First thing to do is to check the obvious: Coolant Tank Reservoir and Radiator. Do you have enough coolant in the reservoir? Radiator condition ok....any leaks???

No leaks, coolant is fine. It overheats within the first mile

fans turning on? have a good thermostat? is the radiator cap in good condition? have checked for air pockets in the system or tried to burp any air in the system? could also be a bad head gasket, so hows the oil looking or are you blowing white smoke, even a little? a bad scenario would be a bad or failing water pump, are you about due for your 60k mile maintenance ?
