Overview

The shipping industry makes up almost 12% of our nation's GNP. The food you eat, the clothes you wear, the car you drive and your cell phone have all been shipped from somewhere else. This is a $400 billion dollar industry that is not shrinking, in fact it is expanding! The income opportunities in this business are enormous and you can make an incredible income on just a tiny fraction of this market and industry!

The reseller concept is simple and rewarding. You will see that this is unlike most franchise businesses available today. This is definitely a business opportunity that does not require a large capital investment, high overhead and absolutely no inventory.

This revolutionary program of reselling overnight air express and other freight services to businesses is unparalleled in the industry. Why would the carriers agree to this type of business arrangement? The answer is simple; the carriers have an added sales force that does not require training, motivation or compensation. The carriers enjoy the additional revenue without increasing the time and money spent on their sales staff. The customer receives first-class service while saving up to 40%. You, the franchisee, enjoy a profit from each shipment.
