How this calculator works

The trucking calculator analyzes 209 disclosed M&A transactions in our database against your inputs, then applies adjustments specific to trucking businesses (margin vs the vertical median, growth trend, recurring revenue mix, owner dependency, customer concentration). Output is a tight range around the most-likely transaction value, with the underlying multiples revealed on the results page.

What drives premium multiples in trucking

  • Dedicated/contract freight as majority of revenue (vs spot-market exposure)
  • Specialized equipment (refrigerated, flatbed, hazmat command premium multiples)
  • Multi-driver operation with operations manager (less owner-driver risk)

What compresses trucking multiples

  • Spot-market dependent revenue (cyclical, freight recession exposure)
  • Owner is also the lead driver (key-person risk priced in heavily)
  • Aged fleet without recent capex (buyer absorbs replacement cost in offer)
