The History of AutoStar Transport Express
Driven by Integrity, Built for the Future
How AutoStar Transport Express Began
The story of AutoStar Transport Express began in 2007 when our Operations Director, after years in the auto transport industry, grew frustrated by widespread issues: customers treated as an afterthought, carriers misled, and hardworking coordinators undervalued.
Determined to do better, he joined forces with our IT and Administrative Directors to launch AutoStar Transport Express. Their shared vision was simple yet powerful: create a car shipping company built on transparency, fairness, and genuine customer care — supported by a diverse and passionate team.
Building Our Reputation and Early Growth
Starting with just a small team of 2–3 people, we quickly earned the trust of carriers by offering honest communication and fair pricing. We moved around 500 vehicles annually — many from loyal repeat customers who immediately recognized the AutoStar Transport Express difference.
Today, AutoStar Transport Express has grown into a dynamic team of over 50 talented individuals from across the globe. Together, we ship more than 30,000 vehicles every year, providing services across all 50 states and internationally.
Our achievements have not gone unnoticed:
- Ranked No. 3719 in the 2022 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in America
- Ranked No. 171 in the 2023 Inc. 5000 Regionals: Southeast, with an impressive 82% growth over two years
