Trucking Logistics Consultants Ahern Associates Announces Five New Letters Of Intent To Close

Phoenix, AZ, May 10, 2012 Continuing their unparalleled momentum in 2012, the transportation acquisition consulting firm of Ahern and Associates, Ltd., have announced an additional five letters of intents to close on the sale of specific assets. This announcement comes on the heels of their recent assignment where they successfully navigated the sale of DE Transport, Inc.

According to Andy Ahern, CEO of Ahern and Associates, the transportation industry as a whole has seen a marked shift towards consolidation as a result of several factors including increased government regulations and a spike in demand. With the current mandates of CSA compliance and Hours of Service, and shippers demanding more technology, it is becoming increasingly difficult for small to medium sized carriers to survive. Additionally, large trucking companies are having a very difficult time filling their customers needs due to the fact that there are not enough trucks or drivers.

Ahern also explained, Therefore, it is a very interesting business dynamic, because the larger companies need to continue to grow, and expand their footprint to service their customers needs, and the smaller companies are having a very difficult time competing, because they dont have the working capital and technology to grow their business.

Given the rapid pace and need for consolidation in order to survive, Ahern is seeing no sign of slowing, Were continually approached by carriers, logistics, and warehousing companies of all sizes for advice on an exit strategy or to help match them up with larger publicly held companies or private equity firms looking to expand their footprint in transportation.

Just recently, Ahern and Associates celebrated a hallmark event in serving the transportation industry for 25 years
