Carthage Marine Boat And Yacht Transport History
Carthage Marine Transport was founded in 2003 by Brooks R Gubser, the principle owner. The company was started by Brooks so that
his son, Travis could haul and move a few single boats using his pickup truck. Brooks was in the process of retiring from a major global
dairy manufacturer after working in management positions with that company for 40 years and was looking for something meaningful to
occupy his time after retirement.
After starting the business in this small way, Brooks looked at the boat transportation industry and it appeared to him that the industry
was dominated by boat haulers and boat shipping companies that did not operate honestly, legally, or with integrity. Brooks' work history
was with a very reputable company that was successful primarily by focusing on the customer's requirements and this focus on the
customer appeared to be almost non-existent in the boat transportation industry. It appeared there might be a niche in the industry for a
company that would deliver a premium service by being honest in its dealings with everyone, operated legally and safely, placed
emphasis on the needs of the employees, and most of all, recognized the importance of delivering to the customer a quality service that
would meet the requirements of the customer.
Carthage Marine Transport has successfully developed this niche in boat transportation and has expanded to the transportation of large
boats and yachts. We have found the same basic philosophies apply to this part of the business as well. Our primary objective is to
provide damage free, on time delivery of boats and yachts. CMT will meet this objective by adhering to our core beliefs of honesty, safety,
regulatory compliance, employee relations, and customer service.
This unique blend of beliefs in the marine transportation industry has allowed CMT to grow at a rate of 40% per year to its current level.
Carthage Marine Transport remains committed to the basic philosophies that the company was built on.

Carthage Marine Transport Growth/Business Plan
Carthage Marine Transport growth during the first 5 years was at a level of 40% per year. The business plan for the next 5 years shows
continued growth in sales, however at a planned rate reduced to 10%-20% per year. This level of growth will allow the company to
continue to increase its market share in the yacht transportation segment, but at a level more compatible with the operation's capability
for growth and continued improvement.
The planned reduced rate of growth will be accomplished by cutting back on any high risk type of customers while increasing the quality
type of customers more in line with our company philosophies and long term plans, reducing and improving our brokerage system by
implementing a carrier qualification program to insure only highest quality yacht transportation carriers are used, and enhanced vetting in
our employee hiring efforts to insure only premium, top quality owner operators and drivers are hired.
