LIGHTNING AUTO TRANSPORTATION LLC
LIGHTNING AUTO TRANSPORTATION LLC operates out of PHOENIX, AZ 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. PHOENIX is a busy base for the trade — 20 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 May 2026.
LIGHTNING AUTO TRANSPORTATION LLC has held operating authority since 2022. That is 4 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 27,668 miles in 2025, about 27,668 per truck — light or seasonal use.

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