Your reference for car hauling and vehicle transport
TES Transportation is an asset-based carrier that owns and operates its own fleet of 25 car haulers out of Pico Rivera, California. We move vehicles across all 48 contiguous states, from a single family car to full dealer inventory loads.
Because we own the equipment, there is no broker between you and the truck. You deal with the company that actually carries your vehicle. We run every one of the 48 contiguous states from the Pico Rivera terminal — not Alaska, not Hawaii, no international lanes.

How it works
Four steps, one company
From the first message to the keys back in your hand, you are dealing with TES the whole way.
STEP 01
Tell us the route
Send the pickup and delivery points, the vehicle and your preferred date. We usually come back the same day.
STEP 02
We schedule the truck
Dispatch places your vehicle on one of our own trucks already running that lane, and confirms the pickup window.
STEP 03
Pickup and load
Your driver inspects the vehicle with you, loads it on the Cottrell trailer and gets it secured for the road.
STEP 04
Delivery and walkaround
We deliver as close to your door as a full-size hauler can safely reach, and walk the vehicle with you on arrival.

Questions
What people ask before they book
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We hold active FMCSA operating authority under USDOT 2187528 and MC-759428, with $1 million liability coverage on file. All of it is public record you can verify on FMCSA SAFER before you book.
Are you a carrier or a broker?
A direct carrier. We own 25 power units and employ 25 CDL drivers. The company you hire is the company that hauls your car. No middleman, no resold loads.
What does your safety record look like?
Mixed, and we would rather show you than spin it. Across 89 roadside inspections in the last 24 months our driver out-of-service rate is 7.8%, against a national figure of about 13.7%. Our vehicle out-of-service rate is 21.7%, which sits around the national average rather than better than it. The crash record shows zero fatalities and zero injuries, with one tow-away crash. Every number here is on the FMCSA SAFER system under USDOT 2187528.
How many vehicles fit on an open carrier?
Our Cottrell auto-transport trailers carry 9–10 vehicles at a time. That efficiency is why open transport is the best-value way to ship a car, whether it is one vehicle or a dealer load.
Do you offer door-to-door delivery?
Yes. We get as close to both addresses as a full-size hauler can safely operate. Where a street cannot take the truck, your driver arranges a nearby meeting point.
Where are you based?
Our terminal is at 7630 Industry Ave in Pico Rivera, California, just southeast of Los Angeles. We run interstate lanes across all 48 contiguous states.
