Executive Summary


1.0 Executive Summary

Interstate Travel Centre is intended to be the major travel centre in Dallas, Texas. It will consist of a convenience store, gas/diesel islands, restaurant, and amenities for the trucking business. Interstate Travel Centre is a corporation owned and operated by Steve and Janet Smith.

The company's management philosophy is based on responsibility and mutual respect. Interstate Travel Centre has an environment and structure that encourages productivity and respect for customers and fellow employees.

Interstate Travel Centre is organised into two main functional areas: convenience store-gas/diesel, and the restaurant, each will have its own on-site management. Steve and Janet Smith are the founders and co-presidents. They will head the operation, and will concentrate on product sourcing, sales, marketing, finance, and overall administration. Each area will have a manager responsible for daily operations who will report to the Smiths.

Standard & Poor's estimates that the U.S. commercial freight transportation market had aggregate revenues of £436 billion in 1998. In other words, five cents of every pound of U.S. gross domestic product that year was spent on transportation. With some £344 billion in 1998 revenues, the trucking business claimed 79% of the U.S. commercial freight transportation market. This total was divided among two sectors: private carriage and for-hire.

The initial start-up costs will amount to £2.75 million, which will be used to purchase land, develop it, and construct a 6,000 square foot travel centre, complete with gas/diesel islands, scales, and a restaurant. The initial capital injection will be £250,000. The remaining will be in the form of a £2.5 million loan.
