Introduction To Road Haulage
For Aspiring Transport Managers or Operators
OUTLINE |
Regardless of the motivation for many, the desire to start their own haulage firm, own their own trucks and be their own boss is a strong motivator for many.
​
There is a roughish excitement to being "the boss" and parking your hardware in the yard, but this industry is fraught with issues, has many regulations and requirements and is an expensive game to get wrong.
​
So here we have put together a small subset of lessons from our Transport Manager's course for aspiring transport managers and/or operators giving you a little glimpse into some of the issues you are likely to face when initiating the first few steps into this sector. This includes some of the legal issues you are going to have to face before a wheel turns, and more importantly before some of the hard earned cash comes back into your bank account
