Why this business stands out

This family-owned trucking company offers a clean operating authority from 2014 along with a fleet of trucks and trailers, established broker relationships, and a retiring owner willing to support a transition period. With $280K in annual discretionary earnings on a $525K asking price, the business offers a strong return for an owner-operator or an established carrier looking to expand fleet and authority. The asset-backed nature of the deal and long-standing broker relationships reduce ramp-up time for a qualified buyer.
