About HTS Logistics
Property broker in East Northport, Long Island: MC 1178470, USDOT 3535360
Quick answer
Who is HTS Logistics?
HTS Logistics LLC is a property broker licensed by FMCSA (MC 1178470, USDOT 3535360) with its office in East Northport, Long Island. We arrange heavy haul, heavy equipment, container drayage and dealer vehicle moves on carriers that haul under their own authority and insurance. Our broker authority was granted in February 2021; the team has worked in heavy haul since 2011.
Updated October 2026 by the HTS Logistics broker team (FMCSA MC# 1178470).
What does HTS do on a move, and what does the carrier do?
Federal rules define a broker as a company paid to arrange freight moves on an authorized motor carrier's trucks (49 CFR 371.2), and they forbid a broker from presenting its operation as a carrier's (49 CFR 371.7). HTS has no trucks or drivers of its own. On each load the work divides like this:
| Part of the move | HTS (broker) | The carrier |
|---|---|---|
| Federal registration | Broker authority MC 1178470, listed by FMCSA as "Broker of Property (Except Household Goods)" | Its own for-hire operating authority and USDOT number, both required before interstate work (49 CFR 385.301) |
| Financial security | $75,000 BMC-84 surety bond on file with FMCSA (49 CFR 387.307) | Liability insurance on file with FMCSA: $750,000 is the federal floor for general freight (49 CFR 387.9), and HTS requires $1 million |
| Trucks and drivers | None. FMCSA's record for HTS lists 0 power units | Tractor, trailer and driver, run under the carrier's own safety record |
| Permits and escorts | Arranges a permit from each state and road owner on the route and books escorts where a state calls for them | Drives the permitted route inside its travel windows, with the signs, flags and escorts the permit lists |
| Loading and securement | Agrees the loading method at pickup and delivery (ramps, a crane or a forklift) before dispatch | Chains and binds the load; the driver may not move until it is adequately secured (49 CFR 392.9) |
| Paperwork and liability | Keeps a record of each move (shipper, carrier, bill of lading number) for three years (49 CFR 371.3) | Issues the bill of lading and is liable for loss or damage to the load in its care (49 U.S.C. 14706) |
Every carrier we book has active operating authority, $1 million in auto liability, $1 million in general liability and $100,000 in cargo insurance. The cargo minimum is our rule, not FMCSA's: only household goods carriers have to file proof of cargo insurance (49 CFR 387.301(b)). Owner-operators and fleets who want loads from us will find the document list on the carrier setup packet page.
What does HTS Logistics move?
Commercial freight in the 48 contiguous states, booked by businesses. Each card goes to the page that covers the limits, permits and paperwork for that kind of move.
Oversize and overweight loads
Loads past the legal width, height or weight, on RGN, lowboy, step deck, flatbed and multi-axle trailers.

Excavators, dozers, cranes, loaders and farm machines, planned from the manufacturer's shipping dimensions.

What we do not move

How to verify HTS Logistics before you book
- Open FMCSA's SAFER company snapshot for USDOT 3535360. It should match the record below, which FMCSA published with data as of October 15, 2026.
- Read the operating authority line. Ours names "Broker of Property (Except Household Goods)" and the docket MC-1178470.
- Check the bond. The snapshot links to FMCSA's Licensing and Insurance record, which lists the financial security filed for the authority; ours is a $75,000 BMC-84 surety bond.
- Other freight companies also use "HTS" in their names. If an email or call using ours asks you to send documents or a payment somewhere new, call (631) 683-8275, the number on the FMCSA record, before you act on it.
- Ask for the record of your move: each party to a brokered shipment has the right to review the broker's record of it (49 CFR 371.3(c)).
