Big Rig Business Startup: How to Start, Run & Grow a Successful Trucking Company

Since my fiancé always talks about creating his own business, I've made it a point to look through several instructional books on how to start independent companies on all kinds of topics. From the basic crafting soap and candle companies, to beekeeping and farming, I came across this one particular book. At first I was more curious than anything, since trucking is a more quiet type of job- one that does not make a big deal out of itself, or draws much attention. When I started reading it, I found it difficult to put it down until the very last page was flipped over (virtually flipped over, that is). It is so focused, so informative, and it makes the process very doable, to say the least. It's not something one expects, but it actually sounds like an easily-attainable goal if all the steps are done properly. The only few details I found occasionally distracting were the typos that slid through in the final draft. But once one overlooks them and the bits of repetition, it is all good to go.

Get book to get familiar with starting a trucking business. It was an easy read! I read this book in about two hours. I was able to able to put together a list of things to research further because of the exposure I was provided. I also found the links he provided helpful. I still have a ton of research to do, but I have a list of things I need to work on which is what I needed.

I have been looking into the trucking business as we realized this is the backbone of the domestic freight business. More and more people are shopping online and that creates a demand for the shipping business. I strongly believe that the demand for the trucking business will grow even bigger in the near future. The author also acknowledges that growing demand, but what made me write this review is the clarity I noticed in this book. He spoke from experience and showed a clear path to starting a trucking business. I think it is a valuable tool for anyone looking to get into the trucking business.

Very educational

This book opens your eyes to the trucking industry a simple way. I appreciate reading this book. Great author !

I am not a trucker, but it is a lifestyle that has interested me since I was a young boy watching "Smokey and the Bandit" and "BJ and the Bear." Honestly, it is knowledge that I will likely never use, but I found the information interesting and the book easy to read. I'm sure that this information would be very useful for someone serious about the trucking industry.

I am very grateful for this book as it has given me the information I needed regarding the trucking industry. I had little knowledge of the industry as a whole and it has gotten me up to speed on how it works to an extent. Would recommend for basic knowledge and maybe a bit more.

This is a good book for someone who has no knowledge of the inner works of the trucking industry. I feel like it could have gotten a little more in-depth on certain parts, maybe in a 2nd addition.
