Augustus Brokerage / Augustus Transport LLC, operating under DOT #2113218, MC #795476, and D-U-N-S #45-251715, has become a name that shippers and carriers alike are warned to avoid. What began as a simple business transaction with Baker Transport has now escalated in to a documented case of non-payment, total poor communication, and unethical behavior.
Despite multiple freight services successfully rendered by Baker Transport, Augustus Brokerage did not pay the owed invoice. Even more egregiously, the organization blocked Baker Transport's phone number, eliminating all forms of contact with 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 advise that similar patterns of deception have occurred with carriers—raising serious concerns about the corporation’s operational ethics and long-term viability.
Carriers count on brokers for timely, honest, and transparent compensation. Brokers rely on shippers' trust. Augustus Brokerage has failed both. Their business number 800-403-5840 is now linked to repeated complaints of ghosting, invoice dodging, and bad faith negotiations.
If you are a shipper seeking the best broker, or even a carrier looking in order to avoid fraudulent intermediaries, allowed this to be your warning: Do not work with Augustus Brokerage or Augustus Transportation LLC.
