🧠 Valuation Insight: Trucks Break Down. So Can the Deal.

šŸš› Towing companies often show strong revenue—but beware of hidden risks under the hood.

Valuation watchpoints:

  • Owner often drives and dispatches
  • Revenue may be concentrated in one contract (e.g., police rotation)
  • CapEx for trucks is often ignored
  • Addbacks tied to fuel, vehicle depreciation, or cash collection

šŸ“Œ Rule of thumb: If the truck fleet is old and the owner answers every call—value isn’t on solid ground.

āœ… Normalize for fleet replacement, 24/7 labor, and contract risk.
