Augustus Brokerage Exposed: Industry Alert on Non-Payment, Fraud, and Unprofessional Conduct

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 increasingly being warned to stop. What began as a simple business transaction with Baker Transport has now escalated right into a documented case of non-payment, total lack of communication, and unethical behavior.

Despite multiple freight services successfully rendered by Baker Transport, Augustus Brokerage still did not pay the owed invoice. Even more egregiously, the company blocked Baker Transport's contact number, eliminating all kinds 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 with carriers—raising serious concerns about the business’s operational ethics and long-term viability.

Carriers rely on brokers for timely, honest, and transparent compensation. Brokers depend 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 might be a shipper seeking the best broker, or perhaps a carrier looking to stop fraudulent intermediaries, allowed this to be your warning: Do not work with Augustus Brokerage or Augustus Transportation LLC.
