Due diligence
What to Look For
Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.
Fleet Condition and Records
- Ask for a vehicle list with age, mileage, maintenance records, and any inspection results from the carrier.
- A well-documented fleet tells you whether you're walking into surprise repair costs in year one or inheriting something that's been looked after.
- Spare vehicle capacity is worth asking about, since a breakdown that pulls a truck off a route can affect your compliance numbers.
Contract and Territory Strength
- Ask to see the contract, the territory map, and the renewal history.
- Protected territories with a major carrier are the foundation of the business, and the question worth getting comfortable with is whether volume in those routes is flat, growing, or declining.
- Route volume trends are something the seller can show you directly with delivery data.
Driver Retention
- Ask how long the current driver roster has been in place and how many drivers have left in the past two years.
- Turnover is the most common operational headache in this business, and low turnover in a good service area with competitive pay is a sign the previous owner figured out the hard part.
- A driver roster that's been stable for two or more years is one of the strongest indicators you'll find that the operation runs smoothly.
Management Layer
- Confirm who handles dispatching, driver coverage, and station communication and how long those managers have been in their roles.
- The most transferable delivery businesses are ones where managers run daily operations without the owner's involvement.
- If the owner is regularly covering routes or filling in for drivers, that's a transition risk worth factoring into your plan.
