The company's management philosophy is based on responsibility and mutual respect.

Interstate Travel Center is organized 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 dollar 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 center, 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. Highlights  1.1 Mission The mission of Interstate Travel Center is to start a new public travel center which will service the truck fueling and shopping needs of NAFTA trade, the general traveling public, and local Dallas customers.
