Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs
If you are seriously contemplating launching a freight express and transfer services business, you really ought to learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. What's in it for them?
However, an entrepreneur who owns a freight express and transfer services business on the other side of the country will be much more likely to talk with you, given that you don't compete with them in their area. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. In my experience, you may have to call ten business owners in order to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.

Don't Rule Out Franchising
