Finally someting I am qualified to answer!
I am in Rochester New York and had my own Courier Company for 10 years and was very sucessfull.
The day I started I was the smallest in the Rochester Market with about 40 small to large companies out there. In just three months we had our first write-up in the paper and in 11 months we were 3rd largest in the area. We grew to that point and stayed there. I didn't want to get any larger.
If you want pointers, and advice, I can steer you in the right direction and let you know what worked for me. You can call me at 585 254 6748 and I'll be happy to assist you.
