About the Author
The Courier Business Insider

I built a courier company from the ground up into an Inc. 500 ranked business — #175 overall, #3 in the Houston metro, and #10 in logistics and transportation nationwide. After 27 years in this industry, I've seen every mistake a new operator can make. I wrote this series so you don't have to make them.

These books aren't theory. They're the exact steps, regulations, and strategies I wish I had when I started — state by state, current as of 2026, written in plain language for the independent operator starting with one vehicle and a work ethic.

🚚

Built for Small Operators
