Top 5 Ways To Make Money With Your Truck or Van

The transportation industry is one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy, netting billions of dollars each year. Truck and van owners who are looking to turn their asset into a business have lots of options to choose from. Here are 4 different business opportunities for truck and van owners to start making money right away.

Retail Delivery

Retailers fighting to compete with Amazon are always looking for help with last mile delivery. Although larger stores may already have their own service available there are always smaller businesses, such as hardware stores, appliance shops, and consignment centers, that need hauling and delivery services. Check with local retailers to see if you can be of assistance with your truck. They typically require that you carry commercial insurance in order to qualify.

Moving items is often a tedious and demanding task that often requires a truck and muscle. Offer your truck and a helping hand to those who need it! You can make great hourly rates if you’re up for the hard work.
