Northeast Ohio Automotive Freight Carrier, 10 Years
$871,825 Annual Revenue Tied to Recurring Automotive Manufacturer Production Demand
Business Description
Component delivery inside an automotive supply chain runs on precision timing. This Stark County freight operation has met those timing requirements for over a decade, transporting oversized metal components along defined routes that align directly with a major manufacturer's production schedule. The client relationship is active. The routes are established. Revenue of $871,825 reflects demand that originates from manufacturing output, not from sales activity or market conditions.
Overhead stays low by design. No warehouse lease. No commercial office space. Equipment is owned outright and administrative functions run from a home office. That cost structure has held since 2014 and produces $66,932 in seller's discretionary earnings on the current revenue base. Every load runs through a model built to minimize fixed expense.
One person operates this business today. The operational footprint is intentionally lean. Routes are documented, the client relationship is intact, and the equipment transfers with the sale at a FF&E value of $40,000. A buyer steps into an active freight operation with a functioning position inside an automotive supply chain, not a startup requiring route development or client prospecting.
The asking price is $494,900. No inventory. No real estate component.
Business History
Stark County served as the founding location when the company entered the specialized automotive freight segment in 2014. The operation built its service model around a single niche rather than pursuing general freight volume. That decision produced a defined route structure, equipment suited to oversized metal component transport, and a manufacturer relationship that has remained active across more than a decade of continuous service.
The company met the delivery standards that automotive production requires throughout that period. Active operations continue today under the same model established at founding. The business is offered for sale due to the owner's retirement.
Potential Growth and Expansion
The existing manufacturer relationship is the foundation for bidding on additional routes or component types within the same supply chain. No new client development is required to pursue that volume.

Ideal Buyer Profile
$494,900 in available capital covers the full purchase price with no additional real estate or inventory outlay at closing. A valid commercial driver's license is the baseline operational requirement. Buyers with freight, logistics, or automotive supply chain experience step into established routes and an active manufacturer relationship from day one. The transition period requires hands-on daily involvement. An owner prepared to add driver capacity has a direct path to revenue growth without building new client relationships from scratch. This operation does not suit a passive investor or an absentee owner.
