#Startsmallendbig Chris Bright represents the true essence of Truck N’Hustle.An Avid listener and supporter of the show, Chris started his business under 2 years ago, but with the help of his community and team has grown a flourishing last-mile operation that consists of 7 box trucks and 12 Sprinter Vans. In total, they deliver about 5,000 packages per day. Chris has always been a entrepreneur. His first passion and business was a print shop, which he invested every thing he had into but would ultimately fail. After that experience, Chris wanted to try his hands at something new and was interested in the exploding trucking industry. With little knowledge Chris began to do some research. He would find that the expense of getting stated with a semi truck was a bit more that he could invest at the moment. This is when Chris found the term “courier service”. He would began to explore last -mile logistics and it would become his niche and also his passion. To start, Chris went out and got his first box truck while still working a full time job. He would work his 9-5 during the day and deliver packages for Amazon at night. He would slowly grow his operation adding on additional box trucks. Chris would then begin to connect with his community to scale and build no limit truck co. To where it is today. Purpose driven, Chris's goal is to create 100 jobs in his community, of which the number is currently at 35 and counting. Job creation is Chis and his teams most important KPI (key performance indicator).
