JACK KEY AUTO TRANSPORT, INC.
JACK KEY AUTO TRANSPORT, INC. operates out of DALLAS, TX and holds carrier authority. It owns the equipment and its own driver collects your vehicle. A mid-sized fleet. This is the size that reliably runs fixed lanes week to week rather than chasing whatever load is nearest. DALLAS is a busy base for the trade — 10 other licensed companies are registered in the same city, which usually means competitive pricing on lanes out of it.
From the company’s own FMCSA census filing, last updated July 2025.
JACK KEY AUTO TRANSPORT, INC. has held operating authority since 1986 — 40 years, which puts it among the oldest registrations in the trade and well past the point where most entrants have folded. It reports 15 power units but only 10 drivers, which usually means some of the fleet sits idle or is run by owner-operators contracted per load. The fleet reported 663,369 miles in 2024, about 44,225 per truck — light or seasonal use.
