ORION AUTO TRANSPORT INC
ORION AUTO TRANSPORT INC operates out of JOHNSTON, 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. 1 other licensed auto transport company is registered in JOHNSTON.
From the company’s own FMCSA census filing, last updated August 2025.
ORION AUTO TRANSPORT INC has held operating authority since 2014, 12 years, long enough to have run through both the 2020 collapse in volumes and the rate spike that followed. It reports 3 power units and 3 drivers — a one-to-one roster, the ordinary shape of a small fleet. The fleet reported 100,000 miles in 2024, about 33,333 per truck — light or seasonal use.
