First contact the state of incorporation because there's a legal process to starting a business regardless of what it is. Then you have to consult with the DMV to get the necessary license for your business since you will be operating as a fleet and you will need a CDL license if you're driving. Plus anyone you hire to work for you should have a clean driving record that's free of accidents and DUI/DWIs and do some research on different insurance companies and get estimates for fleet insurance. First and foremost you need to decide is your trucking company going to be local or cross country, but company is based out of Georgia. Sit down and start planning how you are going to do this. If you have questions regarding the licensing of trucks call the Department of Transportation and the DMV to get your questions answered of what you need in terms of paperwork to file for licensing a fleet. Then you also have to look at the cost of purchasing a fleet of trucks usually Ford can get you an estimate of what it will cost to purchase a fleet and you want to also ask how often do fleets have to change and get new vehicles because if you're running a trucking company your trucks will run more mileage than the average car depending on the kind of trucking your company will be doing. It all really depends on how you want it because it could be a semi or a regular truck. Just do your homework and let everything else fall into place. You may also need to contact the FMCSA to determine if you need to obtain an MC number, DOT number and BOC-3 Processing Agent. There is a web site that I know of where you can have them complete these activities for you for a fee. You will also need minimum insurance limits based on federal requirements. The link to the FMCSA is http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/. Good luck. Your state insurance department is your best resource for insurance-related questions and concerns. Find information on insurance companies and agents, rate quotes and comparisons, insurance buying tips, claims filing information and much more!
