I’d like to introduce myself; my name is James Best and I’ve been in the trucking business since 2015. I started as a company guy with Schneider, home every day, running the Wal-Mart account. I’ve always had the Entrepreneurial spirit and always strive to push myself to the next level. So, after two years I decided to become an owner operator. I had the credit and the business sense to be able to purchase a truck but was uncertain whether I, or my family, would like the life style of over the road trucking so I went with a Lease Purchase, with this if I found the life style was not for “us” then I could simply give the truck back with a small monetary penalty. After running OTR for 3 months we found that the life style wasn’t as bad as we feared, so we decided to comit to the business and purchased a truck. Weeks later I had a friend offer me an opportunity to run the spot market under his authority, though I was comfortable where I was at, I couldn’t refuse the opportunity. Two years later I got my own authority and become a carrier, Best Motor Carriers, LLC, MC# 1089747. Months later I realized that trying to get customers as a one truck one trailer operation was very difficult, so I opened a brokerage, Best Logistics, LLC, MC# 1119651, now I could commit to moving more than just one load at a time.
