OCEAN STATE AUTO TRANSPORT
OCEAN STATE AUTO TRANSPORT operates out of CRANSTON, RI and holds carrier authority. It owns the equipment and its own driver collects your vehicle. A small fleet. Enough trucks to cover a missed pickup, small enough that the person quoting you is likely the person dispatching the driver. It is the only auto transport company registered in CRANSTON, 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 August 2025.
OCEAN STATE 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 2 power units and 2 drivers — a one-to-one roster, the ordinary shape of a small fleet. The fleet reported 86,287 miles in 2024, about 43,144 per truck — light or seasonal use.

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