Storage Container Transportation business

Established container and trailer trucking company for sale that specializes in moving empty shipping containers and container offices in and around Texas and the surrounding states including Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas & New Mexico. Use of a combination of trained drivers and special heavy-duty equipment ensure customers' long term moves are hassle free. Services include delivery, pick-up, move on site (MOS) and relocation of the containers. Multi-billion dollar industry. Not to be confused with intermodal freight operations which are an entirely different industry involving the actual shipment of the freight within the containers. This business transports the empty container for a completely different use. Types of containers include Mobile Mini, Williams/Scotsman and Mobile Modular. Typically a 3rd party buys the containers and after renting them out to constructions sites will use the services to actually transport the container to the appropriate site. Customers include Mobile Mini, Container Storage, Excalibur Containers and United Rental. Have similar customer base as those with competitor by the name of Dascke. Drivers currently with the company are more dependable than most as the owner pays them extremely well (typically around 30% of the gross revenue) and provides health insurance. Seller will provide on-site training after the purchase, assist in securing retention of employees and transfer of supplier relationships, provide on-call telephone assistance after completion of the training and sign a no competition agreement Assets include 5 heavy duty freight trucks to haul the large containers plus 5 specially constructed & modified Landall trailers and 3 rollback carrier vehicles for the smaller jobs. Current liquidation or re-sale/loan value can be verified at $450,000. Upside potential of the business currently not being pursued because of the owner’s health which includes transportation of storage van trailers, loaded containers, medium duty rental equipment (forklifts and manual lifts) and ground level storage containers. Quite a bit of competition in this industry but the market for these type of services remains consistent.
