Avoid the headaches of managing your business finances by following this effortless approach It's an exciting time to be part of the trucking industry--hauling over 80% of the country's total cargo, and projected to continue its strong performance in the years to come. As a new business owner, it's natural to prioritize sales, loads, and getting your business noticed. But neglecting to set up the financial side of your business is effectively setting yourself up for failure. Not knowing if you're running out of cash, or if your price covers all your costs, means that you don't know whether you're making money or not. And a business that doesn't keep tabs on how much money they're making (or losing) won't be able to survive that long. In fact, 85% of new trucking companies fail to reach their second year, partly due to problems with managing costs. If you don't want your business to end up the same way, it's essential that you're able to get your finances in order. However, with all the information, paperwork, and rules involved in running a transport business, it's easy to lose track of what you need to monitor.

At the height of the Great Depression a number of leading U.S. economists advanced a proposal for monetary reform that became known as the Chicago Plan. It envisaged the separation of the monetary and credit functions of the banking system, by requiring 100% reserve backing for deposits. Irving Fisher (1936) claimed the following advantages for this plan: (1) Much better control of a major source of business cycle fluctuations, sudden increases and contractions of bank credit and of the supply of bank-created money. (2) Complete elimination of bank runs. (3) Dramatic reduction of the (net) public debt. (4) Dramatic reduction of private debt, as money creation no longer requires simultaneous debt creation. We study these claims by embedding a comprehensive and carefully calibrated model of the banking system in a DSGE model of the U.S. economy. We find support for all four of Fisher's claims. Furthermore, output gains approach 10 percent, and steady state inflation can drop to zero without posing problems for the conduct of monetary policy.

Commerce meets conquest in this swashbuckling story of the six merchant-adventurers who built the modern world It was an era when monopoly trading companies were the unofficial agents of European expansion, controlling vast numbers of people and huge tracts of land, and taking on governmental and military functions. They managed their territories as business interests, treating their subjects as employees, customers, or competitors. The leaders of these trading enterprises exercised virtually unaccountable, dictatorial political power over millions of people. The merchant kings of the Age of Heroic Commerce were a rogue's gallery of larger-than-life men who, for a couple hundred years, expanded their far-flung commercial enterprises over a sizable portion of the world. They include Jan Pieterszoon Coen, the violent and autocratic pioneer of the Dutch East India Company; Peter Stuyvesant, the one-legged governor of the Dutch West India Company, whose narrow-minded approach lost Manhattan to the British; Robert Clive, who rose from company clerk to become head of the British East India Company and one of the wealthiest men in Britain; Alexandr Baranov of the Russian American Company; Cecil Rhodes, founder of De Beers and Rhodesia; and George Simpson, the "Little Emperor" of the Hudson's Bay Company, who was chauffeured about his vast fur domain in a giant canoe, exhorting his voyageurs to paddle harder so he could set speed records. Merchant Kings looks at the rise and fall of company rule in the centuries before colonialism, when nations belatedly assumed responsibility for their commercial enterprises. A blend of biography, corporate history, and colonial history, this book offers a panoramic, new perspective on the enormous cultural, political, and social legacies, good and bad, of this first period of unfettered globalization.

Big Rig Business Startup How to Start, Run & Grow a Successful Trucking Company After losing my corporate job in 2008, I went through the toughest time of my life. At the time my wife pregnant with our third child, and my monthly unemployment check wasn't enough to cover our house and two car notes. In desperation, I decided to go to a local trucking school and get my CDL. I found my first driving job a week after I got out of school. I still remember my first paycheck was just $55 shy of what I was making at my corporate desk job. I was hysteric, I was happy, I knew this was my new found life and freedom, and no one was going to take it away from me. Long story short, after two years of working for other companies, I decided to start my own trucking company, and I started out as an owner-operator. In 2013, I decided it was time for me to grow and time for me to get off the road and spend some time with my kids. This was when I entered the second phase of my business life. I started to buy one tractor every three months as I was hiring great drivers that are professional, family oriented and serious about making money. By 2016 I had 12 trucks on the road, and this is also the year when my net earning passed $350,000 mark. To me, the 350K mark was always a benchmark, why? Because I knew that was the salary of the CEO of the company, I used to work for. Last year, I received a call from a business broker, who asked me for a 10-minute meeting. He had brought an offer from a big trucking company, to buy my company. But I didn't even remotely think about selling my company. Instead, I was talking to the bank and was in the process of finalizing a loan for four new tractors with trailers. Once again, long story short, after I refused their initial offer, they came back with an offer that no reasonable man can refuse, and I consider myself a very reasonable man. The income potential is truly amazing and yes, if you can hire the right people, you will not only see significant growth, high net income but the satisfaction that you don't get from many other jobs and businesses. What I shared in this book, are the steps I went through myself, I wrote from my own experience and shared a step by step process that is easy and simple to follow, and best of all you can get started with very little funding. Here is a Quick View of What I Discussed Inside This Book 5 Factors to Consider Before Starting Your New Trucking Business How to Get CDL, DOT and Carrier Authority Number How to Obtain a Unified Carrier Registration How to Get International Registration Plan tag & Fuel Tax Agreement Decal Filing a BOC-3 Form Obtaining a Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC) Business Plan for Your New Trucking Company Six Legal Business Structures to Choose From How to Get an EIN From IRS A Business Plan That is Specific to Your Trucking Business Finding & Buying the Right Tractors and Rigs How to Find Financing, Grants & Loans for Your Business What and How to Get Business Via the Load Boards Types of Freights You Should Consider Daily Administration and Operation of Your Trucking Business Maintenance of Your Tractors How to Hire and Retain Great Drivers What and How to Reap Benefits of Fuel Cards How to Market and Grow your new Trucking Business And so much More.
