COASTAL AUTO TRANSPORT
COASTAL AUTO TRANSPORT operates out of PAWTUCKET, RI 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. 2 other licensed auto transport companies are registered in PAWTUCKET.
From the company’s own FMCSA census filing, last updated March 2026.
COASTAL AUTO TRANSPORT has held operating authority since 1997 — 29 years, which puts it among the oldest registrations in the trade and well past the point where most entrants have folded. It reports 3 power units but only 2 drivers, which usually means some of the fleet sits idle or is run by owner-operators contracted per load. The fleet reported 65,127 miles in 2025, about 21,709 per truck — light or seasonal use.

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