What to know about transportation and storage business acquisitions

GW

By George Wellmer

Cofounder & CEO

Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating transportation and storage business acquisitions.

Decide which kind of business you're buying

A storage facility's occupancy is durable real-estate income; trucking and moving revenue depends on contracts and crews. Price the two very differently.

Inspect the fleet and facility condition

Trucks, trailers, vehicles, and build-outs are capital-heavy with finite lives; get age, maintenance history, and the deferred replacement schedule.

Verify DOT, operating authority, and regulatory standing

Authority, safety ratings, and driver qualifications are central and may not transfer; review the compliance record.

Quantify customer and contract concentration

Contracted freight or a few large accounts can carry a transportation business and leave with little notice; understand the terms.

Pressure-test fuel, labor, and driver availability

Margins move with fuel and wages, and qualified drivers are scarce; understand the cost structure and key-person risk.

For storage, verify occupancy, rate trends, and the real estate

Occupancy history, rate increases, and property condition drive value; confirm the numbers and any deferred maintenance.
