AMERICAN DRIVEAWAY LLC
AMERICAN DRIVEAWAY LLC operates out of COWDEN, IL and holds carrier authority. It owns the equipment and its own driver collects your vehicle. This company has not filed a power-unit count in its most recent FMCSA update, so we do not publish one. It is the only auto transport company registered in COWDEN, so a local pickup here is usually arranged rather than dispatched from down the road.
From the company’s own FMCSA census filing, last updated August 2025.
AMERICAN DRIVEAWAY LLC has held operating authority since 2014, 12 years, long enough to have run through both the 2020 collapse in volumes and the rate spike that followed.

Our data is a snapshot of the federal register, not a recommendation, and authority can lapse between refreshes.
