MB AUTO TRANSPORT
Registered as BRIAN MAHLSTEDT
MB AUTO TRANSPORT operates out of LAURENS, IA 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 LAURENS, 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 November 2025.
MB AUTO TRANSPORT 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 2024, about 100,000 per truck — hard long-haul use.
