Mecum Auto Transport
Mecum Auto Transport has a TrustScore of 33/100 and an Avoid rating. It has active FMCSA broker authority, and the reviews we read show some praise for communication and driver professionalism. But the evidence is still limited, with 149 counted reviews across Trustpilot, Google, and BBB, and the newest review is from May 2026. The reviews we read also show repeated complaints about pricing, issue resolution, vehicle condition, and shipment updates, so stronger alternatives should be compared before booking. Its active broker authority is a legal registration, not proof of service quality.

About Mecum Auto Transport
Mecum Auto Transport is a Walworth, Wisconsin-based auto transport company that holds both motor carrier and broker authority. Its legal name is Mecum Transportation LLC. It works from 445 S Main St, the same address and phone line as Mecum Auctions, the collector-car auction house, and it ships collector vehicles to and from Mecum sales across state lines.
Mecum pitches transport as the last piece of its auction business. You consign a car or win one at a Mecum sale, and the same company can haul it to the auction or home afterward. The seller, the auction and the shipper all sit under one roof in Walworth.
The operation is small. FMCSA lists 1 power unit and 1 driver, with 30,000 miles logged for 2024. Its cargo classes are motor vehicles and general freight. Because it also holds broker authority, Mecum can book an outside carrier when its own truck isn't the one making the trip.
Pricing, payment timing and cancellation rules come with each quote. Get them in writing. Ask which company will haul your car, too. If Mecum's own truck carries it, Mecum is the carrier and its cargo policy answers for damage. If the load is brokered, the hauling carrier's policy applies, and you'd file with that carrier.
FMCSA's public record for the company starts in 2017. It is registered under USDOT 3053659 and MC-51200, with active authority as a broker of property and a motor carrier of property. It isn't BBB accredited. BBB's profile at the same Walworth address covers Mecum Auctions, which BBB says started in July 1997.
