An auto hauling company

Buy-side M&A due diligence on a potential acquisition

The situation

  • Multi-year P&L, EBITDA, and Adjusted-EBITDA (SDE) analysis

Where the Money Goes
Where auto haulers quietly leave money on the road

Every trucking company has financial leakage. The question is how much — and whether anyone is looking for it. RPM Advantage comes in, finds it, and fixes it.

Where the money goesWhat it costs you
Equipment decisions
Trucks and trailers bought without full lifecycle cost analysis — the single biggest lever, and where RPM Advantage financing starts.
Unmanaged A/R
A pile of invoices instead of a managed working-capital asset.
Reactive claims handling
Proactive claims identification and timely resolution reduces write-offs and keeps your trucks earning.
Slow month-end close
Decisions made on 45-day-old data instead of current numbers.
Fuel surcharge gaps
Surcharge structures that never recover your actual fuel exposure.
