Potential

• Currently run under semi management. With the owner working only 20 hours a week

• The current owner is knocking back jobs and only cherry picking the jobs that he wants. There is easily a demand for about 2 to 3 more vehicles on the road. Adding an extra 20% to 30% more revenue for a motivated owner/ buyer

• Hire more inhouse drivers to add more profit. Currently there are only 2 full time drivers. There is potential to add 2 or 4 more full time staff to reduce the expense of using sub contractors
