Austin, TX • Licensed • Insured
Licensed. Bonded. 49 staffed offices. Verifiable in SAFER right now.
Ship Guy Auto Transport is a federally licensed, bonded auto transport broker — MC #1457715, USDOT #3932149 — operating 49 locally staffed offices across 23 states. Every office keeps the same hours, 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM local time, seven days a week, answered by people who work the market they serve. You can verify our operating authority right now in the FMCSA SAFER database.
We are the dispatch desk, not the truck — and we think you should know exactly what that means before you book. As a licensed broker, Ship Guy arranges your shipment with vetted motor carriers: we verify each carrier’s active FMCSA authority, confirm their cargo insurance certificate before a single vehicle loads, negotiate the rate, schedule the windows, and stay on the phone with you and the driver from pickup through delivery. The $75,000 surety bond federal law requires of every broker stands behind our conduct. You pay nothing until a carrier is actually assigned to your shipment — a policy we hold on every page of this site because it’s the honest way to run this business.
Why use a broker at all? Because no single carrier runs every lane. Our job is knowing which trucks are where, this week, at what price — across 49 markets and every corridor between them — and putting that market knowledge to work for one customer at a time.
Every location listed on this site is a real, staffed office — from Anchorage to Boca Raton, Honolulu to Boston — with a local phone number answered during posted hours by dispatchers who know their own roads: which loop to quote by in Houston, when Fiesta closes which streets in San Antonio, what September 1 means in Boston. The full network is on our locations directory; each city page carries its office address, map, and direct line. National line: (866) 280-3481 • quotes@shipguy.com.
Our rate tables are refreshed quarterly from live lane boards, our city guides are written and reviewed by our own dispatch staff, and when a market has an honest quirk — a spur premium in Corpus Christi, no cross-border hauls in El Paso — we print it rather than paper over it. Candor is cheaper than complaints.
