One-of-a-kind Specialization
With over 50 years of experience representing transportation & logistics clients, The Tenney Group’s industry-specialized process is designed to address the many unique pitfalls that limit what transportation business owners can accomplish at the closing table — and, sometimes, their ability to sell at all.
“As a $100M company, we could have hired any big-name investment bank. We hired Tenney Group because we liked them and felt they understood our business and how to position it for maximum value. That was a great decision.”
Dennis Munson, Former Owner of LinnStar Transfer

Value Creation & Strategy

“Tenney Group has been instrumental in sourcing acquisition opportunities that clearly align with our strategic growth vision. Their trusted reputation in the T&L industry opened doors to owners and opportunities we couldn’t have accessed alone, delivering meaningful value to our team and institutional shareholders.”
Stephen Pesche, Former Investor at Brookfield Asset Management ($1 Trillion AUM)
