Module 09
Local execution. Real operating intelligence.
Houston isn't a backdrop — it's the point. Mike's physical presence on the ground is what turns reported information into verified information.
Mike's first responsibility is not buying trucks
Learning Rocky's operating model
Understanding the freight routes
Confirming whether more trucks are needed
Understanding preferred equipment specifications
Identifying maintenance & driver bottlenecks
Helping evaluate the possible partnership
"Truck acquisition is the last piece of the puzzle, not the starting point."
An adjacent opportunity — kept separate
The separate Daily Nest hybrid trailer rental initiative is an adjacent opportunity worth noting. Its finances and liabilities are not part of this venture and are not blended into any number in this Playbook.
Local intelligence is the point of Mike's role — verify on the ground before financing.
