MDL DRIVEAWAY & TRANSPORT
Registered as MELVIN B LEFORBES
MDL DRIVEAWAY & TRANSPORT operates out of RIVERSIDE, CA 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. RIVERSIDE is a busy base for the trade — 6 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 2025.
MDL DRIVEAWAY & TRANSPORT has held operating authority since 2016, 10 years, long enough to have run through both the 2020 collapse in volumes and the rate spike that followed. It reports 1 power unit and 1 driver — a one-to-one roster, the ordinary shape of a small fleet. The fleet reported 60,000 miles in 2024, about 60,000 per truck — steady regional running.

Take MC 978358 to the FMCSA licensing register and confirm three things: the authority still reads ACTIVE, cargo insurance 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.
