Step 1
Do not forget that currently there are a lot of trucking companies with a large volume of cargo transportation, so it is very difficult to enter this market. It is necessary to carefully work out the strategy and tactics of doing business, and fix all the steps in the business plan of your future company.
Step 2
Be sure to include in the business plan the purpose of creating a business, its concept, marketing strategy, organizational aspects and financial and accounting part. The concept of a trucking company involves considering the issue of the size of the company, the types of services provided, the volume of cargo transportation, the number of cars in the fleet.
Step 3
Then organize the search and attraction of customers. To do this, conclude contracts with several dispatch services so that the vehicle fleet is not idle. Usually dispatchers charge about 10% of the order value. If you are going to create a large trucking company that will have 30-40 vehicles, then it makes sense to open your own dispatch center.
Step 4
Think over the list of services provided. A trucking company can not only engage in transportation, but also provide related services: packaging and cargo, loading, unloading, unpacking. Therefore, in the state, in addition to drivers, it is advisable to accept loaders.
Step 5
As for the costs of running a business, many do not register it due to the high tax burden. Some drivers have several cars, but at the same time do not register a company, since taxes on income are 60-70 thousand rubles, and they can be obtained from one Gazelle, amount to about 10 thousand rubles. This does not include fuel and repair costs.
Step 6
Therefore, experienced owners of trucking companies advise buying foreign cars with a carrying capacity of more than 1.5 tons. Initially, you will have to invest 1.5-2 times more than in domestic cars, but the costs will pay off with a long service life without frequent breakdowns and lower fuel consumption. You can buy cars for a trucking company using your own funds, using a loan or leasing.
Step 7
If you are going to do serious business by purchasing several expensive trucks, then it is better to register as a legal entity. After all, you will carry out road transportation between cities, which means that the goods will have to be insured. And this will be quite expensive for an individual entrepreneur.
