In the competitive world of small trucking businesses, many new carriers—often startups with one or two trucks—seek affordable ways to meet federal registration requirements. A commercial office building at 7577 Central Parke Blvd in Mason, Ohio, managed by CMC Properties (operating as “The Perfect Small Office”), provides flexible suites, mail handling, and professional addresses that appeal to entrepreneurs looking to establish a compliant business presence without the expense of a dedicated terminal or large office.
Public records from FMCSA directories, SAFER snapshots, and carrier listing sites (such as CarrierSource, Rose Rocket, Lanefinder, and others) show that OVER 100 TRUCKING COMPANIES (commonly cited in the range of dozens to well over 100 in aggregated listings and patterns observed across sources) are registered at various suites in this building as their principal place of business (PPOB). Examples of carriers registered at the address include:
· Iba Logistic Inc. (Suite 132)
· Max Cargo LLC (Suite 124)
· Bogg Express LLC (Suite 129)
· Takota Trucking LLC (Suite 121)
· Novza Express, Inc. (Suite 119)
· United Ummah Group LLC (Suite 100)
· G7 Logistics Inc. (Suite 218)
· Noble Freight LLC (Suite 10)
· Ochland Group LLC (Suite 128)
· Universal Logistics Services Inc. (Suite 219)
· And many more small interstate freight carriers, predominantly with minimal fleets.
The building’s shared/virtual office model offers low-cost suites suitable for admin tasks, mail forwarding, and occasional meetings, which helps small operators comply with basic address needs for LLC formation and FMCSA filings.
Eric’s Consulting LLC, a business services firm also located in the building (run by Erkinbay Abdullaev, a notary public and consultant), provides assistance to trucking entrepreneurs. Services focus on business entity setup, license acquisition, and operational support—common needs for new carriers entering the industry. Other notable services provided by Eric’s Consulting:
This trucking setup operates in a recognized gray area under FMCSA regulations (49 CFR §390.5T and related guidance). The agency requires a PPOB to be an actual place of business with active transportation-related operations, accessible records, and a functional tie to the carrier—not merely a mail drop or purely virtual location. While shared commercial buildings with suite numbers can sometimes qualify if real business activity occurs, enforcement has increased in recent years against setups lacking substance (e.g., no on-site operations or oversight). High concentrations of carriers at one address can draw scrutiny during audits, potentially leading to application denials or authority revocations if compliance isn’t demonstrated.
This model is widespread in the trucking sector, particularly for cost-conscious startups, and remains legal when carriers maintain genuine ties to their registered location. Observers note it reflects broader industry trends toward flexible, low-overhead entry for independent operators.
No public records indicate wrongdoing or violations tied to specific entities at this address. As always, carriers should consult FMCSA guidance or professionals to ensure full compliance with evolving rules.
