  • 120 tractors and 579 trailers with avg. tractor age of 2019
  • Established customer relationships with recurring freight activity
  • Experienced operations team and stable driver workforce
  • Operating under Chapter 11 Trustee with opportunity for 363 acquisition free and clear of liabilities

Company Overview

The Company is a Wisconsin-based trucking and logistics provider with over 45 years of operating history serving industrial, distribution, and logistics customers throughout established Midwest freight corridors. The Company operates refrigerated and dry van transportation with a fleet of 120 tractors and nearly 600 trailers. Supported by an experienced operations team and stable driver workforce, the business continues to generate recurring freight activity and positive operating cash contribution. Since filing Chapter 11, the Company has retained substantially all strategic customers and maintained a stable driver base.

Current Situation

While revenue declined alongside industry-wide freight rate compression, the Company maintained gross margins in the mid-30% range and remained EBITDA positive throughout the downturn. The Company improved EBITDA by approximately 70% in 2025 despite continued industry headwinds, demonstrating the underlying earnings potential of the platform. Operational performance was further complicated by a generational ownership transition that introduced strategic and financial management challenges during a period that demanded decisive action. The Company’s freight business remained active throughout: its geographic density in key Upper Midwest lanes and its long-standing customer relationships represent durable competitive advantages that a buyer can step into on day one, unencumbered by the challenges that ultimately led to the restructuring process.

See Financial Summary table below.
