Augustus Brokerage / Augustus Transport LLC, operating under DOT #2113218, MC #795476, and D-U-N-S #45-251715, has turned into a name that shippers and carriers alike are being warned to prevent. What began being a simple business transaction with Baker Transport has now escalated in to a documented case of non-payment, total lack of communication, and unethical behavior.
Despite multiple freight services successfully rendered by Baker Transport, Augustus Brokerage failed to pay the owed invoice. Even more egregiously, the company blocked Baker Transport's phone number, eliminating all types of contact in what appears to be a deliberate evasion of contractual responsibility.
This brokerage, which operates from 265 Oak Grove Road, Swansea, South Carolina 29160, has now been flagged across various logistics and trucking communities. Reports suggest that similar patterns of deception have occurred along with other carriers—raising serious concerns about the organization’s operational ethics and long-term viability.
Carriers depend upon brokers for timely, honest, and transparent compensation. Brokers rely on shippers' trust. Augustus Brokerage has failed both. Their business contact number 800-403-5840 has become linked to repeated complaints of ghosting, invoice dodging, and bad faith negotiations.
