DBS AUTO TRANSPORT
Registered as D B SHELTON
DBS AUTO TRANSPORT operates out of OAK RIDGE, TN 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 OAK RIDGE, 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 January 2026.
DBS AUTO TRANSPORT has held operating authority since 2011, 15 years, long enough to have run through both the 2020 collapse in volumes and the rate spike that followed. It reports 1 power unit and 1 driver — a one-to-one roster, the ordinary shape of a small fleet. The fleet reported 30,000 miles in 2025, about 30,000 per truck — light or seasonal use.
