How to Write a Business Plan For a Trucking Company?

• January 3, 2023

Whether you’re looking to raise funding from private investors or to get a loan from a bank (like a SBA loan) for your trucking business, you will need to prepare a solid business plan.

In this article we go through, step-by-step, all the different sections you need in the business plan of your trucking business. Use this template to create a complete, clear and solid business plan that get you funded.

1. Executive Summary

The executive summary of a business plan gives a sneak peek of the information about your business plan to lenders and/or investors.

If the information you provide here is not concise, informative, and scannable, potential lenders and investors will lose interest.

Though the executive summary is the first and the most important section, it should normally be the last section you write because it will have the summary of different sections included in the entire plan.

Why do you need a business plan for a trucking business?

The purpose of a business plan is to secure funding through one of the following channels:

• Obtain bank financing or secure a loan from other lenders (such as a SBA loan )
• Obtain private investments from investment funds, angel investors, etc.
• Obtain a public or a private grant

How to write an executive summary for a trucking business?

Provide a precise and high-level summary of every section that you have included in the business plan of your trucking business. The information and the data you include in this segment should grab the attention of potential investors and lenders immediately.

Also make sure that the executive summary doesn’t exceed 2 pages in total: it’s supposed to be a summary for investors and lenders who don’t have time to scroll through 40-50 pages, so keep it short and brief.

The executive summary usually consists of 5 major sub-sections:

• Business overview : start by introducing your trucking business, where it is located, the services it offers, and the pricing strategy you want to implement. Mention what sets you apart from other businesses. For instance, if you carry a specific type of freight or if you specialize in long-distance moves, make sure that you also mention that
• Market analysis : summarise the market where you will operate and provide a brief about your target market and narrow down the data to your niche market such as flatbeds, refrigerated loads, tankers, etc. Also give certain data points about the trucking industry in the area where you want to operate (size and growth), as well as an overview of the main competitors, etc.
• People : introduce your trucking business’ management and employee structure. Provide a brief (no more than a couple of sentences each) of the knowledge and experience of the team. Also, mention how the company will be structured (management roles and reporting lines)
• Financial plan: how much profit and revenue do you expect in the next 5 years? When will you reach the break-even point and start making profits? You can include here a chart with your key financials (revenue, gross profit, net profit )
• Funding ask : what loan/investment/grant are you seeking? How much do you need? How long will this last?

2. Trucking Business Overview

In this segment of the business plan, you will provide details about the trucking business.

You must answer here some important questions that potential investors and lenders often ask about your business and operations. Here are some examples of questions you must answer:

• What is the rationale behind your opening a trucking business today?
• What’s the trucking business’ location and why did you select that location?
• What will be your area of operation?
• Will you specialize in a specific type of logistics arm, cargo type, or a particular region?
• How many trucks do you intend to buy or lease?
• What will be your pricing strategy and why?
• What will be the legal structure of your company?

a) History of the Project

Any business overview must start with explaining the history of the project. There are 2 components here:

• Passion & experience of the business owner
• Rationale behind starting a trucking business today

Passion & experience

You may or may not have prior experience. If you have experience, speak about it and how it will help you to run your business. For instance, you may have been a dispatcher for a leading trucking business for 5 years, and you have the complete experience of taking orders, sending shipments, and monitoring routes. Now you want to start your own trucking business and use your knowledge to run it more efficiently.

Is there a certain problem (or perhaps, a set of problems) that your trucking business will try to solve when it comes into existence? For example, there may not be any competitive trucking service offering refrigerated trucks or reefer trucks to move perishable goods and your business will fill that gap.

But that’s not all: the market must be suitable for a business to exist and thrive. For instance, if you are trying to open your reefer truck business in an area where shippers usually ship cargo that is neither susceptible to weather nor do they require temperature-controlled transport, you will most likely run into losses. 

Similarly, if the shippers in your area require LTL (less than truckload or partial truckload) shipping, but you specialize in FTL truckload, there may not be enough demand for your services.The rationale behind your project must be backed up by a thorough analysis of the industry in the area where you plan to open your trucking business. This is what we will cover under Market Overview further below.

b) Business Model

This section of the Business Overview should explain your business model. For example:

• Will you buy new trucks or lease trucks for your business?
• If you want to own your fleet instead of hiring subcontractors, where will be your warehouse located?
• Will the warehouse be located at an optimal distance from shippers?
• What type of cargo will you carry?
• Will you offer long distance or short distance move?

What are the different types of trucking companies and services?

There are various types of trucking services that you can select. Some of them include:

• LTL : LTL stands for Less Than Truckload (aka partial truckload). It is a type where a shipper’s cargo will not fill your entire truck. Usually, you will carry cargo from different shippers and each shipper will pay for the space they are using. In this form, shippers do not have enough control over the shipping time and route.
• FTL : FTL stands for Full Truckload. This is the type where a shipper’s cargo will fill your entire truck. The shipper will pay for the entire truck trailer and your truck will follow a specific route and deliver within a specified time.
• Refrigerated Trucks : These are also known as reefer trucks and they are usually used for moving perishable goods such as meat, poultry, fish, etc. You may even move medical or chemical cargo that will require specific temperature and humidity during transport. Simply put, the trucks will have the technology to control temperature and humidity. There will be special monitoring and tracking features, too. Plus, you can operate in both LTL and FTL modes.
• Flatbed Trucking Service : Flatbed trucks are meant for easy loading and unloading of cargo. They are perfect for transporting cargo that is already packaged into vehicles, shipping containers, or material, keeping the cargo protected from the weather. Usually, building supplies and machinery are transported with this service.
• Expedited Trucking Service : You will deliver cargo from point A to point B anytime, anywhere in a hurry. This service is also known as Straight Truck Delivery, and it is best for transporting cargo that is too fragile or too large for air freight, but it still needs to reach its destination quickly.
• Intermodal Freight Shipping : It is a type of service where multiple transport modes are involved. However, a trucking service usually covers the last part. For instance, a shipping container can reach Nebraska from New York via rail, but a trucking service will be required to move it to Norfolk, Nebraska.
• White Glove Service : This is the type of service where you will be responsible for packaging cargo, shipping to a specified location, and unloading and unpacking the cargo. Essentially, you will provide a complete end-to-end solution.

c) Services

The business model you select will define your services. However, you still need to categorically mention all the services you want to offer. If you want to specialize in a specific type of cargo, make sure that you mention that. 

For example, you may specialize in transporting hazardous biochemical material in a temperature-controlled environment with a time-bound delivery schedule. Explain your expertise and experience.

d) Pricing Strategy

This is where you will provide an overview of your pricing strategy. For instance, you may provide trucking services at a lower cost than your competitors because you hire subcontractors, thereby reducing the overhead cost of fleet maintenance.

You may also provide a lower pricing range because of route optimization leading to maximum profitability.

On the other hand, you may charge more than your competitors because of many reasons such as advanced security, guaranteed delivery, hi-tech trucks for cargo safety, and more.

Of course, the pricing strategy will heavily depend on various factors that include (but are not limited to):

• Quick & timely delivery
• Delivery location (geography)
• LTL or FTL model, etc.

Pricing table

While it may not be possible to provide a proper pricing table for all cargo types that you may haul, it is still a great idea to provide a table that gives an overview of your pricing structure.

Here is a sample table that you can refer to and build on that:

However, don’t go into extreme details because potential investors are not interested in the nitty-gritty of your pricing. They just need the big picture to assess the profitability, because they will tie your pricing strategy with financial projections later on.

e) Company Legal Structure

Finally, your business overview section should specify what type of business structure you want. Is this a corporation or a partnership (LLC)? Who are the investors? How much equity percentage do they own? Is there a Board of Directors? If so, whom? Do they have experience in the industry?

3. Trucking Business Market Overview

A complete understanding of the market where you want to operate is important for the success of your business. That’s also something you must showcase in your business plan.

For example, if the customer segment is PC manufacturers, semiconductor manufacturers, and wholesalers of non-perishable products, offering refrigerated or reefer trucks is probably not a good idea. You will be better off with a flatbed trucking service.

Therefore, you must cover here 3 important areas:

• Market trends : how big is the trucking industry in your area? What is its growth rate (or decline rate) and what are the factors contributing to its growth or decline?
• Competition overview : how many competitors are there? How do they compare vs. your business? How can you differentiate yourself from them?
• Customer analysis : who is your target audience? What type of cargo do they usually ship? Do they require quick and timely deliveries? Do they need long-haul deliveries? How frequently do they ship and is there a steady demand?

a) Trucking Industry Status Quo

How big is the trucking industry in the us.

According to Statista , the trucking industry in the US is responsible for moving most of the overland freight in the country. In 2020, the industry was worth $732.3 billion..!

The industry has declined significantly from its peak in 2018 at $797 billion, due to the pandemic. Yet, it already shows signs of recovery in 2021 and 2022.

There are around 3.5 million truck drivers in the United States, of which 1 in 9 are independent and most are owner-operators. 

Considering that trucking dominates the freight industry in the US and there is a shortage of drivers overall, the trucking industry remains a profitable industry nowadays.

How big is the trucking industry in your area?

After getting a clear picture of the trucking industry in the US as a whole, narrow down to your location. It’s very likely that you won’t find the number anywhere (at least not for free).

In that case, you can use our guide to estimate the TAM, SAM, and SOM for your business. Here is an example of how to do it:

We know there are around 1.2 million trucking companies in the US in 2021. Together we know they generate a total annual turnover of $732 billion, so the average annual turnover generated per company is around $610,000.

Therefore, if the area where you want to open your trucking business has 1,000 trucking companies (for example, a large city), you can safely assume that the trucking industry in your area is worth approximately $610 million.

b) Trucking Industry Competition Overview

Studying your competitors’ business models is vital. You need to understand what makes them successful or why they fail. A clear understanding of their business model, the services they provide, their marketing strategies, etc., will allow you to provide a better service.

If your competitors are offering nearly the same services, then what is their market share and how do they market their products & services to attract new customers?

It is always a good idea to do some research (if necessary, you may consider physically visit your competitors without revealing your business intentions) and create a comparative table summarizing their service offerings, marketing strategies, target audience, etc.

Here is a sample table that you can use:

Trucking Business SWOT Analysis

SWOT stands for Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threats. This analysis will help lenders and investors better understand how you compare vs. competitors as well as the overall risk and reward profile of your business.

Here is a sample that you can use as a reference:

• Strengths : 12 years of truck driving experience, 5 years of dispatcher experience with expertise in route optimization for increased profitability, personal connection with reliable brokers, experience in handling hazardous biochemical transport
• Weaknesses : Startup cost, no initial brand reputation
• Opportunities : Research facilities of various pharmaceutical companies in a 50-mile radius, a booming food industry because of the steadily increasing residential population
• Threats : Established players like Schneider National Carriers, J.B. Hunt Transport, etc., are entering the market with a big fleet, and new smaller players (both private and for-hire carriers) are emerging

c) Customer Analysis

This is the sub-section where you will provide a detailed analysis of your target audience.

Some important points that you must include in your customer analysis include:

• What types of companies and businesses are looking for trucking services?
• What type of trucking services are in demand?
• How do they hire trucking businesses (referrals, cold calls, in-person presentations)?
• What do they want to be improved in the current trucking business scenario so that their needs are met in a better way?

You can add as many data points as required to validate your business decision. The idea here is to display your deep understanding of the target audience and their needs, preferences, and expectations. This knowledge can help you to tailor your products & services to attract new customers.

4. Sales & Marketing Strategy

This is the section where you outline your customer acquisition strategy. Try to answer the following questions:

What is your Unique Selling Proposition (USP)?

• What are the different marketing strategies you will use?
• How do you intend to track the success of your marketing strategy ?
• What is your CAC or customer acquisition cost?
• What is your marketing budget?

What marketing channels do trucking businesses use?

A few marketing channels that trucking businesses typically use are:

• Direct visits by sales representatives
• Cold calls & emails
• Billboards & signages

Trucking businesses still rely heavily on direct sales (Sales reps who sign contracts with shippers) and intermediaries: the brokers.

Whether you opt for these standard channels, you must have a fair and nearly accurate estimate of your sales & marketing budget.

For example, whilst direct sales will come up as salaries and commission to your own sales representatives, using brokers will cost you a fee (usually 15%) for each contract. For more information on how much it costs to run a trucking business, read our article here .

In other words, how do you differentiate yourself vs. competitors? This is very important as you might need to win customers from competitors.

A few examples of USPs are:

• Service quality : we offer GPS-based automated route optimization for the fastest delivery for time-sensitive and perishable products in a highly controlled environment optimized for different cargo types
• White Glove : we offer white glove full-service hauling for fragile and hazardous cargo with hi-tech trucks
• Location : we deliver cargo in hard-to-reach locations, thanks to our highly experienced drivers with stellar safety records who can drive through perilous routes

Your USP will depend on your business model, competitor analysis , and target audience. Whatever your USP be, it should be clear and appeal to your target audience.

5. Management & People

You must address two things here:

• The management team and their experience
• The organizational structure : different team members and who reports to whom?

Small businesses often fail because of managerial weaknesses. Thus, having a strong management team is vital. Highlight the experience and education of senior managers that you intend to hire to oversee your trucking business.

Describe their duties, responsibilities, and roles. Also, highlight their previous experience and explain how they succeeded in their previous roles.

It is also important that you explain how their experiences and qualifications help you in implementing the trucking business you are proposing. If they have specialized training and experience (such as years of experience in customer database management, customer service, dispatch & route optimization, etc.), add that information.

Organization Structure

Even if you haven’t already hired a general manager, safety manager, in-house technician, accountant, sales representative, client management representative, dispatcher, and other relevant staff members, you must provide a flowchart of the organizational structure defining hierarchy and reporting lines.

6. Financial Plan

The financial plan is perhaps, with the executive summary, the most important section of any business plan for a freight or trucking company.

Indeed, a solid financial plan tells lenders that your business is viable and can repay the loan you need from them. If you’re looking to raise equity from private investors, a solid financial plan will prove them your trucking business is an attractive investment.

There should be 2 sections to your financial plan section:

• The startup costs of your project (if you plan to start a new trucking business, purchase new trucks, etc.)
• The 5-year financial projections of your trucking company

a) Startup Costs

Before we expand on 5-year financial projections in the following section, it’s always best practice to start with listing the startup costs of your project. For a trucking business, startup costs are all the expenses you incur before you start transporting goods for your customers. These expenses typically are:

• The acquisition of the fleet (the trucks)
• The office & warehouse lease deposit (if you rent) or real estate price (if you buy)
• Office equipment
• Business insurance, etc.

Of course, the startup costs depend on a number of factors, like the number of trucks you operate, whether you own the trucks (if you operate as an owner-operator) or simply subcontract with the drivers who own their trucks, etc.

For example, it costs on average $208,000 to $343,000 to start a small trucking company with 9 trucks (assuming you take on additional debt to buy the trucks).

Note that these costs are for illustrative purposes and may not be fully relevant for your business. For more information on how much it costs to open and run a trucking business, read our article here .

b) Financial Projections

In addition to startup costs, you will also need to build a solid 5-year financial model in the business plan of your trucking company.

Note that your financial projections should be built using a spreadsheet (e.g. Excel or Google Sheets) and presented in the form of tables and charts in your business plan.

As usual, keep it concise here and save details (for example detailed financial statements, financial metrics, key assumptions used for the projections) for the appendix instead.

Your financial projections should answer at least the following questions:

• How much revenue do you expect to generate over the next 5 years?
• When do you expect to break even?
• How much cash will you burn until you get there?
• What’s the impact of a change in pricing (say 15%) on your margins?
• What is your average customer acquisition cost?

You should include here your 3 financial statements (income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement). This means you must forecast:

• The number of miles ;
• The deadhead rate ;
• Your expected revenue ;
• Operating costs to run the business ;
• The cost to acquire the trucks.

When projecting your financials, make sure to sensitize sales volume (miles), pricing, deadhead rate as well as the expenses (fuel, tolls, salaries, etc.). Indeed, a small change in these assumptions may have a significant impact on your revenues, and most importantly, profits.

7. Use of Funds

This is the last section of the business plan of your freight and trucking company. Now that we have explained what your business model is, what type of freight you transport, how you get customers, etc., this section must now answer the following questions:

• How much funding do you need?
• What financial instrument(s) do you need: is this equity or debt, or even a free-money public grant?
• How long will this funding last?
• Where else does the money come from? If you apply for a SBA loan for example, where does the other part of the investment come from (your own capital, private investors?)

If you raise debt:

• What percentage of the total funding the loan represents?
• What is the corresponding Debt Service Coverage Ratio ?

If you raise equity

• What percentage ownership are you selling as part of this funding round?
• What is the corresponding valuation of your business?

Use of Funds

Any business plan for a trucking business should include a clear use of funds section. This is where you explain how the money will be spent.

Will you spend most of the loan / investment in paying your employees’ salaries and the COGS (fuel, tolls, maintenance)? Or will it cover mostly the cost for leasing or purchasing the trucks?

For the use of funds, we also recommend using a pie chart like the one we have in our financial model template where we outline the main expenses categories as shown below.

• Tip 2: Focus on differentiation:

Monitor industry trends: Stay up to date with the latest trends and innovations in the truck transport industry. By staying informed about emerging technologies, changing regulations, and new industry entrants, you can better anticipate market shifts and adjust your business strategy accordingly.

Determine The Costs Involved

When starting a truck transport business, it's crucial to have a clear understanding of the costs involved. By accurately determining your expenses, you can create a realistic budget and better plan for financial success. Here are some important factors to consider when determining the costs involved in your truck transport business:

• Vehicle Costs: One of the primary expenses in a truck transport business is the cost of the vehicles themselves. Whether you choose to purchase or lease trucks, you need to account for the initial investment or monthly payments. Additionally, consider ongoing expenses such as fuel, maintenance, insurance, and licensing fees.
• Employee Costs: While the brokerage model eliminates the need to employ drivers, you may still require staff for administrative tasks, customer service, sales, and managerial positions. Determine the salaries, benefits, and any training costs associated with hiring and retaining employees.
• Technology and Software: To efficiently manage your truck transport business, you'll need to invest in technology and software solutions. This includes transportation management systems, dispatch software, GPS tracking, and communication tools. Research and budget for the costs of implementing and maintaining these essential tools.
• Marketing and Advertising: In order to attract shippers and build a reputable brand, allocate a portion of your budget to marketing and advertising efforts. This can include online advertising, website development, social media campaigns, and attending industry events.
• Compliance and Licensing: Truck transport businesses must comply with various legal and regulatory requirements. Research the costs associated with obtaining licenses, permits, and insurance coverage specific to the industry. Additionally, consider expenses for complying with safety regulations and maintaining proper documentation.
• Miscellaneous Expenses: Remember to account for other miscellaneous expenses that may arise in running your business. These can include office rent, utilities, office supplies, professional services (such as legal or accounting), and even unexpected costs like repairs or unforeseen delays.
• Do thorough research on each cost category to ensure you have a comprehensive understanding of expenses specific to the truck transport industry.
• Consider both one-time and ongoing costs when determining your budget to avoid financial surprises down the road.
• Develop a contingency plan for unexpected expenses by setting aside a portion of your budget for emergencies.
• Regularly review and assess your costs to identify opportunities for cost-saving measures or necessary adjustments.

Evaluate Potential Revenue Streams

When starting a business in the truck transport industry, it is crucial to carefully evaluate potential revenue streams to ensure a profitable venture. Here are some key areas to consider:

• Brokerage Fees: As a middleman between shippers and carriers, your company can charge a percentage or a flat fee for each successful transaction facilitated. This is the primary source of revenue for businesses operating under the brokerage model.
• Volume Discounts: Consider offering volume discounts to shippers or carriers who regularly use your services. This can help incentivize repeat business and encourage long-term partnerships.
• Additional Services: Explore opportunities to offer value-added services such as freight forwarding, warehousing, or supply chain consulting. These services can diversify your revenue streams and provide additional sources of income.
• Advertising and Sponsorship: Seek partnerships with industry-related businesses or advertise on your platform to generate additional revenue. This could include advertising truck accessories, insurance providers, or collaborating with truck manufacturers.
• Research market rates and industry standards to determine competitive pricing for brokerage fees.
• Explore creative marketing strategies to attract shippers and carriers, such as loyalty programs or referral incentives.
• Continuously monitor and analyze revenue streams to identify areas for growth and potential opportunities for expansion.

By thoroughly evaluating potential revenue streams, you can develop a well-rounded business plan that takes into account various income sources. Remember to regularly reevaluate your revenue streams as the industry evolves and adjust your strategies accordingly to stay competitive and financially successful.

Research Legal And Regulatory Requirements

When starting a truck transport business, it is crucial to thoroughly research and understand the legal and regulatory requirements of the industry. By ensuring compliance with these regulations, you can avoid costly penalties and legal issues that may arise.

1. Licensing and permits: Familiarize yourself with the necessary licenses and permits required to operate a truck transport business. Depending on your location and the type of trucking operations you plan to undertake, you may need permits such as a Motor Carrier Authority (MC) number, Unified Carrier Registration (UCR), and Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) endorsement, among others.

2. Safety regulations: Safety is a top priority in the trucking industry, and there are strict regulations in place to ensure the well-being of both the drivers and the public. Research and comply with regulations pertaining to driver qualifications, hours of service, drug and alcohol testing, vehicle maintenance, and safety inspections.

3. Insurance coverage: Adequate insurance coverage is essential to protect your business from potential financial losses. Research the types of insurance required, such as liability insurance, cargo insurance, and workers' compensation insurance. Consult with an insurance professional to determine the appropriate coverage for your specific operations.

4. Employment regulations: If you plan to hire employees for administrative or operational roles, familiarize yourself with employment laws and regulations. These may include laws related to minimum wage, overtime pay, worker classification (employee or independent contractor), and workplace safety standards.

5. International transportation: If you foresee engaging in international transportation, additional regulations will apply. Research the requirements for crossing borders, customs documentation, import/export restrictions, and international trade agreements.

Tips for navigating legal and regulatory requirements:

• Consult with an attorney specialized in transportation law to ensure you have a comprehensive understanding of all legal obligations.
• Establish a system to track and monitor changes in regulations, as they may be subject to updates and amendments.
• Maintain accurate records and documentation to demonstrate compliance with various regulations.
• Join industry associations and networks to stay informed about industry-specific legal and regulatory updates.
• Consider hiring a compliance officer or seeking the assistance of a compliance consulting firm to ensure ongoing adherence to regulations.

Assess The Availability Of Truck Drivers And Transportation Staff

When starting a truck transportation business, it is crucial to assess the availability of truck drivers and transportation staff in the market. The success of your business will largely depend on your ability to hire and retain qualified and reliable personnel.

Here are some key considerations when assessing the availability of truck drivers and transportation staff:

• Research the local job market: Start by researching the job market in your area to understand the availability of truck drivers and transportation staff. Identify the demand for these roles and determine if there is a sufficient pool of qualified candidates.
• Build relationships with recruitment agencies: Establishing partnerships with recruitment agencies specialized in the transportation industry can be highly beneficial. These agencies can help you source and screen potential candidates, saving you time and effort.
• Offer competitive compensation and benefits: To attract and retain skilled employees, it is important to offer competitive compensation and benefits packages. Research industry standards and ensure that your offerings are on par or better than what your competitors are providing.
• Provide ongoing training and development: Investing in the training and development of your truck drivers and transportation staff is essential. Not only will this enhance their skills and knowledge, but it will also improve their job satisfaction and loyalty to your company.
• Attend industry events and job fairs to network with potential candidates.
• Consider offering incentives or bonuses for referrals to encourage your current employees to refer qualified individuals.
• Stay updated on industry trends and changes to ensure you are attracting and retaining top talent.

By assessing the availability of truck drivers and transportation staff, you can better understand the challenges and opportunities in the market. This knowledge will enable you to develop effective strategies for recruiting and retaining the right people, ultimately contributing to the success of your truck transportation business.

Calculate The Logistics And Operational Considerations

When starting a truck transport business, it is crucial to calculate the logistics and operational considerations to ensure smooth and efficient operations. This step involves analyzing various aspects of your business, such as:

• Route Planning: Determine the most efficient routes for your trucks to minimize fuel costs and delivery time. Consider factors such as traffic congestion, tolls, and road conditions to optimize your routes. Utilize GPS and route planning software to streamline this process and ensure accurate directions.
• Truck Maintenance: Establish a regular maintenance schedule to keep your trucks in optimal condition. Regular inspections, servicing, and repairs are essential to prevent breakdowns and costly delays. Develop relationships with reputable mechanics and vendors to promptly address any issues that may arise.
• Loading and Unloading: Efficient loading and unloading processes are crucial for maximizing productivity. Determine the most effective techniques and equipment for loading and unloading cargo safely and quickly. Consider investing in loading dock equipment, such as forklifts or pallet jacks, to expedite these operations.
• Driver Schedule and Rest Periods: Ensure compliance with regulations regarding driver hours of service and rest periods. Proper scheduling and management of drivers' working hours are essential to promote their safety and prevent fatigue-related accidents. Utilize electronic logging devices (ELDs) to accurately track and monitor drivers' hours.
• Warehouse and Storage: If you plan to operate a warehouse or storage facility, calculate the required space and amenities based on the volume and type of cargo you will handle. Determine appropriate security measures, inventory management systems, and handling equipment to maintain efficient operations.
• Consider implementing a real-time tracking system to monitor the movement of your trucks and provide accurate updates to customers.
• Establish strong relationships with reliable suppliers and freight forwarders to ensure a steady supply of goods and seamless coordination.
• Continuously monitor industry trends and changes in regulations to adapt your logistics and operational strategies accordingly.
• Invest in proper driver training programs to enhance their skills, knowledge, and safety on the road.

By carefully calculating the logistics and operational considerations, you can make informed decisions that contribute to the overall success of your truck transport business. Efficient operations will not only maximize productivity but also enhance customer satisfaction, ultimately leading to long-term growth and profitability.

Create A Preliminary Financial Forecast

Creating a preliminary financial forecast is an essential step in developing a business plan for truck transport. It allows you to estimate the potential revenues and expenses of your business, giving you a clearer understanding of its financial viability. Here are some key considerations when creating a preliminary financial forecast:

• Estimate your start-up costs: Identify the initial expenses required to get your brokerage business up and running. This may include costs for technology infrastructure, office space, marketing, legal fees, and licenses.
• Projected revenues: Estimate your potential revenues by assessing the average transaction volume and the fees or commissions you plan to charge shippers and carriers. Consider factors such as market demand, competition, and your ability to attract customers.
• Operating expenses: Determine the ongoing expenses associated with running your truck transport brokerage. This may include employee salaries, technology maintenance, marketing expenses, utilities, insurance, and any other costs specific to your business.
• Cash flow: Analyze the timing of your cash inflows and outflows to ensure you have sufficient funds to cover your expenses. Consider any potential fluctuations in revenue and plan for contingencies.

Tips for creating a preliminary financial forecast:

• Research industry benchmarks and financial performance of similar truck transport brokerages to guide your estimates.
• Be realistic in your projections and consider potential challenges or risks that may impact your financial performance.
• Regularly review and update your financial forecast as your business evolves to ensure it remains accurate and aligned with your goals.
• Consult with a financial advisor or accountant to validate your projections and ensure you have considered all relevant financial factors.

By creating a preliminary financial forecast, you can gain valuable insights into the financial feasibility and potential profitability of your truck transport brokerage. This will help you make informed decisions, secure funding, and set realistic goals for your business.

To successfully start and operate a truck transport business using the brokerage model, it is essential to follow a comprehensive and well-structured business plan. By conducting thorough market research, defining your target audience, identifying competitors, determining costs and revenue streams, researching legal requirements, assessing driver availability, calculating logistics, and creating financial forecasts, you can ensure that your business is set up for success. The brokerage model offers flexibility and scalability, allowing for expansion and growth without the need for owning trucks or employing drivers. With careful planning and execution, your truck transport business can thrive in the competitive industry.

What Is a Business Plan?

A business plan provides a snapshot of your transportation business as it stands today, and lays out your growth plan for the next five years. It explains your business goals and your strategy for reaching them. It also includes market research to support your plans.

Why You Need a Business Plan

If you’re looking to start a transportation business, or grow your existing transportation business, you need a business plan. A business plan will help you raise funding, if needed, and plan out the growth of your transportation business in order to improve your chances of success. Your business plan is a living document that should be updated annually as your company grows and changes.

Sources of Funding for Transportation Companies

With regards to funding, the main sources of funding for a transportation business are personal savings, credit cards, bank loans and angel investors. With regards to bank loans, banks will want to review your business plan and gain confidence that you will be able to repay your loan and interest. To acquire this confidence, the loan officer will not only want to confirm that your financials are reasonable, but they will also want to see a professional plan. Such a plan will give them the confidence that you can successfully and professionally operate a business. Personal savings and bank loans are the most common funding paths for transportation businesses.

How to write a business plan for a transportation company.

If you want to start a transportation business or expand your current one, you need a business plan. Below we detail what you should include in each section of your own business plan:

Executive Summary

Your executive summary provides an introduction to your business plan, but it is normally the last section you write because it provides a summary of each key section of your plan.

The goal of your Executive Summary is to quickly engage the reader. Explain to them the type of transportation business you are operating and the status. For example, are you a startup, do you have a transportation business that you would like to grow, or are you operating transportation businesses in multiple markets?

Next, provide an overview of each of the subsequent sections of your plan. For example, give a brief overview of the transportation industry. Discuss the type of transportation business you are operating. Detail your direct competitors. Give an overview of your target customers. Provide a snapshot of your marketing plan. Identify the key members of your team. And offer an overview of your financial plan.  

Company Analysis

In your company analysis, you will detail the type of transportation business you are operating.

For example, you might operate one of the following types of transportation businesses:

• Moving Van Transportation : this type of transportation company specializes in large vans or small fleet trucks to move individuals to a new home. Larger companies are able to move the family or individual to a different country.
• Medical Transportation: this type of transportation company specializes in the transportation of medical supplies and/or devices and equipment.
• Taxi Company: this type of transportation company focuses on individuals needing to get to different locations. These trips are often short and within the same city or neighborhood. Many individuals utilize taxi companies for pickup or dropoff from the airport.

In addition to explaining the type of transportation business you will operate, the Company Analysis section of your business plan needs to provide background on the business.

Include answers to question such as:

• When and why did you start the business?
• What milestones have you achieved to date? Milestones could include the number of clients served, number of positive reviews, reaching X amount of clients served, etc.
• Your legal structure. Are you incorporated as an S-Corp? An LLC? A sole proprietorship? Explain your legal structure here.

Industry Analysis

In your industry analysis, you need to provide an overview of the transportation industry.

While this may seem unnecessary, it serves multiple purposes.

First, researching the transportation industry educates you. It helps you understand the market in which you are operating. 

Secondly, market research can improve your strategy, particularly if your research identifies market trends.

The third reason for market research is to prove to readers that you are an expert in your industry. By conducting the research and presenting it in your plan, you achieve just that.

The following questions should be answered in the industry analysis section:

• How big is the transportation industry (in dollars)?
• Is the market declining or increasing?
• Who are the key competitors in the market?
• Who are the key suppliers in the market?
• What trends are affecting the industry?
• What is the industry’s growth forecast over the next 5 – 10 years?
• What is the relevant market size? That is, how big is the potential market for your transportation business? You can extrapolate such a figure by assessing the size of the market in the entire country and then applying that figure to your local population.

Customer Analysis

The customer analysis section must detail the customers you serve and/or expect to serve.

The following are examples of customer segments:individuals, seniors, families, and companies that need to transport their products.

As you can imagine, the customer segment(s) you choose will have a great impact on the type of transportation business you operate. Clearly, companies would respond to different marketing promotions than individuals, for example.

Try to break out your target customers in terms of their demographic and psychographic profiles. With regards to demographics, include a discussion of the ages, genders, locations and income levels of the customers you seek to serve.

Psychographic profiles explain the wants and needs of your target customers. The more you can understand and define these needs, the better you will do in attracting and retaining your customers.

Competitive Analysis

Your competitive analysis should identify the indirect and direct competitors your business faces and then focus on the latter.

Direct competitors are other transportation businesses. 

Indirect competitors are other options that customers have to purchase from that aren’t direct competitors. This includes transportation companies such as limousines, bicycle services, car rental companies, etc.

With regards to direct competition, you want to describe the other transportation businesses with which you compete. Most likely, your direct competitors will be transportation businesses located very close to your location.

For each such competitor, provide an overview of their businesses and document their strengths and weaknesses. Unless you once worked at your competitors’ businesses, it will be impossible to know everything about them. But you should be able to find out key things about them such as:

• What types of vehicles do they operate?
• What areas do they serve?
• What type of transportation company are they?
• What is their pricing (premium, low, etc.)?
• What are they good at?
• What are their weaknesses?

With regards to the last two questions, think about your answers from the customers’ perspective. And don’t be afraid to ask your competitors’ customers what they like most and least about them.

The final part of your competitive analysis section is to document your areas of competitive advantage. For example:

• Are your vehicles more fully-equipped than the competition?
• Will you provide transportation services that your competitors don’t offer?
• Will you provide faster delivery time?
• Will you provide better customer service?
• Will you offer better pricing?

Think about ways you will outperform your competition and document them in this section of your plan.  

Marketing Plan

Traditionally, a marketing plan includes the four P’s: Product, Price, Place, and Promotion. For a transportation company, your marketing plan should include the following:

Product : In the product section, you should reiterate the type of transportation company that you documented in your Company Analysis. Then, detail the specific products you will be offering. For example, in addition to transportation services, will you provide GPS tracking, 24/7/365 service, client communication, and any other services?

Price : Document the prices you will offer and how they compare to your competitors. Essentially in the product and price sub-sections of your marketing plan, you are presenting the services you offer and their prices.

Place : Place refers to the location of your transportation company. Document your location and mention how the location will impact your success. For example, is your transportation business located near a warehouse district, an office complex, an urban setting, or a busy neighborhood, etc. Discuss how your location might be the ideal location for your customers.

Promotions : The final part of your transportation marketing plan is the promotions section. Here you will document how you will drive customers to your location(s). The following are some promotional methods you might consider:

• Advertising in local papers and magazines
• Commercials
• Social media marketing
• Local radio advertising

Operations Plan

While the earlier sections of your business plan explained your goals, your operations plan describes how you will meet them. Your operations plan should have two distinct sections as follows.

Everyday short-term processes include all of the tasks involved in running your transportation business, including cleaning the vehicle, any necessary mechanical needs the vehicle may require, fueling the vehicle, and informing clients of location and status updates.

Long-term goals are the milestones you hope to achieve. These could include the dates when you expect to obtain your XXth client, or when you hope to reach $X in revenue. It could also be when you expect to expand your transportation business to a new location.  

Management Team

To demonstrate your transportation business’ ability to succeed, a strong management team is essential. Highlight your key players’ backgrounds, emphasizing those skills and experiences that prove their ability to grow a company. 

Ideally you and/or your team members have direct experience in managing transportation businesses. If so, highlight this experience and expertise. But also highlight any experience that you think will help your business succeed.

If your team is lacking, consider assembling an advisory board. An advisory board would include 2 to 8 individuals who would act like mentors to your business. They would help answer questions and provide strategic guidance. If needed, look for advisory board members with experience in managing a transportation business or is connected to a wide network of professional associations.  

Financial Plan

Your financial plan should include your 5-year financial statement broken out both monthly or quarterly for the first year and then annually. Your financial statements include your income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statements.

Income Statement : an income statement is more commonly called a Profit and Loss statement or P&L. It shows your revenues and then subtracts your costs to show whether you turned a profit or not.

In developing your income statement, you need to devise assumptions. For example, will you take on one new client at a time or multiple new clients with multiple vehicles and drivers ? And will sales grow by 2% or 10% per year? As you can imagine, your choice of assumptions will greatly impact the financial forecasts for your business. As much as possible, conduct research to try to root your assumptions in reality.

Balance Sheets : Balance sheets show your assets and liabilities. While balance sheets can include much information, try to simplify them to the key items you need to know about. For instance, if you spend $50,000 on building out your transportation business, this will not give you immediate profits. Rather it is an asset that will hopefully help you generate profits for years to come. Likewise, if a bank writes you a check for $50,000, you don’t need to pay it back immediately. Rather, that is a liability you will pay back over time.

Cash Flow Statement : Your cash flow statement will help determine how much money you need to start or grow your business, and make sure you never run out of money. What most entrepreneurs and business owners don’t realize is that you can turn a profit but run out of money and go bankrupt. 

In developing your Income Statement and Balance Sheets be sure to include several of the key costs needed in starting or growing a transportation business:

• Cost of vehicles
• Cost of fuel and transportation overhead
• Payroll or salaries paid to staff
• Business insurance
• Taxes and permits
• Legal expenses

Attach your full financial projections in the appendix of your plan along with any supporting documents that make your plan more compelling. For example, you might include your vehicle lease or cost, types of customer you will be targeting, and the areas your transportation business will serve.  

Putting together a business plan for your transportation business is a worthwhile endeavor. If you follow the template above, by the time you are done, you will truly be an expert. You will really understand the transportation industry, your competition, and your customers. You will have developed a marketing plan and will really understand what it takes to launch and grow a successful transportation business.

Timely Trucking

Executive summary executive summary is a brief introduction to your business plan. it describes your business, the problem that it solves, your target market, and financial highlights.">.

Timely Trucking is a new medium- and long-haul dry van trucking business based on Portland, Oregon and founded by veteran entrepreneur Jim Kerrigan. Timely Trucking will serve businesses in the Pacific Northwest (eventually expanding to include Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming) with freight hauling and logistics management services. The business will develop a reputation for its on-time and accurate service as well as sophisticated Web and software functionality, allowing clients to align their business with Timely Trucking’s services and scheduling automatically. The business will be managed by Jim Kerrigan, CEO, and a Chief Operating Officer.

Timely Trucking can be launched for about $700,000, largely with the investment of Jim Kerrigan, and with some investment by investing partners. The business will be launched with three 18-wheeler trucks and will expand its operations to utilize eight 18-wheelers by the end of its third year, using auto loans to finance this expansion. Gross margins will be around 60%, allowing for significant profit by the end of the third year as the business scales up.

Beyond three years, the business will seek to expand to additional bases of operation in the Northwest and to add trucks with refrigerated and temperature-controlled trailers. The business will be positioned for sale to a national freight-hauling service seeking to expand to, or add operations in, the Northwest.

Timely Trucking intends to serve businesses in the Northwest United States (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming) with truck-based distribution services.

Over the first three years of operations, Timely Trucking will seek to meet the following objectives:

• Establish bases in Seattle, Spokane, Portland, Cheyenne, Boise, and Billings
• Purchase 8 18-wheeler trucks with dry van trailers
• Hire 10 full-time truck drivers
• Achieve strong annual revenue  based on 1.2 million miles of hauling in the third year

Timely Trucking will simplify distribution of goods for Northwestern businesses, becoming their partner in operating efficiently and reliably. Timely Trucking will use management of logistics, on-time, accurate deliveries from destination to destination in the Northwest, and partnerships with distribution centers and warehousing businesses to achieve its goals.

Keys to Success

The keys to success in the trucking business are:

• Robust communication systems between drivers, bases, and clients
• Setting delivery schedules that can be met (i.e. setting the right expectations)
• Hiring and retaining reliable, safe drivers
• Understanding what clients are trying to achieve, and helping them find the right distribution solution to create long-term relationships

Company Summary company overview ) is an overview of the most important points about your company—your history, management team, location, mission statement and legal structure.">

Timely Trucking, a startup truck company headquartered in Portland, Oregon, will provide trucking and logistics management solutions for business clients in the Northwestern states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Beginning with operations in Washington and Oregon, the business will haul freight from suppliers to manufacturers to distributors and retailers, operating in partnership with distribution centers, warehouses, and wholesalers.

Company Ownership

Timely Trucking was founded by Jim Kerrigan, a previous owner of a warehousing business which he successfully exited from after fifteen years of management. Timely Trucking has been established as a sole proprietorship during its pre-launch phase, but will be reclassified as a limited liability company to take on partners. Kerrigan will share ownership with outside investors, giving 20% of shares to investors.

Start-up Summary

The start-up expenses include some of the basic set-up costs for the Timely Trucking office – stationery (business cards and letterhead), rent for the office and a large adjacent parking lot for two month’s rent and one month’s security at $4,000 per month, and computer equipment. Marketing expenses include brochures and website development (see website plan for more details). Other expenses include legal consultation fees to ensure that all precautions are taken to limit the risk of the business and to establish templates for client and partner agreements, insurance premiums for the first year of operation to cover liability associated with the service, the office, and the trucks, and licenses and permits for the business. These include Fuel Tax Reporting, USDOT numbers, 2290’s, IRP tags, MC numbers, and IFTA decals.

Cash required will be used to fund the months of operation before cash flow break even is achieved and to allow for adequate cash reserves to reduce the risk of running low on cash if targets are not met. Other current assets include office supplies, software for accounting, scheduling, and resource management and light equipment. Long-term assets include three new 18-wheelers, estimated at $150,000 each (approximately $120,000 for the cab and $30,000 for the trailer). The business will purchase new in order to better ensure that deliveries are made on time and that the usual risks of aging equipment are avoided.  $75,000 is budgeted for three fork lifts estimated at $25,000 each, one per truck. An additional $25,000 is budgeted for long-term assets including repair equipment and tools which it is cost-effective to own in-house, satellite-tracking equipment for each truck, and office furniture.

While some trucking businesses hire owner-operators of trucks, Timely Trucking will maintain greater control over the service it offers by owning the trucks, ensuring that it always lives up to its name.

Timely Trucking will offer the following services for businesses in the Northwest:

• Pick-up and delivery of goods with a minimum per-delivery weight of 20,000 lbs from and to locations in its geographic range by 18-wheeler trucks hauling dry van trailers
• Both “less than a truck load” and “truck load” services
• Online tracking information detailing the location of all GPS-tagged trucks and the status of deliveries, including expected arrival times for pick-up or delivery
• Phone support for all customer questions, delivery changes, and scheduling
• Preferred client services including online accounts, regular schedules of shipping, or linking of client order information directly to Timely Trucking’s scheduling software to allow for seamless logistics

To maintain its competitiveness in its core services, Timely Trucking will NOT offer:

• Storage or warehousing of goods awaiting delivery (goods can remain in storage in trucks for short periods, but at relatively high cost to customers)
• Packaging and crating
• Flat bed hauling

In the future, Timely Trucking will add the following services:

• Temperature-controlled shipping to expand the range of customers Timely can appeal to

Trucks are operated by qualified and well-trained drivers with spotless records. Drivers are safety trained and re-tested for knowledge of laws as they change. A dedicated suite of software and communication systems will allow for the logistical management mentioned above.

Market Segmentation

The market analysis table covers likely market segments within the five states which Timely Trucking will serve.

Raw Material Suppliers ship large quantities of materials to large manufacturers in the northwestern states. These materials generally do not require refrigeration or temperature control. Manufacturers maintain some on-site storage for these supplies and generally have some leeway as to when deliveries can be received, except when projections are mistaken and supplies drop low. Packaging supplies also must be shipped to manufacturers and are included in this group.

Manufacturers often outsource the distribution of their goods to businesses that specialize in serving one the type of retailer or business. Their packaged goods are often shipped to only one wholesaler/distributor, creating a regular business in shipping between the two locations.

Wholesalers/Distributors that serve large retailers assemble truckloads of goods from the many manufacturers they serve. While they often have their own trucks or distribution means, some of these firms do not either because they are smaller or because they attempt to limit their investment in assets. Others may require additional trucking support when they are operating at capacity but not prepared to expand their shipping capacity.

Target Market Segment Strategy

Timely Trucking will begin by focusing specifically on the segment of manufacturers in Washington and Oregon states, expanding after the first year to the entire intended five state region. By serving manufacturers, Timely Trucking can provide an affordable shipping solution for new and growing manufacturers over purchasing their own trucks.

Raw material suppliers sometimes require flatbed or bulk/tank trucking which will not be an initial service offered by Timely Trucking and wholesalers often have their own trucks. These segments are expected to yield some customers, but by focusing first on the middle of the supply chain with manufacturers, Timely Trucking will be introduced to suppliers and distributors who may require their services without having to engage in full marketing campaigns to these segments.

Service Business Analysis

Hoovers reports that:

• The U.S. trucking industry includes about 110,000 for-hire carriers and 350,000 independent owner-operators
• Total industry revenue is nearly $200 billion
• Major players in the industry include YRC Worldwide, Swift Transportation, JB Hunt, and Con-way
• The industry is fragmented, with the 50 largest companies accounting for less than 30% of the market

The industry includes carriers that use commercial motor vehicles and doesn’t include couriers like UPS and FedEx or private carriers (companies that transport their own products and raw materials).

Hoover’s writes that “demand is driven by consumer spending and manufacturing output. The profitability of individual companies depends on efficient operations. Large companies have advantages in account relationships, bulk fuel purchasing, fleet size, and access to drivers. Small operations can compete effectively by providing quick turnaround, serving a local market, or transporting unusually sized goods. Average annual revenue per employee is $135,000.”

The industry is broken into “truckload (TL) shipments that dedicate trailers to a single shipper’s cargo” and “less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments, which transport the consolidated cargo of several shippers on one truck, dropping off goods at multiple delivery points”.

Competition and Buying Patterns

In addition to competing with other trucking companies, including national carriers, Timely Trucking will compete with rail and air cargo transportation. However, for the distances it intends to travel, and due to the few rail lines over the northwestern states, trucking is at an advantage.

Shippers choose between trucking companies based on:

• Their track record of on-time and accurate deliveries
• Their price
• Their ability to partner with the shipper to offer logistics expertise and added services.

Web Plan Summary

The Timely Trucking website will serve as a source of basic information for those who find it via Internet searches, as well as a sophisticated account management portal for clients. For potential clients, the website will serve as a deeper explanation of the services and background of the company than a brochure or advertisement can provide. Specific calls to action on the website will ask users to call to speak to a salesperson or to fill in a form with their basic information and a good time to speak with them, so that a salesperson can contact them. Even one-time clients will be able to access up-to-date information about the ETA and current location of their deliveries. Clients who subscribe to preferred services will have access to more advanced information and functions.

Website Marketing Strategy

Timely Trucking will utilize the following means to promote its website as a marketing tool:

• Initial and ongoing search engine optimization by the Web developer and then by an SEO firm
• Google Adwords campaign which can be reduced or defunded if organic search rankings are high enough
• Profiles and listings on ten business and trucking company online databases
• Mention of the website URL in all brochures and advertisements

Development Requirements

The website’s components will have the following requirements:

• Homepage – Mirroring a basic brochure about Timely Trucking
• About Us – Background on the partners, mission, and basics of the business
• Contact – Form to submit information and phone number to reach a salesperson during business hours
• Services – Deeper description of the service options along with images of the trucks and a map of the area served>

Delivery Tracking

• Form – To enter delivery code which was designated for the delivery
• Map – Shows current location of the delivery on a map
• Statistics – Gives ETA, minutes late or ahead of schedule, status of pick-up or drop-off, other notes about the order

Account Management

• Login – Login form for client username and password
• Account Profile – Basic client information, settings related to interface between client systems and Timely Trucking if direct links have been established
• Scheduling – Calendar on which pickups and deliveries can be scheduled and rescheduled
• Alerts – Settings for email or text alerts about deliveries which can be sent to client
• Database Entry – Ability to search within and make changes and edits to the client and scheduling information in the database
• Billing Interface – Website sends billing information for completed jobs directly to accounting software for bill creation

The website will be developed over a three month period and will require $20,000. Many elements can be adapted from off-the-shelf or open source software, but others must be developed from scratch to interface between client software and the Timely Trucking database.

Strategy and Implementation Summary

Timely Trucking will focus its strategy on the following areas:

• Establishing a strong software/Web component to its business to drive adoption of its preferred client services
• Building and maintaining its on-time reputation to command revenue per mile slightly over the industry average
• Targeting manufacturers in Oregon and Washington in the first wave of marketing as the segment most in need of Timely Trucking’s services

Competitive Edge

Marketing strategy.

Timely Trucking will attempt to rapidly achieve awareness in Oregon and Washington states about its business in the first year, followed with awareness in Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana in future years. It will seek to position itself not as the most inexpensive carrier, but as a carrier with the best on-time record coupled with advanced systems to help clients manage their logistics better. Smaller businesses may feel more comfortable working with a smaller carrier as they fear being lost in the shuffle by bigger carriers who also handle huge accounts.

• Building a website with visibility on search engines and in databases of trucking companies (see Web plan)
• Creating a compelling brochure of Timely Trucking services which will be distributed through direct mail, and kept in stock for networking events
• Exhibiting at Northwestern business service conferences, especially for sectors of the manufacturing industry
• Advertisements in trade publications
• Public relations efforts including press releases related to the business launch and its unique preferred client account management package

Sales Strategy

Jim Kerrigan will manage sales for the business, making appointments with and traveling to client businesses in the region when necessary to establish relationships based on an understanding of the client’s needs for shipping. Kerrigan will prospect from a list of manufacturer businesses in the region, starting with small and new businesses which may not have established a long-term relationship with a carrier yet.

Sales Forecast

The cost of sales listed here for per-mile shipping is approximately 25% for fuel based on the estimated 10 mpg for loaded trucks, and another 25% for truck driver labor hours that can be assigned to the jobs based on $16/hour rate. Cost of sales for preferred accounts is much smaller as it consists only of set-up and maintenance labor for hourly operators.

Preferred client accounts are paid for once a year and a 90% retention rate is projected.

The milestones table covers the early marketing activities described in the marketing strategy summary. The first two milestones (website and brochure) are budgeted under start-up expenses and the remainder are budgeted under the first year marketing budget for operations.

Management Summary management summary will include information about who's on your team and why they're the right people for the job, as well as your future hiring plans.">

Jim Kerrigan, CEO, will manage the strategic direction, sales and marketing of Timely Trucking. He developed experience in all of these areas through work in his previous warehousing business, which he launched and successfully sold after fifteen years of operation.

The Chief Operating Officer position will be filled by a partner who will be granted up to 10% of shares in the business after meeting certain milestones. Additional shares will be granted if the COO contributes capital to the business. The COO will manage operations, finances, human resources, and procurement.

The business will require additional personnel including an administrator/dispatch center operator and a sales/marketing support associate. These individuals will be managed by the COO and the CEO, respectively. Three part-time truck drivers will be hired initially.

Personnel Plan

Truck driver salary listed here covers only wages paid which are not directly attributable to client jobs. This includes training, repair work, returns from deliveries, and other required driving with empty trucks. It is expected that this will be less than 20% of driver wages. Truck drivers will grow from three part-time at launch to four full-time by the end of year 1, eight full-time by the end of year 2, and 10 full-time by the end of year 3. There will be more full-time truck drivers than trucks as the business will attempt to utilize the capacity of the trucks at least 60 hours per week and will limit overtime of drivers.

The sales/marketing associate will be hired in the fourth month after the CEO has directly executed all sales and marketing operations for the first three months.

Financial Plan investor-ready personnel plan .">

Timely Trucking will establish its business with three trucks and a launch financed by the owner and investor’s equity. Starting debt-free will enable the business to take on debt once it has established cash flows to purchase additional trucks over the first three years. Profits will swing positive in the second year after a loss in the first year.

After the first three years, the business can sustain growth of at least three additional trucks per year, and begin to add additional bases of operation throughout the region so that truck drivers who do not live in the Portland area can be hired and trucks do not have to return to this base after all jobs.

Dividends will not be paid out, as cash will be used in the business to prepare for expansion to additional offices and purchase equipment on better terms going forward. After five years of operation, the business will seek a strategic sale to a national freight trucking operator for which Timely Trucking’s geographic and technological focus will be a good match.

Start-up Funding

Jim Kerrigan will provide the majority of start-up funding out of savings from the sale of his previous business. Additional investment will be from investing partners who will be granted 20% of shares in the business for their investment.

Important Assumptions

The business assumes the cost of fuel at an average of the past two years, slightly higher than today’s fuel prices. This is considered a conservative estimate as it is possible that fuel will stay below this number during at least part of the start-up phase. However, if fuel becomes significantly more expensive, the gross margins of the business will drop.

Break-even Analysis

The break even point is shown in the table and chart, below.

Projected Profit and Loss

Major expenses include:

• Payroll: Covers the management, staff, and truck driver wages (when not directly attributed to jobs)
• Marketing/Promotion: Projected higher in the first year and then dropping due to extra marketing devoted to the launch and the weaning off of search engine marketing over time
• Depreciation: Reflects the growing investment in trucks and equipment over the years. Trucks are depreciated on a 10 year straight-line schedule. The depreciation is $1,250 per month per truck or $1,458 per month including the additional equipment purchased with each truck. The business will grow from four trucks at the end of year 1 to six at the end of year 2 to eight at the end of year 3.
• Truck Maintenance/Repair: Estimated at $200 per month per truck to start and rising to $225 in year 3 due to aging of some of the first trucks purchased.
• Rent & Utilities: Projected to rise slightly due to inflationary increases
• Insurance: Will grow with the number of trucks and size of operations
• Payroll Taxes: Applied to payroll as listed and half of the direct cost of sales (truck driver wages)
• Licensing and Permitting: Include ongoing renewals of licenses and additional licenses for new trucks as they are purchased

Projected Cash Flow

Purchases of new trucks will be made with 3 year loans for 90% of the purchase price. The remaining $25,000 plus $25,000 in additional equipment (forklift, etc) for each purchase will be made in cash. Payments on these loans will be $3,750 per month, per truck loan for the life of the loans.

One additional truck will be purchased in the first year with a loan, two in the second year, and two in the third year.

Projected Balance Sheet

The balance sheet illustrates the launch of the business on equity financing and augmented by safe debt over its first three years of operation to purchase additional trucks. This will allow cash and assets, as well as net worth, to continue to grow.

Retained earnings will be negative due to the loss sustained in the first year of operation and the start-up phase, but will move closer to positive in the third year after a profitable second year.

Business Ratios

The ratios of the business are compared to General Freight/Long-Distance Trucking for businesses of $1 million to $5 million in revenues.

The valuation of the business after three years is estimated at an average between two methods of valuation, based on an earnings multiple and based on a sales multiple. Both methods yield similar results. The average valuation is $4.53 million.

Investors will be given 20% of shares for their capital contribution. Kerrigan will be given 46% for his capital contribution and 34% for his contribution as founder. Investors will see a 63% internal rate of return based on this valuation.

The market value of the business will be determined after five years, when the business is best poised for sale. The valuation of the business is expected to be between $10 and $15 million for a strategic sale to a national trucking operator at that point.

Businesses hire the services of trucking companies to carry and transport the products and goods they’re selling. That’s how trucking businesses get profit. The process may seem simple, but just like every other company, there are many challenges in opening a trucking business. First off, you will need a trucking business plan.

A trucking business plan is a written document that every startup truck business owner needs as part of their preparation. It’s where you’ll find details of an envisioned trucking business—things such as what it’s all about, what goods or items will it transport, what financial strategies it has, and other important logistics .

A trucking business may not be one of those businesses we hear or see on a daily basis, but it’s one that’ll surely generate revenue and profit if done right.

Planning is crucial when it comes to starting any business. The trucking business is no exception. You need to have a written guide in doing the right approaches to build a sustainable business. That written guide is your trucking company business plan . So follow these steps to create an effective and helpful trucking business plan doc .

As its name implies, the executive summary is a detailed rundown of your trucking business plan or your trucking business itself. When you write it, it’s important to make it engaging to read. Take note that your trucking business plan is also a business proposal . You’ll be presenting it to potential investors and business partners. A decent executive summary can help in convincing them to support your startup trucking company.

In this step, you’ll be establishing your trucking company’s identity. It’s where you’ll set your trucking business apart from other trucking companies. In other words, you’ll be talking about what makes it unique. The company description or company profile is the official introduction to your trucking business.

In the company description, you can share the inspiration behind your trucking business, along with your mission and vision. You may also share details about your organizational chart , business location, and target markets.

Next, start discussing your specific trucking services. More or less, you’ll be offering the same services as other trucking businesses. But try to explain what makes them different. It could be a difference in price, methods of securing and keeping cargo safe, and whatnot. It’s all up to you. You’re the creative mind behind your trucking company. You can also include images of your trucks, both their exteriors and interiors. That should make your business plan more appealing.

A business plan isn’t a business plan if it doesn’t have strategies. The strategies you must have are marketing strategies , financial strategies, sales strategies , pricing strategies, and safety strategies. You have to explain all of them in full detail. They’re the foundations to make your trucking company profitable and sustainable. Make sure that your business strategies are realistic and achievable. And see to it that they can cater to your trucking company’s goals.

The type of trucking businesses that can generate the most profits are:

• Freight trucking
• Tanker hauling
• Luxury car hauling
• Oversized load hauling
• Ice road trucking
• Private fleets

According to Trucker’s Training, being a truck driver doesn’t always guarantee a $100,000 yearly salary. But thanks to high demands on truck driving jobs, truck drivers can make $80,000 yearly , especially those with experience and CDL training.

Being resourceful always helps if one wants to start a business with less existing assets and capital, even a business as big as a trucking business. These are the ways you can start a trucking business with little to no money:

• Apply for commercial truck loans
• Renting vehicles and equipment instead of buying
• Get a lease to own
• Purchase used vehicles and equipment, but make sure they’re still in good shape

If you start planning right now, your trucking business can be operational in months or a year from now. So if you’re serious about it, don’t waste time. Download our trucking business plan example to begin your journey asap. Your trucking company could become the next big thing in the industry!

Box Truck Industry Analysis

The box truck industry is expected to grow over the next five years to over $15 trillion during the next five years.

• The growth will be driven by an increased number of customers who will request packing and unpacking of goods, in addition to moving services. This will be primarily because, as the elderly population grows, more seniors will move and will require more assistance in doing so.
• The growth will be driven by an increase in the population of the U.S. and, in particular, in the Ocala region, where younger families are employed by DisneyWorld and other major attractions. In particular, white glove packing and unpacking will be an option they will choose.
• The growth of the box truck transport industry will grow as big box retailers and businesses rely on outside transport to carry goods and furnishings on a contract basis.
• Businesses will be expected to expand services in the coming years, with box transport likely to expand as well. The size of box trucks will get both smaller are larger, as customer demand begins to specify the size and type of services desired.
• Costs will likely be reduced, as fuel pricing will return to lower levels and oil reserves are released. There will be more owner-operator services within the industry, creating healthy competition, which will also create a lower-cost infrastructure for trucks and trucking equipment overall.

Competitive Analysis

Ocala Box Truck Transport

Ocala Box Truck Transport has a fleet of six box trucks in various sizes and capacities. The trucks are used for transporting goods, equipment, or furniture over short to medium distances within the Ocala region. The business hires truck drivers who own their box trucks to contract for deliveries for residential moving or commercial deliveries.

Ocala Box Truck Transport was established in 1988 and has garnered a reputation for being courteous and fair to their drivers, as well as offering on-time service for their customers. They specialize in residential moving, with that customer segment accounting for 88% of their total business. Commercial deliveries account for the remaining 12% of their business. The company does not provide white glove service, but offers a contractor who will provide service, with a percentage of the fees going to Ocala Box Truck Transport for the referral.

Florida Box Haulers

Florida Box Haulers is a Orlando-based box truck transport company that serves the greater Florida area. The company specializes in transporting furnishings and office equipment for businesses that are moving in-state. Their trucks vary in size from 22 to 26 feet, which allows for exact planning and estimations to reduce costs and improve transport times by acquiring the exact truck sizes needed. The company, an S-Corporation, has twenty-two employees and has been in business since 1999. Several of the employees listed are part of the S-Corporation and work part-time while in college. Owned by Ray Keller, a former long-haul truck driver, the company is known for precise loading of office furnishings that result in only one-half percent of breakage or damage to property transported. This low breakage report is the key to much of the company’s success, as advertising and marketing promotions frequently tout this performance indicator as a major success.

Two Guys On The Move

An indirect competitor, Two Guys On The Move, offer their local Ocala moving services to retail appliance and furnishing stores. The stores contract with the company and create their schedules for delivery per the store representatives who work with the clients. The movers do not have direct relationships with the customers, with the exception of offloading goods at designated times. The owners of this business, Ray Thomas and Tommy Knight, have been moving furnishings and office equipment since college and have developed a pattern between them of coordinating moves that are profitable for the company. They employ college students to assist with moves when available, all of them on an as-needed basis, and paid in cash.

Ray and Tommy have hired their wives, Cookie and Tami, to be the office team overseeing accounting, office management, customer relations and website traffic. Cookie and Tami receive online orders from the appliance and furnishing stores, which are then communicated to the drivers with schedules and timed routes included.

Competitive Advantage

Professional Associations and Networking

Both Jason and Daniel Grey have been active in professional associations within the box transport industry for several years. They will continue to do so, increasing their networking efforts to bring additional community businesses onboard with their services. They will also increase their efforts to assist non-profits and others who need assistance, but cannot pay full prices. This will attract attention and also serve as a way to pay back the greater Ocala area for their loyalty.

Print Advertising

Direct mail flyers will be sent to all households and businesses in the two weeks before the business launch. The flyers will include a one-time promotion for discounted services when the promotion pricing is redeemed within the first month of business.

Website/SEO Marketing

ProHaul Solutions will extensively utilize their website as a means of communication and moving reservations. Danielle Montoya, the Senior Customer Service Manager, will oversee communication with customers on the website and handle any concerns or complaints that may surface. She will also respond to positive reviews and post announcements or upcoming events within the company. The website will be well organized, informative, and list all services that ProHaul Solutions provides. The website will also list their contact information and list their available open dates for transport to enable customers to readily see when they might want to choose services on any given date. SEO marketing tactics will be employed so that anytime someone types in the Google or Bing search engine “transport company” or “moving company near me”, ProHaul Solutions will be listed at the top of the search results.

The pricing of ProHaul Solutions will be moderate and on par with competitors so customers feel they receive excellent value when purchasing their services.

Get the right equipment, evaluate your growth strategy, register your hauling business, consider being an independent contractor, research state licensing requirements, purchase liability and commercial insurance, market your hauling services.

• Start Your Hauling Business as a PRO Loader
• Frequently Asked Questions

The most important piece to your hauling business is the truck. You can start pocketing money faster by leasing a used truck instead of purchasing a brand new one.

If you already own one, is it capable of carrying 2,000 pounds? While you can use half-ton vehicles to transport large items like furniture, you cannot safely haul more than a few items.

One-ton vehicles like box trucks can easily make you more money since they’re capable of hauling much more, and therefore will be a greater return on investment .

Also, take into consideration the cost of insurance, reliability, power, and fuel efficiency. Hauling businesses require a lot of time on the road so a well-rounded and fuel-efficient vehicle will help lower your costs.

While one-ton pickup trucks are beefed up and can pull a massive amount of weight, they have terrible fuel economy and are expensive so they’re not the best choice for a long-lasting hauling business.

Cargo vans are a good choice as they can haul up to 3,500 pounds and have around 404 cubic feet. Minidump trucks are the easiest to unload once you are finished for the day. These are best for large cleanout projects including residential and commercial jobs.

However, if you want to regularly take on large local hauling, delivery, or moving jobs , your best investment is a box truck. See below for box truck sizes and their hauling capacity :

• 12-foot truck : Haul up to 3,100 pounds and 450 cubic feet.
• 16-foot truck : Haul up to 4,300 pounds and 800 cubic feet.
• 22-foot truck : Haul up to 10,000 pounds and 1,200 cubic feet.
• 26-foot truck : Haul up to 10,000 pounds and 1,700 cubic feet.

Does your truck fit our vehicle requirements? FIND OUT ❯

While your truck is your main piece of equipment, in order to get jobs done efficiently and without hurting yourself, you should also purchase things like dollies and bungee cords.

This equipment will help you prevent damage to the items you are hauling and therefore many future headaches and legal disputes.

If you’re hauling things like refrigerators, washing machines, and other appliances, you will want to purchase an appliance dolly. You’ll also need basic tools for disassembly jobs if you’re helping remove bulky furniture items that may not fit through doors.

Other types of hauling equipment you may want to get are the following:

• Bungee cords
• Ratchet straps
• Moving blankets

Thinking about growing in your city and getting not just one truck but two? It’s good to consider this early in the game since, for every new truck you invest in, you open up an additional revenue stream for your hauling business.

🏦 You can apply for small business loans or grants to help you purchase trucks, tools, hauling equipment, and cover other costs of starting the business such as getting the business license.

Keep in mind however that the more your truck(s) costs, the more hours you’re going to need to put in just to stay on top of payments before making any profit. Make sure you’re servicing an area where there’s enough demand to supply your investments.

If you don’t want to purchase a new truck right now but need more cubic feet, you can also make a smaller investment and attach a trailer to your current vehicle.

Check out the following trailers that you can use to expand your cubic feet :

• Dump Trailer
• Utility Trailer
• Enclosed Trailer

If you are starting a company where you have your own branding, website, social media, marketing team, etc. then you will want to register your hauling business at this point.

A business license, put simply, is essentially a tax receipt given by your city. If you’re going in with partners, look into registering as an LLC. Laws vary by state, so check out local resources such as the chamber of commerce, city clerk, zoning and planning department, or other local offices to assist with registering your hauling business.

💼 The nationwide average to purchase a junk removal business license is between $50 – $400 .

As an independent contractor you are considered self-employed and will then be paying self-employment taxes. You can still be hired by another company or person to do a job, but how you go about completing it is determined by you .

Starting a business as an independent hauler gives you earlier and easier access to jobs in your area because you can offer your services through gigs listed on websites like Craigslist or make more money by signing up to be a Loader for free access to junk hauling jobs in your area with logistics companies like LoadUp.

In some cities, independent contractors can operate their business by paying a low fee to the city they’re servicing. However, other cities may not require a business license and instead ask you to obtain a permit to conduct business.

Unlike W2 employees, you don’t have an employer withholding taxes from your paycheck and you will instead need to pay the IRS money at the end of the year.

If you plan on operating locally within the same state, look into your local requirements for operating an intrastate commercial vehicle and for your type of hauling service.

Depending on what you plan on hauling, the size of your vehicle, and your state regulations, you may need to obtain a commercial drivers’ license.

Also familiarize yourself with your state requirements for the items you plan on handling. If you plan on working in the junk removal industry and maybe hauling hazardous waste, you need to be aware of proper disposal processes in your county.

🤔 Wondering how to start a junk removal business specifically? Check out our detailed guide !

Next, you’re going to need to get commercial insurance to protect your vehicle, along with liability insurance to protect your business. Investing in insurance policies for your hauling business gives you peace of mind and opens more doors as it builds trust with customers.

Independent contractors working with apps like the LoadUp Driver app are often given the option to be assisted with liability insurance for jobs referred through that platform.

🏷️ The average cost for $1 million general liability coverage is between $450 – $1000 per year.

If you’re planning to work completely independently then you should get in touch with a commercial insurance broker to choose the best insurance option for starting your own independent hauling business.

Now that you’re all set to provide hauling services, you need to build your customer base!

With long-established, competing hauling services like 1-800-GOT-JUNK, College Hunks, and, yes, even LoadUp, you’ll want to make really smart business decisions at the beginning .

You can start the affordable route and just spread the word with friends, family, and referrals but eventually you’ll want to invest some money in marketing and advertising.

However, the most cost-effective to get your hauling company’s profits growing from the get-go is by joining a gig-referral app like the LoadUp Driver app as an independent hauler .

While most hauling gigs are lead-based, meaning you still need to seal the deal before making money from your time and effort, the Loader app only provides paid-for jobs .

Don’t Waste Time On Hauling Leads

The way it works is when a customer books with us, we give you 60% of the profits for every job your hauling business completes. When jobs are booked online or over the phone, they go into the app with the payout listed, and you can accept as many jobs as you want and even assign them to team members.

As a Loader, you are still your own independent business but are simply completing jobs in your area that were booked through our system and are up for grabs on our Driver app. We’ll never tell you how to do your job, where or when you work, or how many jobs to take.

🤑 Wondering how much money you can make as a Loader? Find your potential earnings here!

Being a Loader is a no-contract, no-money-down opportunity for you to accept more, higher-paying jobs and make a better living with your own hauling business.

If you have just one truck, starting out as a Loader can get you your sailor’s legs.

And, if you’re more interested in being a multi-truck hauling business and have your sights set on being a nationwide hauling service, our Loader App can get you there.

Project Report on Truck Transportation Lorry Business Plan

Every detail about Project Report on Truck Transportation is available on this page. The transport system of a nation is important for its financial improvement and social development. Transport by road is suited for different types of vehicles due to its simplicity, adaptability, administration, and dependability. The share of cargo, trucks, and passenger vehicles in this manner is increasing faster than other methods. 

The trucking industry is meeting the need for cargo transportation. The spatial spread of the road system (highways and other roads), its quality, and accessibility play a significant role. Today, more than 65% of the nation’s cargo is being shipped on trucks, and it strongly confirms the modular move of rail-to-road load transport.

The trucking industry has rapidly entered the market through a wide range of administrative measures. The truck population in India is growing at a 15% pace every year, taking the current number to over 2,000 trucks for every million population. In India, the trucking industry is a notable player in load development, contributing 55% of the ton-km characteristic.

Regardless of these results, road limits in India are extremely low. Most of the national highways have two roads or fewer, and road blockages represent a significant challenge, with more than 25% of most of the national highways in India being filled. The trucking industry is the most important connection that promotes rapid profitability of the nation through its contribution to the economy, encouraging profitability and aggressive proficiency.

Despite the second largest road system on the planet and the road transport industry contributing 4.9% to GDP, it is sad to see that there is a deep segmentation of the road cargo market, which is governed by a vast network of small administrators, and one is based on a multi-faceted and complex system of connection and funding issues.
