Does anybody know some funding options for a new haulage company? Planning on getting my own lorry, but could use

One...I wouldn't at the moment.
Two...very doubtful you need alot of money to start up to cover everything then more to cover you for fuel etc for the first (however long it takes to get invoices paid can be 90 days)
If it's something you really want to do try a business bank loan or failing that Rob a bank

When was the last time a bank gave a loan to a start-up haulage business...or any start up for that matter?

your point is? How do you think Hayden Chilled got as big as it did with brand new motors sure as hell wasn't profit, so, they owe millions

spoken like a true banker

I started off without a pot too piss in. Not doing too bad now so it can be done

Get your TM license before you do anything else.
Find a yard which is cheap.
Work out your customer base and margins.
But honestly. Do your transport managers course before anything else. Even if you’re planning on being the only driver.

Best advise i have heard so far, Yes keep cost Down.
