There are many ways of launching a profitable transportation service, whether you wish to start a long-haul operation or just a service that’s within the town. Discussed here are 3 different ways you can get started in the transportation industry in the USA.
Uber Taxi Service
Irrespective of being controversial and claimed of having an unfair competition, the American multinational transportation network company Uber has staked its claim all over the world. Uber’s attraction as a small business opportunity is basically you being an independent contractor and having your own respective schedule. For signing up as a driver, you will have to visit Uber’s website and click on the button of ‘Become a Driver’. By becoming Uber’s driver, you’ll ride your own vehicle, which means startup costs are quite low. Uber would handle all your ride’s financial aspects and payment to you would be made on a weekly basis. Being an independent contractor, the driver takes on the overhead costs themselves.
Speciality Transportation
Specialising in a definite type of unusual transportation – very huge items like modular houses, aeroplane parts or human organs, blood or refrigerated perishables – may generate a healthy income. You may not have a huge client base but will be able to charge high rates for the expertise that you have. Depending on the place where you are located would dictate whether you will be able to do the business all by yourself or require employees.
Car Transportation
Transporting cars is another speciality business, which you can start upon. But you need to keep your prices low and become known in the industry for taking good care of the cars that you transport. The startup funding for car transport is modest but may be higher than what we think. For starting this business you will need a car hauler. If you want to transport 5 cars at a time, you need to buy a 5 car hauler but if you want to transport 6 cars at a time, then 6 car hauler should be your choice. There are many
companies in the USA that offer car haulers for sale and can help you finance your car hauler.
So, what are you waiting for? If you want to start a lucrative business and earn a handsome amount of money every month, start any one of these transportation businesses. You’re sure to have profits if you do it strategically.
