NAICS: 488 Support Activities for Transportation Description: Freight Forward Services |
| I had been working for a company in a similar field. I knew that owning your own company was a personal goal I wanted. The company that I worked for was going to be bought out or closed. This gave me a chance to approach the owner and ask if I could start my trucking company while still working for him. This was huge because I wasn't under any pressure to succeed for survive I was able to ask many questions and get his views on how to proceed. My initial goals were to grow and maintain my business, while finding independence. |
