Auctus Capital Partners is pleased to announce that it acted as exclusive financial advisor to United Transportation LLC (“United Transportation” or the “Company”), a leading full-service trucking, logistics, and freight forwarding firm serving the upper Midwest, on the sale of a majority of its membership interest to Graxon Logistics LLC. The transaction provides liquidity to the Company’s ownership while positioning United Transportation for its next phase of growth under a well-capitalized strategic partner.
For decades, United Transportation has efficiently moved freight for clients across Chicagoland and the broader Midwest. The Company offers a comprehensive suite of services, including less-than-truckload (LTL) capabilities, local cartage, reefer and dry van transport, flatbed hauling, air freight, ocean LCL, freight forwarding, and warehousing. United Transportation also owns and operates a bonded, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Certified Cargo Screening Facility (CCSF), supported by a fleet of specialized equipment including tractors, reefer containers, roller beds, dry vans, and lowboys.
Backed by a team of logistics experts, drivers, and operations specialists, the Company is known for personalized service on every shipment, regardless of size, and can accommodate the full spectrum of transport requirements, including tandem, multi-axle, and over-dimensional loads. With trucks on the road 24/7, satellite-monitored shipments, continuous online tracking, and proof-of-delivery notification, United Transportation has earned a strong reputation and long-standing customer relationships across manufacturing, logistics, and fourth-party logistics (4PL) end markets.
As demand for flexible supply chains, air cargo, and specialized freight services continues to grow, United Transportation’s ownership engaged Auctus Capital Partners to evaluate strategic alternatives and identify a partner positioned to support the Company’s long-term growth. Auctus designed and executed a targeted, competitive sale process, engaging a select group of strategic and financial buyers to maximize value and secure the optimal outcome for the Company’s stakeholders.
The transaction, through which Graxon Logistics LLC acquired a majority of United Transportation’s membership interest, provides the Company with additional resources and strategic support to expand its service offering, invest in its fleet and screening capabilities, and capitalize on favorable trends across the freight and logistics market.
“We were proud to advise the United Transportation team throughout this process,” said the Managing Director at Auctus Capital Partners, who led the engagement. “United Transportation has built a differentiated, full-service logistics platform with specialized capabilities and a loyal customer base. We are pleased to have helped the Company’s ownership identify a strong strategic partner in Graxon Logistics to support its continued growth.”
Auctus Capital Partners served as exclusive financial advisor to United Transportation throughout the transaction.
