Market Transport is a leading asset-light logistics company that serves the full-truckload market. The company’s logistics division provides integrated nationwide transportation services for the company’s major customers using contract carriers, exclusive agents, rail carriers and its own fleet. The company’s fleet division manages company trucks and owner operators that serve a variety of customers on routes throughout the Western states.
In 2002, Endeavour partnered with Market Transport’s management team to buy the majority of the company from its founder (who remained a minority investor). John von Schlegell had served on the Board of Directors since 1997. During Endeavour’s period of ownership, Market Transport hired a new CFO (who later became President) and completed three acquisitions that significantly expanded the company’s geographic footprint and non-asset-based brokerage capabilities. During Endeavour’s involvement, Market Transport grew sales by more than three times. Endeavour exited its investment in 2006. The company’s former CEO is now an Endeavour investor.
