SANTOS AUTO TRANSPORTS
Registered as JOSE S RUIZ
SANTOS AUTO TRANSPORTS operates out of HIDALGO, TX 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. 3 other licensed auto transport companies are registered in HIDALGO.
From the company’s own FMCSA census filing, last updated July 2024.
SANTOS AUTO TRANSPORTS has held operating authority since 1999 — 27 years, which puts it among the oldest registrations in the trade and well past the point where most entrants have folded. It reports 1 power unit and 1 driver — a one-to-one roster, the ordinary shape of a small fleet. The fleet reported 25,000 miles in 2024, about 25,000 per truck — light or seasonal use.

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