If you want to start a trucking company you're gonna need a name if you think that you can just pick a name, register it, and it's done we're sorry to tell you that it's actually not that simple. There are some small naming requirements. But don't worry! That's why we have a few easy do's and don'ts to help you find the perfect name for your trucking company. The first do is to include the company designation in the name of your trucking company if you're setting your trucking company up as a corporation, LLC, or a limited partnership. Your state might require it putting your company designation helps your customers know what kind of business they're working with and avoids confusion some of these examples would be LLC, Corp, Inc, and Ltd. The first don't don't use a common or cliche name something like, Hello semi-fast transportation how can I help you? Two trucking companies operating within the same state can't have the same name or even one that's too similar. How are you supposed to know if the name you've chosen is too similar? You can check your state's database to make sure that your name won't be rejected. The next do imagine the name of your trucking company on the side of a truck, on paperwork, or in an email. Also what would it sound like saying it over the phone? Hello this is Frankie with Francisco Louis Ledesma Jr. Transportation calling about my latest invoice. Think about it as if you're already running your business can you say the name easily over the phone? Is it hard to spell or pronounce? What abbreviations are there? Making things as easy as possible might benefit you and your customers in the long-run. What you don't want to do is use illegible fonts when creating your company logo. When you're getting ready to put your logo on your truck make sure that you use a font that's easy to read. It's a good idea to avoid script fonts or fonts with a lot of little details. I still have one more do and don't but first, I want to know, do you want to start a trucking company but don't know where to start? The Apex Startup Program can help!
