Save yourself energy, time and money, by thoroughly researching the industry. Research online and check some driver forums before you jump in!
To help you get started, let me first start by telling you that when you start a trucking company, you will have to deal and comply with many rules and regulations from government agencies like:
- National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA);
- Safety and Fitness Electronic Records (SAFER);
- US Department of Transportation (DOT);
- Federal Motor Safety Carrier Administration (FMCSA);
- Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA);
- United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA);
- United States Department of Labor (DOL);
- Federal Highway Administration;
- Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
Every one of the trucking company owners should be well prepared and follow the traditional steps to starting a business.
