Before you book us, verify us

Freight fraud is real. Check us the way you would check anyone.

Look up USDOT 2555461 and confirm it reads B.A.R. Transportation LLC of Mount Pleasant, Texas. If anything you were sent does not match what SAFER shows, stop and call JR Elrod directly at 785-313-2287 before you move freight.

Four things we never do

  • We never contact brokers or shippers from Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, or any address outside @bartransport.net.
  • We never ask you to send a rate confirmation or dispatch sheet to an address outside that domain.
  • We never change our remittance, banking, or factoring instructions by email. A message telling you our payment details changed did not come from us.
  • We never re-broker a load we accepted under our own authority without telling you first.

If someone is using our name or our numbers, call JR Elrod direct at 785-313-2287.
