Private trucking is in greater demand than the services of large companies. Most often, the transported cargo is small and does not weigh much. The owner of a small truck does not ask dearly for his work. Shops, offices and even some manufacturing enterprises use the services of private road carriers.

A car that is inexpensive to maintain and economical in fuel consumption may well become our domestic Gazelle. If you have the money to buy this reliable and irreplaceable vehicle, then this article is for you. We will take a closer look at how work is built on your cargo gazelle and how to organize it correctly.

How to start a cargo transportation business at GAZelle

Initially, you need to decide on the model of the car body. It is known from practice that food products are most often transported in small batches. Customers of such services are small shops, cafes, restaurants and wholesalers. To satisfy their needs, you will need a refrigerator or thermal box. Cars that are capable of transporting perishable food without harming them are in demand. To be convinced of this, just look at the ads in your region.

For any cargo transportation, logistics is important. A correctly constructed route is the key to the profitability of this business. It is especially important to anticipate traffic jams and possible blockages. They lead to unnecessary fuel consumption, and, consequently, reduce the profit of the entrepreneur. These points are important for large metropolitan areas. In small towns and rural areas, you just need to create the shortest route in order to satisfy all customers on time, with the least loss of time and money.

It is easier to make money on your “Gazelle” or “Sobol” when cooperation with the dispatcher is established. They will have to pay 10-20% for the services of finding clients, but this work has its fruits. The positive side of the business on your Gazelle is that in Moscow and other cities such a vehicle is allowed to travel along the central streets of the city. Another advantage is that almost all models can run on gas. Even if there is no such installation, then the car is easy to convert.

How much can you earn on cargo transportation on GAZelles

Here are some numbers that will help you understand how to make money on Gazelles, and most importantly, how much? So, on your car, you plan to earn 1 thousand rubles a day. This amount is minimal, since in practice the income can be 10 thousand rubles. Not all this money will be the profit of the owner of his car. Some of them should be given to the dispatcher, some - for refueling. The costs of renovation and advertising of the business will be equally distributed for each transaction.

Prices for services on your car are calculated according to these rules. In the city - payment is hourly, and outside the city - for mileage. Within the boundaries of the settlement, they usually take 350-400 rubles per hour of work. Rates for 1 km range from 12-14 rubles. Don't forget about regular customers, loyalty programs and promotions. For example, it is generally accepted that if the distance exceeds 250 km outside the city limits, then the price can be negotiated.

We will summarize all the information in the table:

Such simple calculations can be made taking into account the consumption of gas in the form of fuel. You can plan your activities for the next few years and calculate how much your own Gazelle will pay off. In the long term, you can foresee the costs of advertising, repairs, maintenance and storing your car.

To answer the question of how much profit you can get by working in your garage, you need to consider the following factors:

• location (region of residence, village or city);
• garage area;
• availability of additional resources (agricultural land, garden, reservoir, etc.);
• education and specialty of a business organizer;
• direction of activity;
• start-up capital and the ability to use additional sources of funding.

If we take the average indicators of such areas of commercial activity as service station, tire fitting, repair of household appliances or furniture production, then we can safely count on a monthly profit of 500 to 2000 thousand dollars. But in business, you cannot give one hundred percent guarantees about income, if you do not have complete information about all the nuances of your business.

Preparation of documents for the implementation of cargo transportation on a commercial basis

The owner of the Gazelle, who decides to engage in entrepreneurial activity, must draw up the IP documents (registration of an LLC, in this case, does not make sense) with the Federal Tax Service. To do this, he needs to pay a state fee, make photocopies of his passport and TIN, and write a corresponding statement. The entire package of documents is handed over to the tax inspector, and in three days the papers will be ready to allow cargo transportation on a commercial basis.

What OKVED to indicate for cargo transportation on GAZelles

Do not forget to indicate the code of your activity in the application! For road freight transport - this is OKVED 49.41.

Experienced entrepreneurs working in the field of cargo transportation strongly recommend purchasing not only compulsory OSAGO insurance, but also not sparing money on buying a voluntary policy (CASCO). In addition, you must have the following documents:

• driver's license;
• vehicle registration certificate;
• documents for the carriage of goods ( waybills, consignment notes).

Do I need permission to open a trucking business at GAZelle

If the entrepreneur hires a driver, they must enter into an employment contract. To provide freight carrier services on your Gazelle no need to issue special permits and licenses.

Which tax regime to choose

The best option for an entrepreneur who is engaged in cargo transportation is UTII. This taxation system allows not only saving on compulsory payments to the state treasury, but also makes it possible to independently engage in accounting (no need to pay salary to an accountant). In order to become a payer of UTII, it is necessary to write a corresponding application and submit it to the Federal Tax Service, along with registration documents.

If according to some criteria (income, number of employees) you cannot work for UTII, then a simplified taxation system would be a good alternative. Its advantages: no difficulties with the preparation of reports to the Federal Tax Service, a small financial burden on the activities of the company and the possibility of independent accounting. accounting. With the simplified tax system, you can pay 6% of revenue or 15% of profit before tax. An important point! Choosing the second method of calculating tax liabilities, take care of the availability of documents that confirm the amount of accounted costs.

What is the article about?

Every day, thousands of people need cargo transportation. Despite a large number of transportation companies, many customers prefer to turn to private drivers. This is due to the fact that their prices are somewhat lower, and besides there is no need to wait for a long time truck... The demand for services and a huge number of orders speak of development prospects own business in this niche. Let's talk about how to make money on GAZelles, and about the features of this type of activity.

Is it profitable to engage in cargo transportation on your GAZelle?

As practice shows, it is profitable to engage in cargo transportation on your GAZelle, and there is indisputable evidence of this. First of all, it should be emphasized that such a car is adapted for driving on domestic roads. In addition, spare parts and components for the truck can be easily purchased in specialized stores and car markets. The GAZelle is very convenient to use for unloading and loading operations, which is facilitated by a spacious platform and folding sides. The car can easily drive up to the overpass or the entrance of a residential building for further stowage and transportation of cargo. There are many modifications of GAZelles that allow you to transport both bulky items weighing up to 5 tons, and perishable foodstuffs that require special storage conditions.

In service, it is GAZelles that are the cheapest cars in Russia among small-tonnage trucks. For this reason, they are very popular with drivers and entrepreneurs. Car repair is inexpensive, so it is profitable to maintain such transport from the point of view of doing business. Many car owners who carry out commercial cargo transportation install HBO on the GAZelle, which can significantly save on fuel consumption. The vehicle has proven its high maneuverability not only in urban conditions, but also on rough terrain. This allows you to quickly fulfill orders and deliver goods at the agreed time.

For transportation of household appliances, office equipment and furniture, GAZelles are the best option - it is not for nothing that most customers prefer them. If a budding businessman plans to make money with this car, this choice will be the best.

What services can be provided at GAZelles?

Before starting cargo transportation and starting to earn money, an entrepreneur needs to decide on a list of services that he will provide to customers. The simplest and at the same time the most popular option is cooperation with a dispatching company. Such a service works on the principle of a taxi: operators find an application, send it to the driver, and he fulfills the order. This method has several advantages:

• the presence of a large flow of orders;
• the possibility of simultaneous cooperation with several dispatch services;
• no need to spend a lot of money on advertising.

In cooperation with the dispatcher, the driver pays the service up to 10% of the cost of the application. In addition, you can offer your services to large transport companiesspecializing in cargo transportation (they need light vehicles to fulfill various requests).

Great amount orders are carried out by drivers for the transportation of furniture and household appliances. This is especially true of office and apartment moves, which are carried out daily in settlements. The entrepreneur will not hurt to know that it will not be possible to provide such services on his own, since he will need a partner to assist in the transfer, loading and forwarding of the order.

Important: when carrying out targeted transportation, the customer and the contractor must draw up a liability agreement. If a valuable cargo is to be transported, it is subject to insurance.

Online stores also often use low-tonnage services. freight vehicles... A businessman can independently monitor these commercial organizations in his city and offer them cooperation. Most settlements have small manufacturing enterprises. They often do not have their own vehicle fleet, so they need carriers. It can be:

• furniture factories;
• confectionery shops;
• sausage and meat factories;
• companies for the production of bricks and paving slabs.

It is enough for the driver to start cooperating with several such companies, which will ensure stable profits and permanent job... It is also worth contacting trading companies that sell food products. They all need freight transport... Usually, entrepreneurs are required to deliver orders to retail stores in the city (region), wholesale depots and supermarkets.

The services of the cargo GAZelle are actively used by firms specializing in the delivery of drinking water. Most organizations buy it, so there will be no problems with orders. Bottled water does not spoil and is easily transported to destinations. As for the frequency of delivery, it is needed several times a week. This allows you to combine this work with other orders.

Despite the difficult economic situation in the country, many people build private houses and renovate their homes. For their implementation, you cannot do without transporting materials and various equipment. In this case, it is beneficial to cooperate with construction teams that deliver everything you need to carry out work on the sites. A businessman needs to find several teams of workers and offer them cooperation. You can also discuss your services with companies in the construction markets, where trucks are always required to deliver orders to customers.

A good option for using the GAZelle would be to conduct off-site trade. In remote areas and villages, there are quite often interruptions with such types of provisions as:

• meat and sausage products;
• fresh bakery;
• dairy products and cheeses.

To deal with their delivery, you will have to take care of the availability of appropriate documents and certificates. How else can you make money on cargo transportation? Many people own GAZelles, which they do not use due to their workload (or they simply do not know how to organize a business correctly). The way out of this situation is to rent a truck. Businessmen who, for example, sell firewood, purchase and deliver livestock, sell vegetables in season, etc. will benefit from it. If we take the average rental rates, then the amount will be 2 thousand rubles for 1 day. It is easy to assume that a month can run from 60 thousand rubles, while the owner of the vehicle will not have to make much effort. In addition to transporting goods, an entrepreneur can specialize in passenger transportation. The most profitable option is to place your car on a city route.

Various companies and organizations order GAZelle for trips out of town or for meetings with business partners at train stations or airports. In addition, the car can be used for organizing weddings, funerals and other events.

How to make money on GAZelles?

Let's analyze the main stages in more detail.

Buying a car

We have considered the most popular and promising types of services that can be provided to the population while earning good money. For these purposes, you will need to select a GAZelle of the appropriate modification with certain technical characteristics.

To deliver food that needs to be stored in all conditions (dairy products, sausages), you should purchase a refrigerator. The car has a special box that allows you to set a certain temperature regime (heating and cooling). It is profitable to purchase "Refrigerator" for the reason that most manufacturers and trading companies need the services of drivers and specialized transport. In the media, you will be able to find a large number of announcements that enterprises require drivers with their own refrigerated trucks. As for the cost of transportation on such a truck, it is 550 rubles per hour.

A businessman can provide similar services having a car with an isothermal booth. Its body is insulated with polyurethane foam filler, which ensures that the required temperature is maintained. The cost of renting a car for 1 hour is 400 rubles.

GAZelle on a low platform (all-metal) is equipped with folding sides, which provides easy loading of any items and equipment. You can also purchase tilt modifications to fulfill various orders for targeted transportation (furniture, household appliances). The rates are 400 rubles per hour of use.

"GAZelle-pyramid" is used for transportation of metal-plastic windows and glass. On the platform of such a truck, an appropriate structure is installed, equipped with fastening devices (belts, lanyards, clamps, clamps). It will start to earn from 550 rubles per hour. To transport furniture (office, apartment moving), you can use a GAZelle with a regular or extended platform. The body capacity must be at least 10 m2. Usually, such cars are equipped with upholstery made of soft material, which excludes mechanical damage to the transported goods. Also pay attention to the Next modification. It is suitable for almost any type of cargo transportation.

Important: you can buy a new car for 1-1.5 million rubles. Newbie entrepreneurs often wonder which car is better to buy - new or used. The answer will be unambiguous - new. The fact is that most of the GAZelles that have been in operation for some time are unsuitable for further work.

Business registration

To legally take orders for cargo transportation, organize an agricultural business on your site or open a production, you will have to register your undertaking. In this case, an individual entrepreneur will be sufficient. To do this, you must contact the department of the Federal Tax Service at the place of residence and submit the appropriate application and documents:

• passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
• check for payment of state duty (0.8 thousand rubles).

When registering a business, you will need to decide on the OKVED codes. To work at your GAZelle, it is recommended to indicate 49.41 "Freight transport activities" and 49.41 "Providing transportation services" (they are suitable for the implementation of passenger and freight transport). As for the taxation system, a businessman can choose the best option - UTII.

Advertising campaign

A businessman's profit will depend on the number of customers. What needs to be done to learn about a young enterprise maximum amount person? We recommend using traditional advertising tools for a start. You can start your marketing campaign by self-posting freight ads. You should also submit information for distribution to organizations such as:

• print publishers;
• city \u200b\u200bTV channels;
• radio.

It makes sense to contact an advertising agency. Specialists at the best price will develop effective ways business promotion and implement them. If required, professionals will come up with a company name that brings good luck and a large number of customers.

Today it is difficult to imagine the full-fledged conduct of any business without direct participation in the Internet. To do this, it does not hurt to have a business card site and pages in social networks. It is very easy to find the first customers here - it is enough to choose the necessary thematic publics. On your resource you should place information about yourself, a list of services, prices and contact information. Do not forget about city forums and electronic message boards where you can find your target audience (these tools are also recommended for businessmen who want, for example, to make money on real estate).

Over time, a large number of people will learn about you, because customers will spread information about the carrier among themselves, and there will be much more customers. The costs at this stage of business organization will amount to about 30 thousand rubles.

Where to get orders for cargo transportation?

We have discussed the main tools for attracting customers above. Also, it is imperative to visit the dispatching services, production and trade organizations of the settlement, which are primarily interested in cooperation with the owners of trucks. It does not hurt to place information about yourself as a carrier in the city directory of companies.

How much can you earn on a GAZelle per month?

Unlike such types of entrepreneurial activities as, for example, the maintenance of a self-service car wash, cargo transportation using a GAZelle has become quite widespread in our country. For this reason, there is a lot of competition in this area. Despite this, the business has good prospects and is capable of generating considerable profits.

The driver will always be provided with a large number of orders in cooperation with dispatch services and city enterprises. In this case, you can count on a net profit in the range of 40-50 thousand rubles per month. This will allow you to take out a loan and purchase another truck, which will bring much more income.

As you can see, working on your own GAZelle can bring decent profit. The main thing is to properly organize the activities and provide flawless services for cargo transportation.

Freight transport services appeared as soon as the wheel was invented. Since then, the demand for cargo transportation has never dropped. Isn't it a stable business? On the other hand, strong competition in this niche has practically reduced profits to zero. On the other hand, cargo transportation via the Internet is only gaining momentum - there are more clients than competitors. And this should be used.

One of the most popular types of cargo transportation is trucking. It's fast and convenient; flexible route planning; high efficiency and complete independence from external factors. There would be a road or a direction, and the driver would pass. As it was sung in the famous song - you are not afraid of rain or slush ... hold on tightly to the wheel of the driver.

Cargo transportation is an essential service for small, medium-sized businesses and individuals... Delivery of oversized cargo, moving or repairing, delivering goods or finished products - everything depends on transportation. That is, the demand is stable. Therefore, any owner of a little truck capable of transporting goods aspires to this niche. Moreover, to start such a business, in addition to having a working truck, you only need to register an individual entrepreneur. The client pays for the services of loaders according to a separate price list.

Since November 2013, all vehicles weighing up to 3.5 tons and with a capacity of up to 8 seats (including the driver) have been included in subcategory "B". Thus, to control a cargo GAZelle, it is sufficient to have rights with an open category "B".

That is, any owner (and, by compatibility, a driver) of a truck can open a cargo transportation business. In the European part of Russia, the most popular vehicle for private cargo transportation is the GAZelle; in the rest of the country, representatives of Chinese, Japanese or korean car industry... Prices are relatively the same: new ones - around 1 million rubles, supported ones can be found for 300-500 thousand rubles, in the appropriate condition. For greater savings, all light trucks must be converted to gas fuel. Most new cars are equipped with gas equipment directly at the factory.

But, as practice shows, the most difficult thing in this niche is finding clients. Someone, focusing on a private trader, "occupies" places near construction hypermarkets and furniture shopping centers... Obsessively offering trucking services to all visitors. Others, increasing their communication skills, distribute business cards, post flyers and advertise in free newspapers and websites - “ moving, cargo transportation, loader services". We remind that the loaders are paid separately. And this is intracity transportation, there is also intercity transportation. But, small trucks are of little use for this role due to the small volume of the body.

This approach to business completely forgets about back side question. Freight transportation - the demand arising from the client. That is, sentences with transport services he needs it when there is a need for them. And when the need arises, they will work - and imposing at hypermarkets, and business cards, and leaflets. As a rule, since the service is one-time, the client takes one of the first offers he meets on the market.

Thus, an entrepreneur who started his own business in freight transportation, ideally, should wedge himself into the reverse demand chain. He should not be looking for a client, but his client - an executor. This is in ideal conditions. In practice, a businessman who bought freight carforgetting to look around properly, goes along the beaten path - business cards, announcements and the like.

Relatively long ago, not so long ago, of course, as the invention of the wheel, specialized sites appeared on the Internet. They allow everyone who needs transportation services to place their request and receive offers from various carriers. One of the examples of such a service is VezetVsem.

More than 150 orders for a total amount of over 1 million rubles are placed on the VezetVsem service every day. The owner of the truck can search for orders on all routes and directions that suit him - furniture and household appliances, moving, additional cargo, delivery of purchases from IKEA, intercity transportation, moving to Crimea and the like. After searching and sorting orders, the businessman writes off with the client and clarifies the conditions of the order. The application is executed if both parties agree. Everything is very simple and, most importantly, in the spirit of the digital age. Here are some examples of making money on the site.

The glory of "Gazelle" as a comfortable, light and inexpensive truck brought her well-deserved popularity. There are many industries in which this technical tool is used. In rural areas, firewood, fertilizers and much more are transported on it. Private carriers use the car to make money. Many entrepreneurs know that working on their Gazelle is a very profitable business. Where exactly is it worth starting work on your Gazelle?

Gazelle is considered to be almost an ideal vehicle for getting a stable income. People who do not have their own trucks, if necessary, turn to the owners of this type of transport, who offer low prices when compared with the cost of services of large carriers.

It will be useful if the owner of the truck is the owner of the skills to collect furniture or household appliances, since, most likely, he will have to start a business with apartment moves. In addition, his driving experience must be at least 4 years. A qualified carrier must be responsible, punctual and have a good knowledge of the city or region.

Working on your Gazelle: General information

It is quite understandable that working at your Gazelle is connected with finding clients. Of course, the owner of a car can transport cargo for friends and acquaintances, but such orders will be too few for a stable income. You can start searching for regular customers by viewing specialized Internet sitesthat have a huge database. For a faster search, you can slightly lower the prices for your services.

Isometric is considered the most popular transport for delivering products to various retail outlets. But, due to the fact that this car is owned by most large enterprises, the owner of his own "Gazelle" is better off targeting medium and small businesses.

A truck such as a van is mainly intended for expensive intercity transport. That is why it is not very common in the delivery market. Its acquisition will bring considerable financial profit only if its owner is sure that his regular customers will need long-distance transportation.

In any case, any type of entrepreneurial activity using its Gazelle will bear positive results. The modern cargo transportation market is developing at a tremendous pace. In villages and small towns today you can see a considerable number of such vehicles. Almost every well-to-do person has a small Gazelle truck at home. People use this car for both personal needs and as a means to make money.

Buying a Car: Choosing between a new and used Gazelle

Many entrepreneurs, who for the first time decided to try their own hand at the transport market, consider the work of a freight carrier rather difficult. In reality, it is not at all difficult to get a stable monetary income using your personal Gazelle, the main thing is to calculate everything correctly.

Earning money on your own "Gazelle" must begin, of course, with the purchase of the car itself. If a person does not want to constantly repair this vehicle, then it is better for him to immediately buy a new Gazelle. Indeed, usually used car owners only sell their vehicles if they start to break down frequently. Of course, with the presence of certain skills, such a machine can be brought into a workable form in 2-3 months, but is it worth the money and nerves spent.

Working on your Gazelle: The financial side

When planning to purchase your own Gazelle for work, a new one, without a run, you must first decide on your finances. A person must understand whether he has enough money for a new car, or, after all, he will have to stop at a used model.

Among all methods of payment for a purchased car, cash is considered the most profitable. If a person has the required amount of money, then the money spent on purchasing his own "Gazelle" will justify itself rather quickly. If there is not enough finance for the purchase, then you will have to apply for a loan. If a person takes a loan for 3 years and makes an initial payment of about 150 thousand, then every month he will have to give the bank about 14 thousand. This amount can be easily mastered by any novice freight carrier.

The main thing is to try and pay off the loan in the shortest possible time. The first six months of work on your Gazelle should be devoted exclusively to payments. This will reduce the loan maturity and save a considerable amount on interest. When signing an agreement with a bank, you must carefully read all the documentation and read even what is written in the smallest print. The amount of interest rates offered by the bank will not matter too much if the carrier is going to repay the loan ahead of schedule.

Experienced entrepreneurs know that a particular machine must be suitable for a particular type of cargo. This feature should be taken into account when buying a Gazelle.

Working on your Gazelle: Buying a new truck

Among all the models of the new "Gazelles" experienced drivers highlight those who have 405th engine... These machines are more powerful and will not fail on difficult road sections.

In addition, when choosing a car, it is necessary to determine what kind of cargo it will transport. There are several types of "Gazelle": onboard, combi, with an awning, as well as a car for passenger transportation or, in other words, a minibus. Of course, the choice depends on the person himself, but if the future carrier plans to transport different kinds cargo, then it is better for him to stop at the "Gazelle" with sides. In addition to other advantages, this vehicle is capable of transporting up to 1.5 tons of products. In addition, there are Gazelles equipped with an extended platform. Of course, they cost a little more than the rest of the models, but their carrying capacity does not increase just once.

Working on a personal "Gazelle": Choosing a used car

If the funds are insufficient, then the carrier can choose a used car. In this case, he needs to carefully check the vehicle for the presence possible defects... In addition, used "Gazelles" with 405 engines have great advantages compared to other models. As a last resort, you can stop at the 406 engine.

When purchasing a car, you need to pay attention to the condition of the external and internal parts.

The vehicle body must be in good condition, without various dents and irregular bends... It is better to choose a vehicle that has experienced as few repairs as possible. The gaps on its thresholds and arches should be perfectly level. In addition, it is necessary to check the operation of the headlights and the general performance of the Gazelle.

When checking car wheels you can use the following method: hit their center and listen carefully - there should be no rattling in quality wheels.

Suspension quality must also meet all technical standards.... It must be properly installed, in place and not loose. The pillows must be free of any cracks.

When checking the radiator hoses, pay attention to their connection. The joint must be clean: free of scale or other extraneous manifestations... During removal and installation, no interference should occur. They should not dangle or be attached too tightly.

The most important part of any car is, of course, the engine. During its launch, the vehicle should not rattle or vibrate... The engine should run quietly, without knocking, noise and other extraneous sounds.

Checking how the Gazelle is moving, one should try to watch and listen at the same time. The movement of the car should start smoothly, without jolts and growls... With high acceleration, also, should not appear extraneous sounds... When braking, you need to pay attention to how the pedal responds to pressing the foot. Its work should be smooth, without various hindrances. The vehicle speed must be reduced before the brake pedal is "left" to the floor.

All of these mechanisms must be checked very carefully. This will help avoid big problems and financial investments in car repair after purchase.

Working on your Gazelle: Mechanic Skills

A qualified driver must have knowledge of the structure of his car. This will help him avoid delays on the way, not disrupt transportation times and undermine his reputation among customers.

It will also be useful to have an employee who can help in the transportation of furniture and other bulky goods.

Working on your Gazelle: popular types of trucks

Modern and the most common "Gazelles" in cargo transportation are classified into several types.

1. Gazelle - board tent. Truck with a conventional awning. Its main advantage is its relatively low cost, which is approximately $ 170,000. The awning can be easily extended in height, which is very convenient when transporting bulky goods (for example, furniture). Almost the only drawback of this type of "Gazelle" is the large number of similar vehicles on the freight market.
2. Gazelle - board tent, 4 meters. A car with an extended awning. These trucks are better adapted to the delivery of light but bulky products. For example, they are good for transporting boxes of furniture or refrigerators. Such transport means that it will be used in everyday activities, which many carriers are engaged in.

Choice of activities when working on your "Gazelle"

If the owner of "Gazelle" is going to start transporting people, then he must be prepared for considerable difficulties. This type of transportation implies a huge responsibility, especially in bad weather conditions, but the earnings are quite decent. At the same time, the transportation of people does not force the driver to leave home for a long time.

Transportation of furniture is considered a good option for making money on Gazelle... The only thing I must say is that before the carrier acquires a permanent customer base, he will have to interrupt with rare orders for some time. To increase the number of customers, the owner of the Gazelle can post advertisements with a list of their services, ask their friends and acquaintances to recommend it to those people who are engaged in private construction or other activities in need of transportation of products.

If the owner of his personal "Gazelle" decides to work for a private entrepreneur, then he must remember that the range and frequency of his trips will depend on the orders of the employer. On the other hand, this type of earnings can provide him with a stable salary, as well as the absence of a headache from finding clients.

Working on your Gazelle: How to find cargo

After acquiring your own Gazelle, you will have to deal with the most difficult stage of the transport business - finding clients. At the beginning of work, you can take orders from friends and acquaintances. But, sooner or later, their list will come to an end, and you will have to look for regular customers. You can ask for help from dispatching companies engaged in similar activities. But, at the same time, you should know that these services charge a rather large percentage of the order value for their services, so contacting them will not always be cost-effective.

Transportation announcements can be posted on websites or in newspapers and magazines. But this method usually brings only one-time orders. Specialized Internet portals are considered a modern way to search for potential customers, where you can find a lot of information regarding the field of cargo transportation. There are paid and free sites for example Ati.su (ATI cargo transportation) or della.ru (Della trucking), registration in which provides an opportunity to view the client base. Also, you can enter a phrase in the search engine and see the results.

If a suitable client is found, then you can proceed specifically to the cargo transportation. At the same time, it is necessary to take care in advance that the driver of the Gazelle is a highly qualified specialist who will be able to carry out the task entrusted to him with high quality and professionalism. If difficulties arise in this matter, then at the beginning of entrepreneurial activity, the owner of the car can himself sit behind the wheel.

If the first orders are fulfilled responsibly and pass without complaints from the customer, then the carrier will earn a good reputation, which will help him in his future work. Clients will recommend it to their friends and acquaintances, and the flow of regular customers will not decrease.

So, working on your Gazelle is a great way to improve your financial situation. If a person purposefully buys this type of transport in the hope of making good money with it, then, of course, he will do everything possible to achieve this goal. But even if the Gazelle was not bought, but got it for free (as an inheritance or as a gift), then, after thinking carefully, you can understand how to use it profitably to make money.

Working on your Gazelle: alternative earning opportunities

A person who knows how to drive a car can make money in many ways. For example, if he doesn't have personal car, he can get a job in the company as a taxi driver, but the income will, of course, be less. If you have your own car, for the use of which the company does not have to pay a certain amount, earnings increase several times. This becomes even more real if it is the Gazelle that is owned. By distributing information about their carrier services, the owner of such a car will be able to earn extra money on the transportation of products. Nevertheless, he needs to remember that most of the customers will apply for his services at a convenient time for them, and it may not coincide with the free time of the carrier (for example, he may work at his main job). In this case, a good solution would be renting a car to other drivers... The person will be engaged in his main activity, and the Gazelle will “earn” him additional money.

Another type of earning money on one's own "Gazelle" is not private entrepreneurship, but work in a company that transports various products. Such activities can also bring a good income, since the employer will pay for the work of both the person himself and his machine. At the same time, it becomes possible to work not only as a driver, but also to get a job with the same loader and unload products from your car. In addition, the company may have vacancies for a garbage collector that remains after loading and unloading operations, a furniture collector or a packer of goods, which can also be occupied by the Gazelle driver. The same skills may be needed when working for yourself. Knowledge of one's own business, responsibility and punctuality will always attract many clients. With a high-quality and conscientious attitude to work, the carrier will earn the trust and respect of its partners and customers, achieve a good reputation, which will work better for him than any advertisement in the future.

Working on your Gazelle: Increasing profits

In order to increase their own earnings, the carrier will have to adjust to the order schedule. In some cases, in order to fulfill the accepted order on time, the owner of the Gazelle will have to get up at 4 - 5 o'clock in the morning and work almost the whole day... Such orders require enormous moral and physical strength, but they are also paid 3 or 4 times higher. Such work can, on average, bring from 20 to 40 thousand income, not counting paid fuel. But, at the same time, the owner of the car himself is responsible for its safety, therefore, skills will come in handy here self repair vehicle. Due to the fact that the Gazelle will be constantly in operation, the probability of its breakdown may increase several times, so the owner will have to spend at least 50 thousand rubles per year... In some cases, the company itself pays for the cost of car repairs, but then the driver's salary will be less. Some firms pay big salaries, but the driver pays for the gas himself. Other companies can dispense fuel, but the amount is strictly limited. In the latter case, the driver has to save it (shorten the route, not turn on the stove, etc.) or refuel with his own money.

It should be said that in the work of the Gazelle driver, such quality as politeness is of great importance... If you treat your partners correctly, then they will respond in the same way. If one of the employees, for whatever reason, could not go to work, then the likelihood that a polite person will be offered to replace him increases several times. But performing another type of activity will bring additional income to the driver.
