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 developed into a name that shippers and carriers alike are being warned to stop. What began as a simple business transaction with Baker Transport has now escalated in a documented case of non-payment, total lack of communication, and unethical behavior.

Despite multiple freight services successfully rendered by Baker Transport, Augustus Brokerage didn't pay the owed invoice. Even more egregiously, the business blocked Baker Transport's number, eliminating all forms of contact as to 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 declare 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 depend on shippers' trust. Augustus Brokerage has failed both. Their business phone number 800-403-5840 is currently linked to repeated complaints of ghosting, invoice dodging, and bad faith negotiations.
