Have you considered buying or selling a transportation business? In this episode, Justin Bailie, Co-founder of Rose Rocket, sits down with Meghan Meurer, Chief Commercial Officer at Tenney Group, to discuss mergers and acquisitions for transportation businesses. Here are three key takeaways for anyone considering M&A in the transportation industry: 1️⃣ Understanding the M&A Market: Meghan highlights the recent trends in the M&A market, emphasizing the importance of scalability and profitability for asset light operations. With an uptick in activity, it's crucial for companies to be aware of buyer profiles and market dynamics to make informed decisions. 2️⃣ Deal Structure Matters: The value of a business isn't solely determined by revenue or EBITDA multiples. The structure of the deal, including contingent considerations and risk-sharing mechanisms, plays a significant role in maximizing the value of a transaction. Buyers and sellers need to focus on de-risking the deal to ensure a smoother and more profitable outcome. 3️⃣ Educate Yourself: Succession planning and preparing for a potential sale require education and strategic planning. Meghan stressed the importance of starting the educational process early, engaging with advisory groups, and considering creative ways to transfer ownership or equity within the business.

How is AI changing the landscape of the trucking industry? 🚚🤖 Justin Bailie, Co-founder of Rose Rocket, sits down with Matthew Leffler, The Armchair Attorney, to discuss the future of the supply chain industry, the impact of AI, and connected trailers. Here are three key takeaways from this insightful discussion: 1️⃣ Trends and Forces in the Industry: Trends and forces in the industry are constantly evolving, and it's crucial for companies to adapt and build towards the future. The rise of AI is reshaping the landscape, making tasks more efficient and driving costs down. Imagine a future where mundane tasks are handled by AI, allowing humans to focus on more strategic and creative endeavors. 2️⃣ The Power of Connected Trailers: One asset class that truly excites Matthew is trailers. In the supply chain, trailers are the backbone of freight movement. With less than one third of trailers currently equipped with telematics, the potential for connected trailers is immense. The future of autonomous trucks relies heavily on smart and connected trailers, enabling seamless communication and making freight movement more efficient. 3️⃣ Job Evolution in the Industry: While automation may lead to the elimination of certain jobs, it also creates new opportunities. With the advancement of technology, roles like mobile trailer inspectors and mobile truck inspectors will become increasingly important.
