Mining Equipment Distribution & Transport

This company serves the mining industry in four states, as a distributor of a variety of mining tools and accessories and a provider of short-haul “hot-shot” trucking services – on-demand, fast-turn around transportation. They are unique in that they rarely stock products as inventory, instead selling them on consignment or having manufacturers ship directly to customers. The transport side of the Company’s business has grown steadily and continues to offer a profitable mechanism for continued growth. While the fees for the service are often higher than others in the market, The Company’s level of service and reliability separate their hot shot trucking services from competitors and have allowed them to sign long term hauling contracts with some of their customers. Due to the hot-shot nature of the company’s trucking services, mining customers pay rates that cover the route in both directions, full and empty, resulting in very few “dead head” miles. The Company has enjoyed consistent growth and strong margins.

No one customer provides over 13% of revenue and the top 40 customers contribute 79% of revenue, with the top 100 providing 88%. The Company’s founding partners have continuously managed the business and believe that it will require additional capital and/or a merger to achieve The Company’s potential in the rapidly growing transportation market.  Management has expressed a desire to continue with The Company in the event of a full or partial acquisition by a third party. 

The Company’s headquarters is close to an interstate highway and is located on 10 acres of land in a 10,000 square foot facility.

They tend to have stores where competitors don’t have a presence, and they also offer a greater selection of brand-name, full-size merchandise than other dollar stores. The company has the opportunity to grow by increasing their presence in markets that are underserved by competing dollar store chains, and by capitalizing on the loyalty they have earned among their customers.
