Frequently Asked Questions

Logistics & Transportation
Brokerage Questions

How is a trucking or logistics business valued in the Midwest?+
Transportation businesses are valued on EBITDA multiples of 3x to 5.5x plus separate fleet and equipment appraisal. DOT safety rating, driver retention, customer concentration, and contract revenue quality are key value drivers. Asset-heavy businesses may be valued more heavily on net asset value when earnings are thin.
What DOT and FMCSA requirements affect a trucking business sale?+
The DOT and MC authority number and safety rating are business-specific and either transfer with the entity in a stock sale or require new authority registration in an asset sale. We help buyers and sellers navigate this process and time it to avoid any gap in operating authority.
How do I retain drivers through a business sale?+
Driver retention is one of the biggest concerns for trucking buyers. We advise on employee communication timing, retention bonuses, and transition structures that give drivers confidence in the new ownership. A well-structured transition plan is often what gets deals across the finish line in this sector.
Is the Omaha area a good market for selling a logistics business?+
Omaha is one of the best logistics M&A markets in the country. The city sits at the crossroads of I-80 and I-29, has one of the largest concentrations of trucking companies per capita, and is home to numerous 3PLs and distribution operations. Buyer demand in this market is consistently strong.
