Do you want to start a business of your own? How about starting a transportation business? There are different kinds of businesses that you can decide to start. The type you choose depends upon your interests and skills. Here are some unique transportation business ideas for you. 

Specializing in a special type of transportation – extremely huge items like modular houses, airplane parts or refrigerated perishables, human organs or blood – may allow you to make a huge income. You will not have many clients but may charge high fees for your expertise. Depending on where your business is located will dictate whether you will be able to do the business all by yourself or need staff for doing the jobs. 

Moving cars from one place to the other is a business that you can start. All you need to start the business is a car trailer hauler. Many companies offer auto transport trailers for sale. Select the company that you think provides quality products at an affordable price and buy the trailer from there. Financing options are also provided by these companies – so you won’t even need a huge capital to start your business. And if you know yourself how to drive the trailer, you can drive it all by yourself to transport the cars from one place to the other. 

Transportation by air, whether it is using a helicopter or plane, involves a lot of startup expenses for licensing, equipment & insurance. Small plane transportation may be of people or goods like skiers or hunters heading to a remote territory, delivering mails or goods to islands, or transportation of freight internationally. You need to have a facility with great cargo handling, inspecting of equipment and customs if you’re planning of international shipping because moving products through air transportation is about speed. 

Transportation via boat is big business. Marine shipping is done by tankers stacked up with containers, which get lifted off the trailer & stacked on a boat. It entails export/import business and needs knowledge of the customs regulations for specific and general merchandise. If you are a coordinator and a scheduler, this business is for you. But to start this business, you need to make sure you have a lot of startup resources.
