This is an established, profitable, non-asset freight brokerage . Founded in
2016, the business has scaled from a small regional operator into a diversified
third-party logistics provider that moved 5,107 loads across 471 unique
origin-destination lanes in 2025, generating $12.46M of gross revenue, $1.
98M of
gross profit, and $959.7K of adjusted seller's discretionary earnings.
The model is deliberately non-asset: the company owns no tractors, no trailers,
and no rolling stock.
Every load is sourced, priced, dispatched, tracked, and
settled through a network of vetted third-party motor carriers. The result is a
capital-light platform with high operating leverage, no maintenance liabilities,
no driver retention exposure. The buyer is purchasing a customer book, a carrier
network, a proven operating system, a federal contracting track record, and a
brokerage team.
The business is ideal for remote work and is not restricted by geographic
location. Operations are run by a seven-person team — three partner-owners and
four employee brokers. The physical office footprint is incidental to the
operation.
Gross revenue grew from $3.11M in 2023 to $8.05M in 2024 to $12.
46M in 2025 — a
100% compound annual growth rate sustained for two full years. Adjusted SDE
expanded in parallel . Through May, 2026, the business had already booked $5.
41M
of gross revenue and $868K of gross profit, putting it on pace to extend the
growth trajectory and operating at a 16.1% gross margin — above the 2025
full-year gross margin of 15.8%.
Operating Model: Cradle-to-Grave Brokers
The company runs a cradle-to-grave brokerage model. Each broker owns the full
lifecycle of every customer relationship: quoting, sales, booking, capacity
procurement, dispatch, in-transit tracking 7 problem resolution.
2025 freight was distributed across 60 unique numbered customers spanning 30
distinct commodity verticals, with 192 unique commodity sub-categories moved
across the year.
The customer base is anchored by food and refrigerated freight
but extends well beyond it:
Federal contracts — The business currently moves freight for the U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA), the Department of Energy (DoE), and NASA.
Federal work
runs at roughly 17.9% blended gross margin — above the company average — and
represents a credentialed track record that is difficult and time-consuming to
build from scratch.
The freight book is reefer-led and van-supported, with a smaller flatbed and
specialty component:
Carrier Network
The company maintains a core carrier base it uses preferentially for repeat
work.
Carrier vetting runs through several software services for compliance and
fraud prevention, providing standard insurance verification, authority checks,
safety scoring, and identity verification before any new carrier is booked.
Employee benefits include Blue Cross health insurance and Delta Dental coverage.
A buyer with existing brokerage infrastructure can migrate the customer and
carrier book onto their stack.
A buyer without existing infrastructure inherits
a turnkey, off-the-shelf stack already in production.
