Canadian trucking and logistics is a sustained M&A hotbed. Driver shortages, capacity constraints, and PE consolidation have lifted multiples. Owner-operator companies still face transferability challenges, but well-run companies with 10+ drivers sell at 3x–5x EBITDA, more for specialty (oversize, hazmat, refrigerated).
