Instructions
Step 1
Purchase a truck. As a rule, entrepreneurs start a business with one car, and only then purchase the rest. Although, if the budget allows, you can buy several cars at once.
Step 2
Register as an individual entrepreneur or an individual entrepreneur. Registration must be done with the tax office.
Step 3
Contact the licensing authority to obtain permission to do business in the field of movement of goods (in the field of cargo transportation). After writing an application and submitting all documents to the licensing authority, you must pay the license fees. The license will be issued within thirty days from the date of submission of documents.
Step 4
Hire a driver. If there is only one car, then an entrepreneur can be a driver at the same time. If there are several cars, you cannot do without chauffeur services.
Step 5
Find a dispatcher. In the media and on the Internet, you can find a dispatcher who, for a fee, will attract customers. The fact is that dispatching services are placing advertisements, announcements to find new customers. When the client calls the dispatcher, he explains the parameters of the cargo and the driver's tasks, after which the dispatcher calls his partners, looking for a suitable company to fulfill the order.
Step 6
Find additional staff. Often, when transporting goods, related services are required - loading, unloading, packaging of goods. If these services are provided in a freight forwarding company, its popularity will increase, because customers do not have to look for loaders on their own, and this will significantly save time.
