Of total revenues, 50% are generated from top-100 customers, with an additional 1,000+ clients making up the balance. A large portion of revenue is related to the delivery of auto parts sold via retail, wholesale, and car dealerships, where timely delivery of parts is essential and for which demand is constant throughout all economic cycles. The Company provides on-demand, same-day, or next-day delivery services. The Company operates as an “asset-light” business, utilizing over 5,000 Independent Contractors (“I/C”) drivers nationwide. These drivers own & operate their vehicles and are paid based on the completion of a delivery. The Company charges a fuel surcharge based on current fuel costs which contributes to profitability The Company recruits Independent Contractors (“I/C”) drivers nationwide and employee drivers in Western states. Customer churn is low because the Company economically removes the burden of managing driver turnover from its clients by providing that service with a reliable 98%+ on-time performance. The Company does not compete based entirely on price, as most customers consider the size, capability, capacity, and performance history as essential components to a business relationship. Our Client is one of the largest players in the industry. The Company has lined up an immediate pipeline of existing and new customer business which will enable it to double sales by April. Higher sales will enable our Client to rapidly return to profitability.
