Start writing a business plan.  Call people who are already in the business and ask if they can give you advice.  Make sure you have good insurance and if you want to try to find a mentor who may have been in the transportation business try www.score.org.

You have three avenues to cover.Check with your local city to see what requirements are necessary. (There's probably city,county,and state requirements.)The gas/diesel company you'll use will have certain expectations and requirements. Then (unless you're paying cash) your bank will obviously want to see assets, money down, and a business plan forecast put together probably as far as 5 years. The easiest way would be to re-start an existing station that has been closed for awhile. Good luck.

You'll need a local vending license, a truck, a supplier of produce, and then a lot of let work to find clients. Try the smaller restaurants to start with.

Ask the elderly if you can run errands for them like get their groceries or pick up their medication or walk "fluffy" their dog.

You can start small and expand:\n\nbe a courier on foot in a compressed urban area\nbe a bike messenger / courier in an urban area\n\nOR you could get on the Small Business Administrations website and check out how to do a business plan.  Once you've done the research and have a plan outlined for what you want to put together, the SBA will often help you locate investors or loan institutions that can fund your business.  Your local SBA office will also help you put together the business plan.\n\nhttp://www.sba.gov/

Start with city hall. They will provide you with all of the right paperwork and codes and requirements you need for a 'vehicle for hire' business. The most basic requirements are insurance and an office to park your cars. Most of what is left is just advertising. The yellow pages will probably be your biggest help unless you are going to have taxis just picking up people from bars/airport/hotels.

Fist thing would be to find a city, or mall that will allow you to open a such business.... Then I guess it would be order a bunch of products and open up... making sure that you only sell to people that are the appropriate age.... Police like to send under age people in stores like that...\n\nGood Luck

I opened an errand service a couple of years ago. I did things like shop, house sit, walk dogs, take pictures, p/u and deliver things. \nI didn't promote it enough because my mother was not in good health and the town I live in is small but I think it would do better in a larger town. Not much start up cost. Just $25 business license and advertising cost.

Contact Meals on Wheels and volunteer to deliver.  You will meet a ton of elderly people and other shut-ins who would love a friend.

Try the auction sales in your city. Usually the City and state sanitation conduct auction to sell old equipment, including Dump trucks.

Have a parent or older brother or sister drive\n\nUse public transportation if it's available.

best bet is talk to someone who has a tire business and get their advise on what options you have

Avoid pyramid schemes......\n\nIt's hot? Sell cold, ice cream. drinks? It's Muslim? Soft drinks in places where it's hard to get a drink. Cater to tourists. A digital camera and a photo printer close by - could be the basis of a good business. Use the Natural resources around you to best advantage. Cover the desert in solar panels????

Check delivery drivers jobs for autoparts stores, distribution sites (sodas, snacks...), health care/retirement homes need van drivers...\n\nCheck your local paper under "drivers", and you should see plenty.\n\nLM

It is most definitely doable! Go for it! You can use what you know about S. Cal. to get you started. Maybe start with an old Ph. book from Cal. to contact antique dealers, another fine resource for companies is the online yellow pages, consider printing a flyer with your credentials and mailing it out. Also try calling them on the phone and speaking with the person in charge. The nice part of these options is that you don't have to be face to face so it can be easier. Hope this helps!
