Carthage Marine Boat Transport History
Carthage Marine Transport is a family owned and operated boat transportation company located near Carthage, Missouri.
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 and boat transportation brokers 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, placing 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 the boat transportation industry by focusing on the primary areas we
believe are necessary for success; honesty, safety, regulatory compliance, employee relations, and customer service. Our primary
objective is to provide damage free, on time delivery of boats, primarily to the boat manufacturers, which is the primary base of our
company.
This unique blend of beliefs in the boat transportation industry has allowed the company to grow at a rate of 40% per year to its current
level. Additional information on the history is in a Joplin Globe article published April, 2006, Big Boats Cruise Along On Big Trucks.
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. Such growth will allow the company to continue to
increase its market share in the boat 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 boat transportation carriers are used, and enhanced vetting in
our employee hiring efforts to insure only premium, top quality owner operators and drivers are hired.
Whoops-I didn't see the recession coming and our rate of growth was not only reduced, but set back to a level that almost put the
business under. CMT did the necessary items such as belt tightening and business redirection and has emerged as a healthy company
ready for growth once again. How severe was this restructuring on CMT? At the highest level, CMT had 18 trucks operating and within a
few months had onll 7 trucks in operation.
Our plans on boat and yacht transportation capacity is to continue to have a mix of about 50% owner operators trucks and 50% trucks
owned by Brooks or Travis Gubser.
Our success and growth is dependent upon the successful utilization of our assets and values and by providing superior customer
service satisfaction, the growth and profit of Carthage Marine Transport will continue to provide job security for our employees.
