discontinuing bills. I am currently living in my semi truck, and I move freight full-time. There are no days off until I get where I want to be. Investors should invest in me because I have critical thinking skills with an ample amount of accolades to prove it. I have military training and gained military leadership training as well. I holds three colleges degrees as well as 4 leadership awards. I am working effortlessly to build my trucking company up myself and am making the sacrifices to make sure that I achieve my goal. I would like to get to the point where I can build a trucking school and offer CDL training with a guaranteed job with my trucking company upon completion of the training. It would help the economy with the job shortage crisis as well as assist with moving freight and goods across the country.

Self Identified Competition
In all honesty, I do not know who my top competitors are in regards to applying for this loan. I would assume other trucking companies. If other trucking companies are my competition, I will say that majority of trucking companies are greedy. Theres a revolving door in trucking because a lot of trucking companies are not paying their drivers well or even what they should be paying them. I am working to change that! I am going to make sure to always pay more drivers on-time and every time. I am also putting together another business plan for when I get to the level of training new drivers to get their CDL. That new business plan would consist of holding classes for our drivers to get more informed about the trucking industry. It will go into detail about being a business owner and helping them purchase their own truck and becoming a fleet owner. I am looking to bring my passion for helping people in the medical field to helping people in the trucking industry so they can provide for themselves as well as their families.
