EMPIRE AUTO TRANSPORT LLC
EMPIRE AUTO TRANSPORT LLC operates out of LEXINGTON, KY 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. 2 other licensed auto transport companies are registered in LEXINGTON.
From the company’s own FMCSA census filing, last updated April 2026.
EMPIRE AUTO TRANSPORT LLC has held operating authority since 2019. That is 7 years in a trade where a large share of new entrants do not reach five. It reports 1 power unit and 1 driver — a one-to-one roster, the ordinary shape of a small fleet. The fleet reported 100,000 miles in 2021, about 100,000 per truck — hard long-haul use.
