Specialized Aviation Freight Carrier | Florida & Ohio
Business Description
Asset-heavy, debt-free aviation freight carrier operating team-driven tractors leased to established carriers. The price includes the owned fleet, refreshed between 2022–2024. Earnings include non-cash depreciation add-backs; buyers should factor ongoing equipment replacement.
Operations
The company hauls high-value aerospace cargo—engines, crates, and components—on step-deck trailers under tarp and securement. Dispatch and compliance are handled by carriers; the owner manages drivers and maintenance. Runs across all 48 continental states with primary operations in Florida and Ohio.
Highlights
Defensible niche: Aviation step-deck freight requiring specialized driver skill.
Debt-free fleet: Modern Volvo, Western Star, and Freightliner units with Dorsey trailers.
Long-term carrier relationships: 8–10 years with principal carriers, expected to continue.
Lean structure: Ten 1099 drivers, no office staff or software overhead.
Low owner time: ~20 hours per week; spouse assists part-time.
Growth potential: Underutilized fleet—historically over $3M annual revenue.
Transition support: Owner offers training and up to one year of assistance.
Financial Basis
Figures are unaudited, prepared on a cash basis. Seller’s Discretionary Earnings reflect depreciation add-backs and non-recurring adjustments. Buyers should evaluate earnings with reinvestment in mind.
Transaction
Seller retiring after 45 years. Sale includes business and fleet, free of debt. Closing subject to clear title and carrier lease continuation.
