Trucking: How do I start trucking company?, cdl license, trucking company


Question
I am currently enrolling in the America's Driving force CDL program and plan to finish the program and start a trucking company. What are the key essentials I need in order to start this process? After I receive my CDL and purchase my truck what would I need to know or have in order to get business?

Answer
I would hope that after you get a CDL license, that you would seriously consider working as a company driver to gain some much needed experience. Trucking is a seriously demanding business, and one cannot expect to just get out of school and jump into the commanders seat without at least a little stick time under someone elses tutelage.
I would predict a low chance of success unless you get a couple of years under your belt.
Im sorry, but I would not reccomend the course you are looking at.
