Newton County, MO
Asking Price:
Business Overview
Operating since 2012, this asset-heavy trucking business serves as a reliable over-the-road carrier primarily using a modern fleet dominated by 2023–2024 Kenworth T680 trucks. The enterprise benefits from a strict carrier agreement with a major national logistics partner, producing steady freight volumes without the typical brokerage complications. Management responsibilities are delegated to a seasoned fleet manager who oversees daily operations, allowing ownership to focus on strategic oversight for only about 5 to 10 hours per week. The business model blends company-owned equipment with lease-purchase drivers and contractors, optimizing fleet flexibility while minimizing working capital through pre-driver-settlement payments. Situated within an economy marked by stable growth and a diversified industrial base, this platform is positioned for expansion by increasing truck count or exploring additional carrier relationships. The streamlined administrative process utilizes efficient technology tools, easing operational complexity for transitional leadership.
