Description


Learn What It Takes To Operate a Successful Trucking Business

When you see the trucks that belong to the largest and most successful trucking companies on the road today, those mega carriers didn't get where they are by accident. The same is true with the much smaller fleets that operate just a few trucks up to one hundred or more, all those who are successful and especially  the best of the best do some things in common. 

They effectively use management and control systems throughout all areas of their businesses.

The absolute power of systems is self evident if you take the time to look behind the scenes at every major business in every single industry in the country and the world, and I don't just mean trucking either.

From the world famous fast food franchises to the mighty Amazon itself, and all the transportation companies that haul in the raw materials and products and deliver the finished goods when needed directly to you - and every other truly successful company in between - those who are successful all do business in a certain way.

Whether large or small - they all share at least one thing in common - they use highly efficient SYSTEMS to run their businesses.

Likewise, when you look at  the companies that fail they also have common traits. Often they were ran by one or two people who tried to run everything by the seat of their pants - without any consistent methodology at all. That leads to all manner of inefficiencies. 

Such businesses are disorganized at best and experience varying levels of continuing crisis and chaos that eventually leads to business failure. Even before that, during the time the company is operating - it is an unpleasant and burdensom place for the owners and the employees alike.

Learn How to avoid replicating failing methods and build your business the right way instead.

Trucking is absolutely a business that can and does benefit massively when the right systems are in place.

In fact, most of those companies that have already failed - and those that will fail - can in large part can trace their failures back to inadequate or nonexistent management control systems. Of course, they won't always admit that, if they even realize it.

Instead they will blame the economy, the regulations, their competition along with anything and anyone other than the truth. The bitter truth is that the reason they failed is because they personally failed to lead their trucking business and manage their trucking business properly. 

You can learn from their mistakes and at the same time, you can learn even more by modeling the most successful companies in the world and setting up and using your own systems properly from day one. 

Accomplish more in weeks and months than others have in decades of struggle.

This course will share with you the key systems you need, and give you a detailed overview of how to get started putting your own highly efficient Management and Control Systems in place and how to start using them immediately.

Many of these things I personally learned from more than two decades (and still counting!) of real-world experience, and now you can get all that information and put your own systems in place in hours and days and begin getting serious results within weeks and months instead of having to take years or even decades of trial and error yourself to learn this stuff the hard way.

You can IMMEDIATELY benefit from all the hard lessons that have taken me many years to learn. That means you can do far better than otherwise possible, and you can do it almost instantly too.

If you use what you will learn in this course, it will help you immediately and drastically improve your trucking business in every area. It will help you achieve and maintain Trucking Business Success.

This Course is For Anyone Who Wants to Build A Trucking Business Successfully

Learn what it takes to get started in this Introductory Basic Course.

Then learn where and how to get all the additional resources, help and support you will need as you systematically start, build and grow your own trucking business from day one.

While trucking can be a very challenging and seemingly overwhelming business to get into, having the right information, training, tools, support and other resources can make it a lot simpler and easier - and far more profitable too. 

Make your decision - and if you decide that you are serious about building a successful trucking business of your own - then I will see you on the inside!

Not enough information. Just the basics. I already know this stuff. I need a step by step guide to grow my trucking business.

This is a very basic opinion piece on how to run a small business. This advice could be applied to a dry cleaner or convenience store or whatever. If you ever ran a business before this is a waste of time. I am not sure who the intended audience is. I was expecting some basic terms and acronyms of the trucking industry, like an overview of how it works. There were many words and acronyms used but non explained. Sorry but not as advertised.

I bought three of this trainer's courses with excitement considering the content. Upon going through the courses I discovered that none of the topics was treated in sufficient detail to help anyone starting out in trucking business for the first time. He was too generic in his teaching with no specifics. There's much more useful information out there in truckers forums and on the internet. These​ courses were a waste of my money.

This course has bone, but very little meat. The lectures are good topics and are what I want to know about but there is no in-depth discussions or example files. Policies and procedures is a great example of where there could be a boiler plate document, driver check list for hiring is another. This could be a great course if there was a deeper discussion on each lecture. Some lectures are 1 minute...really? One doesn't even work, #24 by the way. We come to Udemy to learn things, it's a trust thing, YouTube isn't were I'd place trust I come here with that. Good start now go deeper with this and give us something we can really use to get started.
