Selling or buying a trucking company

Dedicated lanes and retained drivers. The tractors are the easy part.

If you own one

Thinking about selling your trucking company?

Trucking businesses are valued on the durability of the freight, not the fleet. Dedicated lanes, contracted customers and drivers who stay are what a buyer pays for; spot freight and a fleet of aging tractors is an asset sale wearing a company's clothes. Owner operators who have built a real dispatch and safety function are in a much stronger position than they usually realise.

What raises the price

Dedicated or contracted lanes rather than reliance on the spot market
Driver retention that stands out in an industry with chronic turnover
A CSA safety profile that keeps insurance affordable for a buyer
Fleet age and maintenance history that will not demand immediate capital
Dispatch, compliance and safety functions that run without the owner

What a buyer will discount

Revenue swinging with spot rates
One shipper representing most of the freight
Driver turnover requiring constant recruitment spend
Deferred maintenance and tractors due for replacement at once

None of this is a reason to wait. Most of these are fixable, and knowing which ones apply to you is exactly what a valuation is for.

What is my trucking company worth?

Nine questions, an indicative range on screen, and a scorecard showing which value drivers you already have and which are costing you money. No cost, no obligation, and nothing is published.

If you want to buy one

Looking to acquire a trucking company?

The businesses that transfer well have contracted or dedicated freight, a safety record that will not frighten an insurer, and a dispatch team the owner is not part of. Check the driver turnover figure before anything else.

How this works. Registering tells us what you are looking for. It does not give you company names, financials or locations — none of that is released until the owner agrees to share it with a specific, qualified buyer under a signed confidentiality agreement. That protection is the reason good businesses come to us at all, and it will protect you too on the day you sell.

Not sure you are ready to compete? Take the readiness check — two minutes, and it tells you exactly what sellers compare buyers on.

Get told before it is listed

Most good businesses in this sector are placed with a prepared buyer before they are ever publicly advertised. Buyers on file hear first. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

Start the conversation

Tell us which one you are

Whether you own a trucking company or want to buy one, this is the same first step: a short, confidential conversation with a person who has done this before.

Read personally — never a shared inbox or an auto-responder
Confidential. We do not contact your employees, customers or competitors
No cost and no obligation to do anything with the answer
You can leave anything blank and fill it in later

Handled with care and discretion

Everything you send is treated as confidential. It is read by the person you addressed it to, used only to respond to you, and never sold, shared with foreign entities or used for unsolicited marketing. We do not contact your employees, customers, suppliers or competitors.

Want it in writing first? Say so and we will send a non-disclosure agreement for signature before anything specific is discussed. Plenty of owners prefer that, and nobody is offended by being asked.

Submitting this form does not create a legally binding agreement, an engagement, or a confidentiality obligation on its own — it starts a conversation. Anything binding is a document both sides sign.

A word or a number is fine. This blocks automated submissions.

I agree that Dykstra Consulting may contact me about this inquiry.

A web form submission is not a legally binding agreement and does not create an engagement. If you would like a signed NDA before anything specific is discussed, just say so.

Questions owners actually ask

Trucking & Freight: the questions we get

How do I sell my trucking company?

We value the business on the strength of your freight and your drivers rather than on the fleet, prepare the safety and maintenance record a buyer will demand, and market the company confidentially so your shippers and drivers are not alarmed.

What is my trucking business worth?

Contracted freight, driver retention, safety scores and fleet condition drive it far more than revenue does. Two carriers with identical revenue can be worth very different amounts. The valuation is complimentary and confidential.

Should I sell my authority and fleet separately?

Sometimes that is genuinely the better outcome, and we will say so if it is. But a carrier with dedicated freight and a stable driver base is usually worth considerably more sold as a going concern.
