MBA Logistics

What MBA Logistics does

MBA Logistics, LLC is a privately held auto transport brokerage headquartered in Bowling Green, Kentucky, operating as a DOT-licensed and FMCSA-bonded intermediary that arranges vehicle transport for private individuals and commercial clients across all 50 U.S. states. Founded in 2012, the company employs approximately 9 people and does not own or operate a trucking fleet; instead, it connects customers with a network of independent, licensed, and insured motor carriers that physically transport vehicles. The firm offers six core services — Door-to-Door Service, Enclosed Transport, Commercial Relocating, Time-Sensitive Moves, Inoperable Vehicles, and Free Quotes — covering standard open transport, premium weather-protected transport, expedited shipping, and specialized handling of non-functional vehicles.

The company runs on a traditional brokerage model with no proprietary technology platform disclosed. Its digital infrastructure is composed of standard third-party SaaS services, including AWS for hosting, Cloudflare for DNS and security, Stripe for credit card and bank transfer processing, PayPal, Zelle, and Venmo for consumer payments, Resend for transactional email, and Google reCAPTCHA for form spam protection. Lead capture occurs via a website quote form and a dedicated phone line, with no mobile app, API, or self-service booking tool exposed. Pricing is quote-based, with no published rate cards; revenue is generated through brokerage commissions embedded in the final quoted price when orders are confirmed, and the company may also act as a carrier for some shipments.

The go-to-market motion is sales-led and inbound, relying on organic search-driven website traffic, content marketing through an SEO-focused blog with posts dated January through March 2025, and direct phone and email contact. Target customers are primarily individual consumers relocating for personal reasons (state-to-state moves, snowbird seasonal relocations, college transfers, online vehicle purchases, classic and antique car transport), with a secondary commercial segment serving car dealerships and businesses with high-volume or fleet transport needs. No revenue, funding, or headcount growth data is disclosed.
