What is special or unique about this business?
The Stinger and Hi Fifth Wheel trailers make up the majority of auto carriers in North America, over 95% in fact. The more popular of these two is the Stinger system due to the fact that it can haul 1 to 2 more units on average. It is more profitable to operate the Stinger since operators are typically paid by the vehicle not by the mile. This additional capacity adds 12%-20% more revenue. Imagine filling all your empty miles as well!
The auto carrier industry has been forced to maximize the "head haul" as conventional auto carriers can only haul vehicles until now! With an approximately 40% empty mile factor in this industry, there is plenty of opportunity for operators to take advantage of increased profitability, efficiency, and safely while complying with all Federal transportation regulations. The reduction in carbon footprint is also a tremendous benefit due to the fact that it decreases the numbers of trucks on the road to do the same job as before. The Convertible Auto Carrier system is clearly the modern solution in the auto industry today. Convertible Trailers can appeal to the dedicated auto carrier operator with the Stinger model or the company that operates a fleet of freight decks but would like to improve their efficiency by moving vehicles in their freight runs. The Convertible Trailer system is breaking down the barriers between freight and auto logistics. This is a great solution for the Shipper, the Transportation Company and the CUSTOMER!
Convertible Trailer Manufacturing, a small company with a really big idea!
