"I wish I had something like this when I was launching my own company. Everything is written in such clear and simple language that even those with no prior knowledge of the trucking industry can follow it with ease.

"I almost spent hundreds on a consultant to help me start my trucking company. I so glad I didn't. Not only did Haul Intel's guide make it ridiculously easy for me to do it on my own, I gained expertise on topics that I never even considered.  I highly recommend this guide for aspiring entrepreneurs and even people already in the industry.
