These are great reasons that routes can be fantastic business to own. Sellers shove these reasons down your throat.
Sellers aren’t lying to you. They’ve just OMITTED certain unpleasant truths.
I can tell you that some routes are VERY stressful, risky, and borderline unprofitable.
Some routes are semi-absentee, low-risk, and highly lucrative.
But let me guess…the deal you’re looking at has a seller that says their route is awesome. They say it’s “absentee owned, has a manager in place, and is massively profitable!”
How do I know this? Because sellers know typical buyers can’t tell the difference between routes. A buyer can’t distinguish between a terrible route, a great route, and a terrible route that can be made great.
I’m here to show you how to find out if their claims are BS or not.
We’ll cover several objectives like:
✅ Avoid common pitfalls with many route acquisitions and increase your odds of success
✅ Discuss whether linehaul routes are going to be right business for you in general,
✅ Determine if the linehaul route you’re looking at is worth evaluating deeper or not,
✅ Go over a checklist of documents you need from the broker/seller,
✅ Discuss any documentation you may already have,
✅ Understand the real reasons why some contractors love this business (and why some hate it),
✅ Go over things to look for in your on-site evaluation,
✅ Analyze documents from the broker such as forms, settlements, P&Ls, etc
Most new owners are only concerned about the financial due diligence. There’s actually 3 critical pillars of due diligence for routes:
1) Ease of Management – Make sure you understand what’s REALLY required to successfully maintain and manage routes
2) Net Income – Determine the best we can if a seller has exaggerated their income claims
3) Sustainability – Make sure the business can continue to generate income
Linehaul is a very simple model and the courses I have focus on P&D exclusively. The courses are overkill for someone just looking at FedEx Linehaul only.
That’s not the case with Linehaul.
There are specific things you need to know to both mitigate and expose risk points. The good news is that those risk points are quickly and easily covered. Because of this, we use 1-on-1 training calls for Linehaul evaluations.
How do we work together?
I currently work on the Clarity platform. Clarity is a service that allows us to schedule calls that work for both our schedules. This way we can connect to discuss whatever questions you have on Linehaul.
We can also lay out a roadmap for you to start moving forward. The Clarity platform also allows you to pay for exactly how much time you need. For many linehaul evaluations, the strategies I share are quickly covered in 2 or 3 separate calls.
If I help you find a fantastic profitable business, fantastic. If I help you avoid the entire industry and save you hundreds of thousands of dollars, fantastic. Either way, you win.
Two important things to know:
My consulting model is different from what you may have seen with others.
1) There are no hidden upsells with any of the training that I do and don’t hold anything back, and
2) Once we go through a deal together, you can use those exact strategies and frameworks on other deals you look at. So if this deal falls through, it’s going to be easy for you to evaluate the next one.
Book a call if you want to go through the evaluation together or even just figure out if routes are right for you. Either way, we’ll lay out a roadmap for you to get moving forward.
