ElkLake Partners and its affiliate Deal Arc is please to present this Southern Ontario Logistics Company.
Founded in 1969, the Business is a second-generation, family-owned logistics provider specializing in non-consolidated, point-to-point same-day runs across the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding regions.
The Business operates a lean, asset-backed operation consisting of five owned vehicles and outsourced maintenance, supported by a low-cost gravel yard. This model enables high service reliability, rapid dispatch, and minimal overhead. Ownership is preparing for retirement and is willing to remain engaged for up to six months post-close to ensure an orderly transition of customers, routes, and rate structures.
Defensible Same-Day Niche - Direct-to-customer service with rapid dispatch capability that larger networks cannot match. Approximately 90 % of revenue stems from unscheduled, time-critical work.
Diversified Customer Base - Serves 25 to 30 repeat customers annually across multiple sectors, providing revenue stability and low churn.
Blue-Chip Utility Anchor - Is an approved vendor to a large industrial customer for urgent equipment transport.
Lean, Asset-Light Operations - Five-unit owned fleet (Transit van, two GMC 2500 pickups, two 20-ft flatbeds) and outsourced maintenance maintain low fixed costs and high scalability.
Disciplined Pricing & Margin Protection - Structured hourly and mileage-based rate sheets, dynamic fuel surcharge, and annual rate adjustments sustain profitability.
Clear Growth & Smooth Transition Path - Expansion potential through selective LTL capability and light digitization (dispatch/invoicing). Owner available for a six-month transition to ensure relationship continuity.
