TRADEWINDS AUTO TRANSPORT LLC
TRADEWINDS AUTO TRANSPORT LLC operates out of DURHAM, CT and holds broker authority. It does not own the truck: it posts your vehicle to a national dispatch board and a carrier takes the load. This company has not filed a power-unit count in its most recent FMCSA update, so we do not publish one. It is the only auto transport company registered in DURHAM, 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 2026.
TRADEWINDS AUTO TRANSPORT LLC has held operating authority since 2005, 21 years, long enough to have run through both the 2020 collapse in volumes and the rate spike that followed.

Check TRADEWINDS AUTO TRANSPORT LLC before you pay
Take MC 540151 to the FMCSA licensing register and confirm three things: the authority still reads ACTIVE, the $75,000 broker bond is on file, and the company name matches whoever is asking for your deposit. Our data is a snapshot of the federal register, not a recommendation, and authority can lapse between refreshes.
