Requirements

In this course, we will cover: Business Setup, Registrations/Certifications, Proper Insurance Coverage, Securing Loads, Equipment, and Marketing.

 

Additionally, we will cover qualities of success:

 

Responsibility – how to develop your own business systems and set up a regular truck maintenance program. Plan for the hard times when business is good.

 

Reliability – Good customer service is vital to your success. Being dependable means, you’ll get the loads you need to get the revenue you want.

 

Motivation – Without the desire to earn money, the freedom of being an owner-operator won’t amount to much. This means being available to carry loads and being smart in choosing profitable loads.

 

Willing to Learn – Seek knowledge. Ask questions. Know your limits, and learn to overcome them.

 

Mechanical Aptitude – You may not have to do major work on your truck, but every dollar you save by doing simple tasks yourself goes straight to your bottom line.

 

We want you to be successful in the trucking industry and are excited to show you how you can take control of your career. Thank you for choosing Garrison Ground Logistics and we hope to inspire you to invest in your future. Good luck and let us know if you have any questions and/or feedback.
