If there's too much competition, it may be wise to consider starting the business in a less competitive marketplace.

Finding a Non-Competitive Business Mentor

If you are seriously contemplating launching a truck terminal, it's a smart move to learn from folks who are already in business. If you think your local competitors will give you advice, you're being overoptimistic. What's in it for them?

But, a person who owns a truck terminal outside of your community may be more than happy to give you a few tips, once they realize that you are not going to directly compete with them in their community. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. Our estimate is that you may have to contact many business owners to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.
