You've been driving someone else's truck long enough to know the owner makes more per mile than you do — and the gap only closes if you own the authority.
This guidebook covers the MC authority setup, the load board strategy, the factoring system, and the fleet scaling path from 1 truck to 10. CDL to authority to company.
The road is real. The business behind it is what you build.
No. The book is written so a complete beginner can read page one and walk into an apprenticeship or first job knowing exactly what to expect. If you're already in the trade, the business and scaling sections are where the real value is.
Licensing chapters cover the path in every state, with the relevant regulator, exam, and reciprocity rules. Business setup and marketing chapters are U.S.-focused but generally applicable.
Digital PDF — instant download, readable on any device. Add a hardcover (printed and shipped) or audiobook MP3 add-ons available at launch. Lifetime updates on all digital formats.
