Established Intermodal Trucking & Drayage Company - $1.55M Revenue
Business Description
Established Intermodal Trucking & Drayage Company - $1.55M Revenue
HS Listing ID-71863
Confidential opportunity to acquire an established intermodal trucking, container drayage, and freight logistics business serving a major Midwest rail and intermodal corridor. The company generated approximately $1.55M in 2025 gross revenue with approximately $230K in recast seller discretionary earnings / cash flow, and Q1 2026 revenue is tracking ahead of the prior-year pace.
The operation is built around a lean 8-truck model, including 2 company-driver trucks and 6 long-standing owner-operators. This creates a practical acquisition opportunity for a hands-on owner-operator, regional fleet owner, drayage operator, or logistics buyer looking to expand into container freight without starting a terminal-focused operation from scratch.
Ideal Buyer Profiles
Owner-operator seeking a larger book of intermodal freight and an existing operating platform
Small fleet owner looking to expand into drayage, rail terminal freight, or container hauling
Regional trucking company seeking additional Midwest freight volume
Logistics operator or transportation business looking for a bolt-on acquisition
Strategic buyer that can absorb dispatch, compliance, invoicing, and back-office work
Hands-on entrepreneur looking for a cash-flowing trucking company with room to professionalize systems
Growth Opportunities
Hire or install a dedicated dispatcher to reduce owner dependency
Add additional trucks, drivers, and owner-operators
Expand broker relationships and rate-quote volume
Pursue direct shipper relationships to improve margin quality
Build stronger dispatch systems, rate history, and broker/customer tracking
Increase coverage across nearby rail yards, terminals, and freight corridors
Use buyer's existing insurance, compliance, administrative, and maintenance infrastructure to improve efficiency
Professionalize reporting, SOPs, driver onboarding, and customer follow-up
Key Highlights
$500,000 asking price
$1,547,490 gross revenue in 2025
Approx. $229,682 recast cash flow / SDE
Q1 2026 revenue of $404,979, annualizing to roughly $1.62M
8 active truck operation
2 company-driver trucks + 6 owner-operators
Established intermodal trucking and container drayage niche
Active freight relationships in a major Midwest rail / intermodal market
Broker-based freight model with repeat relationship history
Lean overhead profile compared to larger asset-heavy fleets
Existing driver / owner-operator network
Opportunity for a buyer to add dispatch capacity and scale volume
Seller transition support available for qualified buyer
