Carrier - Trucking Company, Hot Shot Company, RV Transport Company or any company designed to transport freight domestically via ground transportation operating under their own authority.

In today's business world a carrier must have the ability to find and set-up their own accounts. In short, they must be able to do business directly with a shipper using a freight broker as a means for a back haul.

If you do not have your own accounts and you are having to obtain loads using other means such as trip lease, brokers, or load boards you could be losing as much as $500.00+ per week per truck! That's over $2,000.00 per month or over $24,000.00 per year....per truck!

Our services can assist your company in 2 very distinct areas;

1) Show you and your staff how to locate, negotiate, and set-up new accounts.

2) Provide your trucking company with an added source of revenue.

Although separate, the two can go hand-in-hand. If you are a trucking company
with your own accounts, are you brokering your excess freight? If not you should. Brokering your excess freight can add tens of thousands of dollars to your bottom line with minimal overhead. 

If you are a carrier that is new or has yet to find your own accounts, our packages are designed to not only show you how, but also add an additional source of revenue to your operation.

The Carrier Packages are indeed similar to our Freight Broker Packages except they are designed for you, the carrier. Where as a broker basically has nothing to negotiate with prior to setting up an account, a carrier has equipment. We show you how to merge the two for maximum profit potential.

Additionally we will delve into profit expansion for your trucking company and propose ways which can increase your bottom line while lowering overhead. A simple idea that many tucking company's fail to recognize due to their position of ownership.

All Packages begin with a Workshop for you and up to 2 staff members, regardless of experience level. This allows everyone to be on the same page. Any bad habits can be corrected and those with no experience are able to learn in a no-pressure environment. All of our Workshops are one-on-one...you, your staff and your consultant.
