What to know about transportation and storage business acquisitions
GW
Cofounder & CEO
Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating transportation and storage business acquisitions.
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.
