The Company is a very successful long distance trucking company conveniently based in the mid-US. It specializes in flatbed trailer hauling forest products, cotton, and other natural resources, as well as steel, general merchandise, automobiles, and heavy equipment. Many of its customers are nationally known corporate names. Current staff is at about 40 employees, all non-union. The Owner believes in a top quality fleet and equipment and employs his own mechanics to this end. Likewise the Owner believes the Company can deliver its expected dependability best using Company employed drivers and some trusted independent contractors. Flatbed hauling is 90% of the Company business, about 50% of which is within 250 miles. The company has about 50 active accounts and about a 75% rate of repeat business, referrals make up the bulk of the remaining sources of business. Management is willing to remain through the transition, and it is expected that most employees would want to stay on as well. This is an outstanding acquisition opportunity for the right buyer.
