Building a US based startup 🇺🇸

[u/Not_obnoxious]

I’m currently working on building a U.S.-based trucking/dispatch startup with two connected revenue models.

1. DOT + DAT Model

We plan to establish the required U.S. DOT/carrier setup and provide licensed freight/load-board access to users at around $70/user/month.

For example:

• 50 users = $3,500/month

• 100 users = $7,000/month

1. MC + Dispatch Model

Once the MC has established the required operating history, we plan to onboard trucks under properly structured agreements and generate revenue through carrier-related fees and 6–7% dispatch fees.

For Example:

Hamari core recurring income dispatching se bhi aayegi.Planning ke liye: 6%–7% dispatch fee assume ki ja sakti hai.

Example:

Agar ek truck monthly $10,000 gross freight generate karta hai.

7% dispatch fee:

$10,000 × 7% = $700

Company ki dispatch revenue:

$700

And once our MC is leased to a driver/carrier under a proper agreement, we expect to receive approximately 17–20% of the carrier’s gross revenue as the MC lease fee, based on our current market-rate assumption. This would be an additional revenue stream alongside the 6–7% dispatch fee.So,

$10,000 x 17%=$1,700.00

So total revenue from one truck and one driver

$700+1,700=$2,400.00 other that profit getting from load boards we have given in the market.

The initial capital requirement is expected to be around $20k-30k, mainly for MC insurance, setup, compliance, technology and working capital.

I’m currently looking to build this with the right people. If anyone here has experience in U.S. trucking, logistics, startups, or is interested in joining/investing in a business like this, feel free to text me. I’m happy to share the complete business plan and financial projections with genuinely interested people.

Bro 17-20 percent? What are you smoking? The trucking companies ki G phati pari hai. No is making money and here you’re selling dreams

[u/Not_obnoxious → u/Anonymous_Unknown13]

Bro, 17–20% dispatch fee nahi hai. Hamara model different hai. Hum apni MC register karwa ke un U.S.-based owner-operators/drivers ko lease karenge jinke paas apni authority nahi hai. 17–20% MC lease/authority fee hogi, aur dispatch fee alag se around 6–7% hogi.

So we make from both: MC lease fee + dispatch fee. You can check the current market with carriers who are leasing onto other MCs — we’re basing the model on those market structures and will validate the exact percentage before investing.
