Business Plan
I plan on adding another truck, maybe two in the next five years, hopefully with very dependable drivers. If I am awarded the funding I will put the money towards good equipment to grow my business. I don’t buy cheap trucks/ trailers. I prefer to buy dependable trucks/ trailers. When hiring drivers I can’t just hire anybody. I want drivers that will take care of the truck as if it were their own and they are willing to work.

Self Identified Competition
Transportation is my trade and I work hard for my living. If the load is paying I get it and go, regardless of the weather, and if I miss a family gathering. Therefore since I want to grow my business, I have to sacrifice time to put effort towards my livelihood and I have a huge passion for what I do. Transportation is very stressful from breakdowns to shippers/receivers having you sit and wait, then you’re missing out on other loads that are paying a good rate. The more you sit, the more lost revenue. You always have to have a set goal on your revenue for the week. If you suffer a setback this week in revenue then you have to reset your goal and work harder the following week, especially hauling refer and doing flatbed. Flatbed trucking can be a daunting task on windy, cold, snowy, rainy days especially throwing straps and having to tarp the load. But I have a passion for what I do and my passion keeps me going to make the money to take care of my truck and my family.
