Moving cargo efficiently is the foundation of modern commerce and small and mid-sized transportation businesses form the critical middle layer that keeps supply chains from collapsing between the big players. This category covers the SMB side of cargo and transportation: owner-operator trucking businesses, small freight brokerage firms, specialty cargo carriers, regional courier services, and logistics businesses built around specific commodities or industries. Stories tackle the operational realities of running a transportation business with limited scale: fuel cost management, driver recruitment and retention, insurance costs, and the challenge of winning freight from shippers who default to larger carriers. You’ll read from owner-operators who built real fleets, small freight brokers who found profitable niches, and transportation entrepreneurs navigating a market that’s more technology-driven than it used to be.
