Business Description
Profitable Well Established Growing Projected to hit $3.4M in 2026
Regional Refrigerated Logistics Platform | $2.87M Revenue | $729K EBITDAR

This is a highly profitable, well-established refrigerated trucking platform operating under its own interstate authority and serving institutional food and protein distributors.

Since inception, the company has built a sterling reputation for reliability, service quality, and on-time performance. It operates as a preferred carrier for major recurring customers in the food and perishable goods sectors, providing stable, repeat freight volume with minimal customer churn.

For the trailing twelve months ending January 2026, the company generated:

Unlike small owner-operator fleets, this business operates with structured dispatch infrastructure, W-2 drivers, and repeat anchor accounts. The owner’s involvement is approximately 20 hours per week, making this a transferable operating platform rather than a single-operator job.

2026 Growth Momentum – Not Hypothetical

Early 2026 performance confirms acceleration.

For the period January 1 – February 22, 2026:
• Revenue increased approximately 46% year-over-year
• Net Operating Income increased approximately 189% year-over-year

This expansion occurred following the addition of one leased truck and one owner/operator unit, demonstrating that the business is capacity-constrained, not demand-constrained.

One of the company’s largest customers has increased committed load volume from approximately 22 loads per week to a minimum of 28 loads per week in 2026, a 27% volume increase. At current rate structures, this represents approximately $6,000 per week in incremental revenue.

At the current run rate, 2026 revenue is tracking toward $3.4M–$3.5M, representing a material step change from prior periods.

Fleet & Operational Infrastructure
• 9 revenue-producing trucks (owned, leased, and owner/operator mix)
• 11 experienced drivers (6 full-time / 4 part-time / 1 owner/operator)
• 1 dispatcher
• Zero recent driver turnover
• Company drivers (not brokered or outsourced) ensuring operational control

Several fleet leases are scheduled to mature in 2026 and 2027 (excluding the most recent 2025 addition). As these leases roll off, equipment may be acquired or refinanced at the buyer’s discretion, transitioning the business toward greater owned-fleet positioning and enhancing long-term operating leverage.

Newly Secured Interstate Authority - The company recently obtained full interstate operating authority, expanding eligibility beyond in-state freight. Existing customers have already expressed interest in awarding additional lanes into neighboring states.

This development transitions the business from a purely intrastate carrier into a regional refrigerated logistics platform, creating immediate expansion optionality under new ownership.

Investment Highlights
• Preferred-carrier relationships with recurring anchor customers
• Demonstrated 46% early-2026 revenue growth
• Capacity-constrained expansion profile
• Scalable leased fleet model
• Low owner dependency
• Lease roll-off capital transition over the next 24 months

Forward Outlook - With TTM EBITDAR of $729,764 and confirmed volume expansion from key accounts, the company is positioned for substantial 2026 growth. Revenue is projected in the $3.4M–$3.5M range, reflecting approximately 25–30% year-over-year growth.

Given operating leverage and fixed overhead stability, forward earnings expansion is expected to improve effective acquisition multiples under new ownership.

Transaction - The seller is open to structured discussions and is willing to remain for a transition period to ensure operational continuity and customer stability.

Facilities & Assets
A modern fleet of 9 trucks and 13 refrigerated trailers to meet its service commitments. The fleet includes 4 company-owned Freightliner Cascadia day-cab tractors (model years 2014–2017) and 4 late-model Freightliner Cascadia sleeper tractors leased from Penske (2019 and 2023 model years). The fleet also includes one owner/operator making for a total of 9 trucks.

All 13 trailers are refrigerated 53’ units equipped with Thermo King Precedent S600 cooling systems.
Opportunities for Growth
Early 2026 revenue is up 46% YoY, confirming the business is not demand-constrained. Adding trucks immediately converts to revenue, as shown by recent fleet expansion. Buyers can accelerate growth by adding 1–2 units to capture excess load demand from anchor customers, activating newly secured interstate authority for regional lanes, formalizing dedicated agreements, and implementing a TMS to enhance dispatch efficiency and margin control.
