A Johnson Logistics | Application Preview
A Johnson Logistics is seeking government funding to establish and grow a logistics business focused on transporting goods nationwide using non-CDL box trucks. The funds will be used to acquire a 26-foot box truck, secure office and garage space, cover DOT medical expenses, and obtain necessary licenses to begin operations.
The business plan includes a focus on continuous over-the-road transport, hiring staff to expand the business, and providing training for drivers to obtain CDLs to operate semi-trailers. Additionally, the owner plans to offer dispatcher training to support hotshot truck services.
The motivation for the funding request is deeply personal. The owner experienced life-altering injuries from a shooting in 2020, leading to paralysis from the waist down. Once a role model and aspiring NFL player from a challenging Chicago neighborhood, the owner aims to inspire others facing hardship by demonstrating resilience and determination.
In terms of competition, the main rivals consist of other box truck drivers, larger companies with multiple semi-trailers, and hotshot truckers. A Johnson Logistics hopes to distinguish itself by committing to long periods on the road and ensuring timely delivery of goods, thus contributing positively to the economy.

Business Plan
I plan on transporting goods from state to state over the road nonstop using non cdl box trucks, hiring workers to help the business grow, take a cdl course so that I can train my drivers to drive semi trailers, provide dispatcher training and services to have hotshot trucks as well I was recently shot and paralyzed from the waist down in August of 2020, I was told I would never walk again and was lucky to be alive. I come from a rough neighborhood in Chicago I was once a role model to all the children that looked up to me during my high school football career and my journey to the NFL. I want to show those same kids and individuals like myself that no matter what obstacles life throw your way always keep pushing forward and striving for greatness.

Self Identified Competition
My top 3 competitors would have to be box truck drivers, the big companies with multiple semi truck trailers and hotshot truckers. They all are a part of the commercial transportation field and are all unique in their own way The difference with my business is that I’m willing to be on the road months at a time, get the loads to their destination at a timely matter and I’m willing to help the economy get goods in and out at i high rate
