AUTO TRANSPORTER
Registered as HANSON TRANSPORT SERVICES INC
AUTO TRANSPORTER operates out of ATHENS, AL and holds carrier authority. It owns the equipment and its own driver collects your vehicle. A small fleet. Enough trucks to cover a missed pickup, small enough that the person quoting you is likely the person dispatching the driver. It is the only auto transport company registered in ATHENS, 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 April 2025.
AUTO TRANSPORTER has held operating authority since 2001 — 25 years, which puts it among the oldest registrations in the trade and well past the point where most entrants have folded. It reports 2 power units and 2 drivers — a one-to-one roster, the ordinary shape of a small fleet. The fleet reported 200,000 miles in 2023, about 100,000 per truck — hard long-haul use.

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