Business Description

This highly respected transportation company has built a strong reputation over nearly three decades specializing in the hauling of produce and specialty food products throughout the eastern half of the United States. With long-standing relationships, an experienced driver base, and a highly streamlined operational model, this business offers both stability and significant growth potential for an owner-operator, strategic buyer, or investor.

The company currently operates 6 active trucks and 6 trailers, all running consistent routes with additional demand already in place to support immediate expansion. The fleet is well-maintained, which significantly reduces near-term capital expenditure needs.

The business primarily serves the potato and pickle industries and maintains established relationships with approximately 10 core customers and brokers, many of which have been in place for decades. Revenue is generated through recurring transportation needs within the food supply chain, creating a dependable and recession-resistant service offering.

The company experienced a temporary decline in prior years as the owner dealt with health-related issues that limited the ability to fully manage and execute operations. Over the past 12 months, the business has been successfully stabilized and has returned to strong performance, currently averaging approximately $185,000 per month in revenue with improved operational consistency and renewed growth momentum.

Ownership involvement remains minimal. The current owner works approximately 10 hours per week primarily managing routes and overseeing operations, while experienced independent (1099) drivers handle day-to-day transportation activities. Most drivers have been with the company for many years, providing continuity, reliability, and operational consistency.

The company maintains a Satisfactory safety rating with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and has built a reputation for dependable service and long-term customer retention throughout its 29-year operating history.

A unique advantage of this opportunity is operational flexibility. The business can be managed from virtually anywhere, as dispatching and coordination can be handled remotely. Primary transportation lanes operate east of the Mississippi River, providing broad geographic coverage and scalable routing opportunities.

The business may be acquired either:

• With existing operating authority for a seamless transition, or
• Without authority for buyers preferring to operate under their own authority structure.

The Seller is committed to supporting a smooth transition and will assist with customer introductions, operational training, and relationship transfers to ensure continuity post-closing.

This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a proven transportation platform with long-standing industry relationships, operational flexibility, recurring demand, and immediate scalability in a resilient sector of the transportation industry.
