Turn our Insights into your Assets
After years of attempting to steer the Linehaul macro-verse toward a consistent methodology for valuing Linehaul Routes or “Runs,” the Linehaul Solutions team has decided to offer our Linehaul IQ service as a separate option for anyone looking to buy a Linehaul deal.
We believe our greatest service to the Linehaul community has been the massive number of potential buyers we have talked out of buying a business.
Before engaging a seller or broker, allow us to review the deal, provide you with industry insights and expertise, and ensure the value of the business is actually there. With Linehaul IQ, we go beyond the value—we analyze the ownability of a set of runs.
Why You Need Linehaul IQ
Our biggest contribution to the Linehaul community? Talking people out of bad deals.
Seriously. We've saved buyers from overpaying for businesses that looked good on paper but were absolute dumpster fires in reality.
Before you even think about wiring a deposit to a seller or broker, ask yourself:
🚨 DO NOT send a deposit until you’ve seen actual settlement statements and an A-1.
We’ve seen too many people get burned because they trusted the wrong person. Don’t be next.

Documents Needed for a Complete Valuation
These items are ideal for gaining a complete understanding of the value of the business. We understand you may not have access to all of them, which is not a problem—we can provide an initial valuation and insights based on what you have.
If the deal progresses, we will advise you on which additional documents are necessary before deciding whether or not to submit a Letter of Intent (LOI).
1 / Settlement Statements for 3 months in CSV format
2 / Schedule A-1 from TSPA
3 / Payroll for drivers (note: payroll journals can be challenging to match to runs)
4 / Truck list with mileage and year
5 / Leased vs. Owned trucks, with actual cost per month and mileage rate
6 / Safety Equipment Vendors used
7 / Is there a manager? If so, salary details
8 / Previous Year 1098 from FedEx (or final statement showing Year-End Revenue)
9 / How long have they owned the business?
10 / Are you looking to use SBA financing for this purchase?
Additional Information We May Need
During the Valuation Process, we may need more details to fully understand how the business is operating. For example, with spot runs, we may need to go back further to ensure there’s consistency and that the runs have been “owned” for a significant period.
We have a program that can load CSV files, so they are our preferred format. If you only have access to PDF files from the broker or seller, we can still work with those.
Valuation Timeline
On average, we estimate 48-72 hours to properly value the business. However, some businesses may be more complex, requiring additional time. In such cases, we’ll let you know right away.
If you need a rush valuation, please email us the specifics, and we will do our best to accommodate your timeline.
