Publisher's summary

Feeling like your trucking career is hitting a dead end? Here’s how you can level up....

Have you been working as a truck driver for years with nothing to show for it?

Are you tired of answering to someone else, working long hours, spending days away from home...and only getting a small share of the profits?

Do you want to have more control over your time, more flexibility and independence, as well as a bigger cut of the profits?

Becoming an owner-operator may be your ticket out of dissatisfaction and the key to finally feeling fulfilled at work.

By starting your own trucking business, you can finally take charge - not only of your career, but of your personal life, too.

You can set your own schedules, choose your own loads, and charge your own rates.

You can even choose to bring your partner or spouse along for the ride, no permission needed.

However, striking out on your own also means being responsible for more than just driving.

As an owner-operator, getting clients, paying the bills, maintaining your truck, and everything else, will all fall on you. Which is why it’s so important that, if you want to get your business started on the right foot, you don’t go into it blindly.

The good news is that preparing for this exciting new chapter of your life is easier than you think.

All you need is the expert advice included in this clear-cut and easy-to-understand guide.

In Trucking Business Guide for Beginners, you will discover:

  • The most important decision you will make in your trucking business that could spell the difference between success and failure
  • What to watch out for when leasing or financing your truck - and how to avoid losing money before you’ve even started
  • How to start your own owner-operator company - from choosing and registering your business to getting your authority to operate
  • How to save on your taxes by taking advantages of these legal tax deductions
  • Why you shouldn’t accept just any customer you can get - and what type of client you should be looking for

Insightful for an inspiring business owner!

This book really goes into details about truck business. I like how it was able to explain a variety of things that should be done, things that I should know about, and things that I immediately need to put into practice. The book really targets a niche audience but if you are really interested into going into this type of business, I would highly recommend this book as a reference.

I'm strangely hooked!

I'm a graduating college student whose major is far from business trucking, but I can't help but get hooked on this book. I can definitely see how the information presented in this book could be applied to my own life. Actually, I'm thinking of starting my own business which is far from my career track, and I think this book will be a great guide for my own journey!

The benefits are overwhelming

There is a huge difference between owning your own business and working for someone else. Trucking is no different. The benefits outlined here are enough to dazzle any budding trucker into the more entrepreneurial side of the business. This is an inspiring listen for those looking to claim their place in the industry. Excellent resource
