Description


Learn What It Takes To Operate a Successful Trucking Business

When you see the trucks that belong to the largest and most successful trucking companies on the road today, those mega carriers didn't get where they are by accident. The same is true with the much smaller fleets that operate just a few trucks up to one hundred or more, all those who are successful and especially  the best of the best do some things in common. 

They effectively use management and control systems throughout all areas of their businesses.

The absolute power of systems is self evident if you take the time to look behind the scenes at every major business in every single industry in the country and the world, and I don't just mean trucking either.

From the world famous fast food franchises to the mighty Amazon itself, and all the transportation companies that haul in the raw materials and products and deliver the goods when needed directly to you - and every other truly successful company in between - those who are successful all do business in a certain way.

Whether large or small - they all share at least one thing in common - they use highly efficient SYSTEMS to run their businesses.

Likewise, when you look at  the companies that fail they also have common traits. Often they were ran by one or two people who tried to run everything by the seat of their pants - without any consistent methodology at all. That leads to all manner of inefficiencies. 

Such businesses are disorganized at best and experience varying levels of continuing crisis and chaos that eventually leads to business failure. Even before that, during the time the company is operating - it is an unpleasant and burdensom place for the owners and the employees alike.

Learn How to avoid replicating failing methods and build your business the right way instead.

Trucking is absolutely a business that can and does benefit massively when the right systems are in place. In fact, most of those companies that have already failed - and those that will fail - in large part can trace their failures back to inadequate or nonexistent management control systems. Of course they won't always admit that, if they even realize it. Instead they will blame the economy, the regulations, their competition along with anything and anyone other than the truth.The bitter truth is that the reason they failed is because they personally failed to lead and manage properly. 

You can learn from their mistakes and at the same time, you can learn even more by modeling the most successful companies in the world and setting up and using your own systems properly from day one. 

Accomplish more in weeks and months than others have in decades of struggle.

This course will share with you the key systems you need, and give you a detailed overview of how to get started putting your own highly efficient Management and Control Systems in place and how to start using them immediately.

Many of these things I personally learned from almost two decades of real world experience and now you can get all that information and put your own systems in  place in hours and days and begin getting serious results within weeks and months instead of having to take years or even decades of trial and error yourself to learn this stuff the hard way. If you use what you will learn in this course it will help you immediately and drastically improve your business in every area. 

This Course is For Anyone Who Wants to Build A Trucking Business Successfully

Learn what it takes to get started in this Introductory Basic Course. Then learn where and how to get all the additional resources, help and support you will need as you systematically start, build and grow your own trucking business from day one.

While trucking can be a very challenging and seemingly overwhelming business to get into, having the right information, training, tools, support and other resources can make it a lot simpler and easier - and far more profitable too. 

Make your decision - and if you decide that you are serious about building a successful trucking business of your own - then I will see you on the inside!

Learn how you can improve your life in every area. Become more productive, produce more income, continuously improve your knowledge and skills, perform at a higher level and become more confident as you set and achieve goal after goal systematically.

Entrepreneurship, business management, leadership, specialized tactics and systems have been a major interest and focus of mine my entire adult life and remain so to this day. I have been a lifelong student of personal development and  productivity improvement systems, which I have utilized in every position I have ever held. Over the years I have held a variety of positions in several businesses and as an entrepreneur I have started, owned and operated several companies of my own along the way too. 

Every experience has taught me numerous lessons. Many of these lessons have been not only highly beneficial but also enjoyable - others were learned the hard and painful way, and while they certainly weren't any fun they were still very valuable learning experiences.

I have owned or co owned a number of micro and small businesses including wood crafting, medical claims processing, commercial cleaning, transportation consulting, independent recruiting, real estate investing, and soap and candle making companies.

Many years ago I started my own career in trucking - just as you may be considering doing now - and if you have never considered trucking take the time to look into what it offers before you just write it off. It might surprise you. 

When I started my own career I set out with the intention of making trucking my primary profession and I wanted to learn everything I possibly could about the business of trucking. 

What an interesting journey it has been over the last couple of decades and continues to be even now. Over the course of my years in trucking I have held many different positions including;

Professional Truck Driver

Driver Trainer

Third Party CDL Skills Examiner

Instructor

Dispatcher

Recruiter

Human Resource Director

Safety Director

Transportation Consultant

Coach

Author

These experiences have helped me in countless ways to pursue many other entrepreneurial opportunities. As a result of all these  experiences and from working with all kinds of people and with hundreds of drivers over many years, I am able to provide you with a unique, complete and multidimensional personal account of exactly what it takes to become a successful entrepreneur - and for those interested - exactly what it takes to become a professional truck driver, and trucking business owner.

While trucking is a fascinating business that offers many opportunities to you - it will demand much from you in return - and It is NOT the right business for everyone. 

There is something that is a right fit for you. Finding the right work or business for you is the key.

Once you know what that is you can  then start focusing your efforts on learning the skills and specialized information needed to shorten your learning curve, produce better results faster and that will help you achieve your own goals.

Life is far too precious and too short to waste working in businesses, careers and at jobs you don't like - so find something you do like - that is also profitable - then learn how to get started and then just do it! 

Today every lesson I have ever learned from all my personal experiences and studies, including those I continue to learn, I now teach in my courses and workshops as well as through my books, manuals and other publications. 

Life is all about choices and you do have choices. 

That is my passion in life - working with and helping people who want to get ahead in life instead of just getting by to find their own courses in life, and to help those willing to do the work to make it happen.

Now, how can I help you...
