HOW TOP START A LAST MILE DELIVERY LIKE SPEEDX
Starting a last-mile delivery company like SpeedX is a smart move right now—especially with your background in trucking and your company (Bora LLC). Let’s break it down in a real-world, money-making way (not theory).
π What “Last-Mile Delivery” Really Means
Last-mile = the final step of delivery:
- Warehouse → Customer door
- Amazon / Walmart / Shopify stores → Homes
Companies like:
- Amazon Logistics
- FedEx
- UPS
π They outsource a LOT of deliveries to small companies (like the one you can start).
π‘ STEP-BY-STEP: How to Start Like SpeedX
1. Pick Your Delivery Model (IMPORTANT)
You have 3 ways to make money:
πΉ Option A: Contract with Big Companies (BEST START)
- Work as a Delivery Service Provider (DSP)
- Deliver Amazon / FedEx packages
π° Income:
- $1.50 – $3 per package
- 150–300 packages/day = $200–$800/day per route
πΉ Option B: Local Business Delivery
Target:
- Furniture stores
- Pharmacies
- Restaurants
- E-commerce shops
π° Charge:
- $5–$25 per delivery
πΉ Option C: Build Your Own “SpeedX-style” Platform
- Create app/website
- Connect drivers + businesses
- Take a cut per delivery
π° This is the scalable model (but harder at start)
π 2. What You Need to Start (REAL COSTS)
Minimum Setup (1–2 Vans)
- Cargo van or box truck: $5k–$25k
- Insurance (commercial): $500–$1,500/month
- Fuel: $1k+/month
- Driver (or yourself)
π You already in trucking → BIG advantage
π 3. Legal Setup (Texas)
Since you already have Bora LLC, you’re ahead.
You need:
- DOT number (if crossing certain limits)
- Commercial auto insurance
- General liability insurance
- Delivery contracts
Optional:
- MC number (if expanding logistics)
π¦ 4. Get Your FIRST CONTRACT (Most Important Step)
