A 40-truck operating business at institutional scale. $11.88M annual gross revenue. $3.32M SDE. Established 2016. National broker relationships. 55 employees. Built for absentee ownership at family-office or search-fund scale.

Three reasons sophisticated cash buyers are moving capital into trucking
right now:

1. AI-resistant cash flow. While AI compresses margins in finance, law, software, and consulting, commercial freight remains a human-driven business protected by federal regulation. Real assets. Real drivers.Real freight.

2. Recession durability. The fleet has operated continuously since 2016 through every freight cycle — including the 2018 freight recession, the 2020 pandemic surge, and the 2022-2023 normalization. Essential freight does not stop.

3. Bonus depreciation at scale. A cash buyer in top brackets captures ~$1.6M of year-one federal tax shield across 40 trucks (estimated; consult your CPA as this is not legal or tax advice). For accredited family offices, this can be structured as a year-end tax strategy with a 4-year operational tail.
Operating business — not asset purchase. Drivers, dispatch, compliance, broker contracts, maintenance, K-1 prep, and operational dashboards all included. 55 employees provide continuity through ownership transition.

This is the largest single CDL Empire managed-fleet acquisition currently available. Smaller tiers (2-truck at $250K, 10-truck at $1.25M) are listed separately for buyers entering at lower price points.
We do not produce SBA-eligible documentation packages — this acquisition is structured for cash buyers, search funds, and family offices with verifiable proof of funds.
