Business for Sale Overview:
This is a long established freight brokerage serving independent owner/operators and small to medium sized trucking companies. The company specializes in meat and frozen food in refrigerated trailers. The company earns a commission on each load based on the spread between what the shipper agrees to pay and the carrier agrees to deliver for to the shipper’s customer. The owner is retiring after the sale.

Market Competition and Expansion:
Hire an additional broker to increase the volume of loads and calls handled daily with current, as well as new shippers and carriers, to increase sales and margins.
Develop an interactive website, where available loads could be posted and carriers could view and respond on-line.
The owner feels the Gross Profit Margin could be increased from the current 6.5 – 7.0% without significant loss of carriers using the company’s services.
Increase the number of “Prepays” to carriers which brings in an additional 5% in Gross Profit Margin.
