Temperature-Controlled Freight and Logistics Provider
Business Description
Description:
A leading asset-based, temperature-controlled transportation provider serving food and perishable supply chains across the United States. The Company operates a fleet of approximately 170 tractors and 230 trailers, supporting dedicated lanes and contracted freight relationships with diversified clients. With strong adjusted EBITDA growth, high repeat business, and established operational infrastructure, the Company represents a scalable platform within the resilient refrigerated trucking sector.
Key Aspects:
• Consistent Profitability: From 2022 to 2025, the Company has maintained an average adjusted EBITDA margin of 15.3%, supported by disciplined fleet expansion and a strong mix of contracted freight.
• Dedicated Lanes & Diversified Revenue: The Company maintains dedicated and contract lanes nationwide, with approximately 90% of revenue generated from repeat clients.
• Resilient Food-Focused Freight: The Company specializes in temperature-controlled transportation for produce, meat, and other essential food commodities, supporting steady demand even during broader economic slowdowns.
• Operational Scale: The Company completed more than 17M miles in 2025 and averaged over 326K loaded miles per week, supported by structured dispatch oversight, in-house maintenance capabilities, and strong FMCSA compliance standards that position the Company for continued scalable growth.
Opportunities:
• Geographic Expansion: Expand geographically by establishing additional terminals in strategic U.S. markets to increase lane density, reduce deadhead miles (empty moves), and enhance regional fleet coverage.
• Service Expansion: Introduce less-than-truckload (LTL) services to accommodate smaller shipment volumes and capture incremental freight demand from existing and new shipper relationships.
• Intermodal & Rail Integration: Develop intermodal solutions by engaging public and private railroads to provide cost-efficient long-haul options while maintaining integrated truck-based first-and last-mile service.
• Port & Drayage Expansion: Expand port and container drayage operations by targeting inbound and outbound freight tied to key port markets, including opportunities connected to the Bakersfield new industry port program and surrounding logistics corridors.
Headquartered:
• Western, US
Current Markets:
• The Company serves business-to-business (B2B) clients across the United States, including shippers, food producers, distributors, and logistics providers.
• The Company’s freight mix is concentrated in produce, meat, and other time-sensitive food commodities.
Real Estate:
• The Company operates two terminals, one in the Western U.S. and one in the Southern U.S. In addition, the Company operates an outside sales office and truck parking facility.
• The terminals are owned by the Company and can be included in a sale or leased under a long-term lease arrangement.
Shareholder Objectives:
• The Company is owned by two shareholders who are seeking either a full exit and would consider various deal structures.
• The owners would be willing to remain with the Company for a negotiable period to ensure a smooth transition to new ownership.
