General Motor Freight Trucking Business Plan


General Motor Freight Trucking Business Plan


Timely Trucking, a new medium and long-haul dry van transport business, was founded in Portland, Oregon by Jim Kerrigan. Timely Trucking will serve businesses in the Pacific Northwest (eventually expanding to include Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming) with freight hauling and logistics management services. Timely Trucking will be known for providing timely and accurate service, as well as sophisticated Web- and software functionality that allows clients to automatically align their business with Timely Trucking’s services and schedules. Jim Kerrigan (CEO) and a Chief Operation Officer will manage the company.

Timely Trucking can easily be launched with an investment of Jim Kerrigan or some investment by other investors. The business will begin with three 18-wheeler truck trucks. By the end of its third-year, it will expand to include eight 18wheeler trucks. Auto loans will finance this expansion. As the business grows, gross margins of around 60% will allow for substantial profit by the third-year.

Beyond three years, the business will seek to expand to additional bases of operation in the Northwest and to add trucks with refrigerated and temperature-controlled trailers. The company will be available for sale by a national freight-hauling business looking to expand in or add operations to the Northwest.
