. Last year, the Dallas company generated $1.4 million in revenue, which Insider verified with documentation.

"I grew up in a foster system and I didn't have opportunities," Traylor, 31, said."So being able to do that with trucking, I was able to partner with others, hire employees, and give them a platform that empowers them."Starting from 'literally zero'Traylor said she didn't need much capital to start her brokerage, which was convenient since she had"literally zero" cash and was about three months behind on her bills.

She formed a relationship with a leasing company to get more trucks, which helped her pivot to an asset-based business, or a company that owns its equipment. Once she was ready to hire employees, she advertised on Facebook and waited for candidates to apply. Her first hire helped her get her first shipper, which gave her the capacity to take on an aluminum supplier. Today, the aluminum supplier is the biggest account with her brokerage.
