Outs Logistics LLC | Application Preview
Outs Logistics LLC is seeking government funding to establish and grow a hotshot trucking business. The funding will be used to acquire a truck and trailer, as well as to secure necessary insurance and supplies.
The business plan outlines a five-year growth strategy that includes adding a second truck, trailer, and driver while maximizing operations within the hours of service regulations set by the Department of Transportation. The owner anticipates tripling her income during this period.
The applicant emphasizes her unique position as a driven woman of color in the trucking industry, which has a low representation of female drivers and even fewer women of color. She aims to demonstrate that women can successfully own and operate trucking companies.
In terms of competition, she identifies her main rivals as large, male-owned corporations that often impose unrealistic deadlines on drivers, limiting opportunities for customer engagement. Her competitive advantage lies in her ability to focus on building strong customer relationships and effectively marketing her services as a one-person operation.

Business Plan
In the next 5 years I plan to have added a second truck, trailer, and driver. I'm expecting to have both trucks running to full HOS stated by DOT regulations. I expect to have tripled my income in the next five years. I am a driven woman of color who is familiar with the trucking industry. There's a small percentage of female drivers and an even smaller amount of women of color. I plan to show that women can own trucking companies and be very successful.

Self Identified Competition
My top three competitors are male owned large corporations. Often times large companies have unrealistic deadlines to meet. Which causes drivers to not have time to engage with the customer. I am a one person business that has the time to meet with and build customer relationships. I am able to network effectively and market my business.
