King & Lea Star line Transport | Application Preview
King & Lea Star Line Transport is applying for government grants to purchase a new tractor trailer, which is essential for the business's growth and its role as a significant contributor to the local economy. The company has a five-year plan to transition to a fully electric fleet, which aims to lower carbon emissions. Additionally, it plans to expand into a brokerage and dispatch firm and establish a commercial drivers training academy, creating more job opportunities and boosting local income.

In the next 5 years I plan growing my fleet of commercial vehicles into a fully electric fleet to reduce carbon emissions, expanding my company into a brokerage and dispatch firm. I also will have a commercial drivers training academy which enable a growth in jobs and income in our community. Funding administrators, grant writers should invest in me because I not only want to grown my business to fortune 500 business.

Self Identified Competition
I am not yet big enough to have competition, but I believe that KLLM, Total Transport, and JB Hunt would be my to competitors in the surrounding Jackson areas. My business is different because, I not only want to have a lucrative company, but I care deeply for those whom I would employ and their families too. I believe that people and how humanity is treated is of great importance to me, far beyond the gain of monetary and material items.
