This is a rare opportunity to acquire and operate a very profitable, established, turn-key transportation business with low overhead and high profit margins, offering tremendous growth possibilities!
The current owner established this company in 1998 and is ready to retire. The company has an outstanding reputation in the industry and specializes in providing transportation services for large trucking companies, hauling containers from CP Rail and CN Rail in Calgary area and Southern Alberta to client locations, providing power units and/or trailers to do so. The company also provides warehousing, trailer storage, trans-loading and swamper services, as well as grocery warehouse deliveries.
The business operates with minimal equipment, including one power unit and 22 trailers, and relies on a network of 17 owner-operators who own and maintain their own equipment. The company has service contracts in place with large procurement and logistics companies that operate throughout North America.
Most of the business up to this point has been generated through word of mouth, with minimal advertising. The business does not have a website, so with the development of an online presence, coupled with their outstanding reputation, a new owner can take this business to a new level and multiply the earnings! The company has unlimited upside potential for an operator who wants to expand into other parts of Alberta, as well as other provinces. Current clients often ask the owner for services in Edmonton area and in other provinces, including Ontario. There are also many opportunities in specialized hauling, serving the oil industry, hauling marine containers, etc.
The business is operated primarily from a home office. The company leases a small office for one of the dispatchers, which could easily be relocated to a home office, and two yard sites in Calgary’s industrial parks for equipment storage.
The company has consistently enjoyed multiple years of growth in revenue and earnings, and the current fiscal year is on track for another record year! The demand for its services grows every year, to the degree that the owner has had to reject some new business.
The seller has agreed to assist the incoming buyer with two months of training to accommodate a smooth transition, and will also be available for consultation afterwards.
