So you’ve decided to start a trucking company.  You’ve applied for your Federal Employer Identification Number, leased facilities, and come up with a catchy business name.  First of all, let me congratulate you on getting a business started.  Secondly, let me remind you that your work is hardly over – in fact, it’s only just begun.  Even if you have a fleet of 100 trucks ready to go with thousands of loads needing to be transported, you still have a few steps ahead of you before you can legally transport goods across the country, or even across the state.

The transportation of hazardous materials is a necessity to this country’s infrastructure, but one that gets exploited all too often.  The training of the drivers and the licensing that is required to legally transport hazardous cargo across the country is expensive and time consuming.  Unfortunately, many truck drivers transport hazardous cargo without obtaining the proper licensing and trucking authority.

The trucking industry has evolved greatly over the last 50 or so years.  New regulations have been imposed on drivers and their fleets, testing and recertification of your CDL is now more frequent, and getting ahead with your small trucking company is just as hard as ever.  Every truck driver on the road today needs to have a list of resources that will assist them in their day-to-day operations, make a cross country haul a little easier, or maybe just provide an escape from the long hours on the road.
