LIGHTNING CAR TRANSPORT

Active FMCSA authority Bonded

LIGHTNING CAR TRANSPORT operates out of CHICAGO, IL and holds broker authority. It does not own the truck: it posts your vehicle to a national dispatch board and a carrier takes the load. This company has not filed a power-unit count in its most recent FMCSA update, so we do not publish one. CHICAGO is a busy base for the trade — 8 other licensed companies are registered in the same city, which usually means competitive pricing on lanes out of it.

Check LIGHTNING CAR TRANSPORT before you pay

Take MC 1483903 to the FMCSA licensing register and confirm three things: the authority still reads ACTIVE, the $75,000 broker bond is on file, and the company name matches whoever is asking for your deposit. Our data is a snapshot of the federal register, not a recommendation, and authority can lapse between refreshes.
