Question:
I would like information about how to open a truck stop in my area…Please forward me any information
Answer:
You need to perform research to determine among other aspects the following:
- how many trucks pass through the area
- how many trucks will stop
- what the destinations for these trucks are
- what the drivers require at the truck shop
- what owners require
- will you supply fuel, food, sleeping, restaurant and tyre facilities
- what security is required
- what business rights exist in the proposed area
- what local authorities have to say / support
- whether the road has a reserve on it
- acquire quotes on construction and road routing
- get quotes on licences to provide food, fuel and other services as required
- drive a well advertised marketing campaign to see whether the truck stop will be supported
