From One Truck to Fourteen: How a Truck Owner Scaled His Business in Just Two Years

Starting and growing a trucking business is no easy feat. It requires a steady flow of trips and clients to ensure continuous cash flow—covering fuel, toll fees, driver and helper salaries, and regular vehicle maintenance.

For truck owners and fleet operators, sustainable growth depends on consistent access to clients and delivery requirements. Those with regular trips and long-term partnerships are far more likely to succeed than those who rely solely on spot bookings. Like any other business, competitive advantage comes from having the right systems, a strong partner network, and a clear growth mindset.

That is why growing a fleet from a single truck to 14 units serving nationwide deliveries in just two years is an admirable achievement. This is exactly what Jupeth Peque, owner of L&G Land Transport Services, was able to accomplish—with FAST Logistics Group as his growth partner.

Humble Start: Building a Business with Resilience and Hard Work

Jupeth began his journey with just one six-wheeler truck enrolled with FAST Logistics Group, a leading provider of end-to-end logistics solutions in the Philippines. As a trusted transport partner of multinational companies and major conglomerates, FAST provides its partner truckers with consistent trips and stable income.

He joined FAST’s growing trucking partner network—now composed of around 900 truck owners—as early as September 2023. What drew him in was FAST’s reputation for treating truck owners not just as suppliers, but as strategic partners.

Because of his reliable performance in delivering goods for FAST’s Principals, Jupeth was soon assigned regular delivery routes. These consistent trips allowed him to generate a predictable income and confidently invest in additional trucks. He also enjoys other perks afforded to accredited FAST truckers.

Today, he operates a fleet of 14 units, composed of six-wheelers, forward trucks, AUVs, and 10-wheelers, all deployed for nationwide deliveries. All of his units are exclusively assigned to FAST.

Regular Trips, On-Time Payments, and Flexibility for Expansion

“FAST gives us regular trips and on-time payments, which are very important in this business. I earn more now compared to before when I only relied on spot bookings,” Jupeth shares.

“Because of FAST, I no longer worry about whether I will have trips or not. There’s always a delivery requirement. As truckers, we feel that we have a growth partner we can rely on.”

The opportunities he gained also allowed him to support not just his own family, but the drivers and helpers he employs—and their families as well. For Jupeth, business growth also meant creating sustainable livelihoods within his community.

He also values FAST’s truck accreditation process, which he sees as critical for long-term expansion.

“I also liked that FAST is flexible in terms of accepting additional units. It’s really up to you if you want to add more units. For those who want to grow their business, you are truly welcome to join FAST.”

FAST Logistics Group: Reliable Growth Partner of Trucking Businesses

FAST has long been a trusted growth partner for truck owners like Jupeth. 

With a customer base of over 300 companies nationwide, FAST serves industries such as FMCG, retail, fashion and lifestyle, pharmaceuticals, automotive, perishable food, agribusiness, and industrial manufacturing.

This broad customer base translates to constant demand for all truck types, operating over 3,000 fleet daily across the country.

Because FAST delivers to both major urban centers and the most remote areas in the Philippines, truck owners across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao are welcome to join. Longer routes often mean higher earning potential for partner truckers.

“Moving goods for top brands across the Philippines requires a large, dependable transport network. Ensuring that trucks are ready when and where they are needed is critical for us to deliver topnotch logistics solutions for our Principals,” says Nico Orallo, Transport Sourcing Head.

FAST Support Programs Designed to Help Truckers Scale

To support this growth, FAST offers programs designed specifically for partner truckers, including:

• Guaranteed monthly revenue through lock-in programs
• Dry leasing arrangements

For Jupeth, the partnership speaks for itself. He is now planning to acquire and manage even more units as he continues to expand his business.

“I don’t plan on leaving. Why would I? My fleet grew and my business expanded because of FAST,” he says.
