PETE'S AUTO TRANSPORT INC.
PETE'S AUTO TRANSPORT INC. operates out of DOWNEY, CA and holds carrier authority. It owns the equipment and its own driver collects your vehicle. A mid-sized fleet. This is the size that reliably runs fixed lanes week to week rather than chasing whatever load is nearest. 2 other licensed auto transport companies are registered in DOWNEY.
From the company’s own FMCSA census filing, last updated April 2026.
PETE'S AUTO TRANSPORT INC. has held operating authority since 2003, 23 years, long enough to have run through both the 2020 collapse in volumes and the rate spike that followed. It reports 7 power units and 7 drivers — a one-to-one roster, the ordinary shape of a small fleet. The fleet reported 465,646 miles in 2024, about 66,521 per truck — steady regional running.
