Oilfield Logistics & Equipment Rental Company | Strong Industry Leader

WI, US

Established oilfield logistics and equipment rental company serving Wyoming’s active energy regions. Since 2014 the business has provided essential, mission-critical services including potable water delivery, sewer servicing, and production water hauling for its own fleet and for third-party customers. The company is supported by approximately $500,000 in equipment and infrastructure, delivering immediate operational capability and a strong asset base for a new owner. In addition to contract hauling, the business operates a growing rental fleet of portable water, sewer, and restroom trailers that service man camps and job sites—generating recurring, higher‑margin rental revenue alongside steady service contracts. Leadership includes an experienced operator with a proven track record of scaling operations, and the company operates to a clear playbook with repeatable processes. Currently undercapitalized, the business presents substantial upside for a buyer or investor who can deploy capital to expand equipment inventory, add staff, pursue strategic acquisitions, and extend services into adjacent markets. This is an ideal platform acquisition for a strategic buyer, active operator, or investor seeking a stable, essential oilfield services business with a mix of service revenue and recurring rental income and significant growth potential through targeted investment.

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.
