CALIFORNIA DRIVE AWAY CO.
CALIFORNIA DRIVE AWAY CO. operates out of CITY OF INDUSTRY, CA and holds carrier authority. It owns the equipment and its own driver collects your vehicle. A single-truck operation. One driver, one trailer, and a schedule that is theirs alone — which usually means personal contact and a narrower set of dates. It is the only auto transport company registered in CITY OF INDUSTRY, 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 July 2025.
CALIFORNIA DRIVE AWAY CO. has held operating authority since 2000 — 26 years, which puts it among the oldest registrations in the trade and well past the point where most entrants have folded. It reports 1 power unit against 4 drivers, so the equipment runs more than one shift — a sign of a fleet kept busy rather than parked. The fleet reported 7,800 miles in 2024, about 7,800 per truck — light or seasonal use.
