PRIME AUTO TRANSPORT INC
PRIME AUTO TRANSPORT INC operates out of CITRUS HEIGHTS, CA 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 CITRUS HEIGHTS, 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 March 2025.
PRIME 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 2 power units and 2 drivers — a one-to-one roster, the ordinary shape of a small fleet. The fleet reported 215,346 miles in 2024, about 107,673 per truck — hard long-haul use.

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