I would to start my own trucking company. what are some of the things will i need to get started?

Answer 1

You have important questions to answer:
1)What state are you in?
2)Do you plan to haul interstate?
3)What do plan to haul?(Hazmat, food, fluids, refer, etc.)
4)Do you have a broker or a movement agreement that guarantees you a certain number of loads per week?
5)How many trucks do you plan to have? Employees?

You will need some capital. How much will depend on how you answer the previous questions.
If you simply know of an intrastate company that needs sub-haulers, doesn't haul anything that requires endorsements, and they provide the trailers then it can be almost as simple as buying a truck and having insurance. And. They can surely help you.
If you move interstate you will need IFTA and it will change how you log your hours and your insurance. If they have placarded loads, food, fluid, oversize or overweight loads, refer product, or if they want you to provide your own trailer. Or if you will need more than one truck or driver. Then. It will add greatly to your cost and prep work.
All of this can be solved if you have a written agreement stating that you will receive from them a certain amount of dollars. Lenders will need to see this.
It is a tough business but can be lucrative.
Good Luck.
