What to know
What to know about buying a freight & cargo business
How freight & cargo businesses are valued
Asking prices are set as a multiple of earnings: 3x–8x annual profit, depending on customer loyalty, team, and how lean the operation is.
Where you land in that range depends on how many customers come back regularly, whether your team handles things without you, and how well you manage cash flow and collections.
- Customers who keep coming back
- Revenue spread across many customers and routes
- A dispatch team that runs without you
- Healthy cash flow and good collections
What buyers of freight & cargo businesses look for
- Freight companies looking to add new routes, services, or coverage areas
- Logistics companies building scale through acquisitions
- First-time buyers with supply chain or operations backgrounds who want a business with repeat revenue
- Companies in related fields like warehousing, customs, or delivery looking to add freight capabilities
The first questions buyers ask:
- Margin Mix. Where does your gross profit actually come from, by customer, by lane, by mode?
- Cash Float. What’s the cash float, and how many days are you funding loads?
- Claims & OS&D. What happens when a claim, OS&D (Overage, Shortage, and Damage), or accessorial dispute hits, and who ultimately pays?

What to Look For
Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.
Actual Profit Margins
- Freight revenue can look large because it includes what you pay carriers. The number that matters is profit after carrier costs.
- Ask for a P&L that separates gross revenue from net margin, and make sure you understand what's included before putting weight on the headline.
- Some brokerages bundle ancillary fees into gross revenue in ways that inflate the picture — worth clarifying early.
Customer Loyalty and Concentration
- Ask how long the top accounts have been shipping with the business and how often they come back.
- Freight businesses where 80% or more of revenue comes from repeat customers who've been around for years offer a much more comfortable foundation than ones constantly hunting new loads.
- Also look at whether any single customer makes up a large chunk of total revenue, since that concentration shapes the risk picture significantly.
Carrier Network and Partner Relationships
- The quality of the carrier relationships directly affects service reliability and the ability to cover loads during tight market periods.
- Ask about the depth of the carrier network, how long those relationships have been in place, and whether the dispatch team manages them or whether they're tied primarily to the owner.
- Carrier relationships that belong to the business rather than one person's contact list are far more transferable.
Cash Flow and Collections
- Freight can have a challenging cash cycle: you pay carriers before customers pay you.
- Find out how quickly customers pay, what days-outstanding typically looks like, and whether there are any significant overdue accounts.
- Strong collections discipline and low bad debt are signs of a well-run operation and worth verifying before you commit to a deal structure.

How do I contact the owner of a business I found on Rejigg?
Create a free Rejigg account; owners, and the brokers who run some sales, only hear from buyers through the platform. Open the listing to see the full profile: city, team size, financials, what is for sale, and the reason for selling. Sign Rejigg's standard Fee & Confidentiality Agreement for that business; it is the same form for every deal. Verify your phone, then send your pitch from the listing. Replies, meetings, and documents all run through Rejigg.
Can I email Rejigg to get introduced to an owner?
No. Rejigg does not forward emails to owners or brokers, so a note to support@ or hello@ with a listing link will not reach them. Create a free account, open the listing, sign the agreement for that business, verify your phone, and send your pitch; that reaches them in a few minutes.
Where does your gross profit actually come from, by customer, by lane, by mode?
Buyers are underwriting gross profit per load and whether it holds when the market swings. In cargo, a blended margin can hide the fact that one hot lane, one shipper, or a few accessorial-heavy accounts carried the year. They want proof the margin is repeatable, and they want to understand what changed when it tightened.
What’s the cash float, and how many days are you funding loads?
Freight can look profitable and still choke on cash when carriers get paid faster than shippers pay you. Buyers are trying to see if they need to add cash on day one and whether your credit discipline actually prevents bad debt. They also want to know what happens in peak months when float and disputes usually spike.
What happens when a claim, OS&D (Overage, Shortage, and Damage), or accessorial dispute hits, and who ultimately pays?
Claims can wipe out a quarter fast in cargo if they are frequent or handled loosely. Buyers look at how often claims happen, how big they get, what keeps repeating, and whether you recover from carriers or insurance when you should. They also want to understand your shipper contracts, so you are not taking on liability you didn’t price for.
Is your capacity real on your core lanes, or are you living on the spot market?
Buyers pay more for cargo businesses that can cover core lanes in a tight market without blowing up margin. They want to see repeat carriers by lane, backup options when tenders get rejected, and a clear process when a truck falls off. A big carrier list does not help if it is not active on the lanes that matter.
What happens when a big shipper rebids, pauses a facility, or changes routing guides?
In freight, concentration usually stacks up as one shipper plus one lane plus one facility. Buyers want to see how much gross profit disappears if you lose a lane award, a plant, or a routing guide position. They also look for proof you can replace volume without sliding into low-margin spot coverage.
How do you price fuel, detention, and other accessorials so you don’t bleed margin?
Thin margins are normal in freight, so accessorial collection matters more than people expect. Buyers look for consistent documentation, billing discipline, and a low level of write-offs that function like silent discounts. They also use this to judge how tight your dispatch-to-billing handoff really is.
