Safety Tips

Mid-Atlantic Truck Authority provides a platform to connect buyers and sellers. We do not inspect vehicles or participate in transactions. Users are responsible for their own safety throughout the buying and selling process.

Tips for Buyers

• Meet sellers in public places whenever possible
• Inspect vehicles during daylight hours
• Never send deposits without seeing the vehicle in person
• Verify VIN numbers and title status
• Be cautious of prices far below market value
• Bring a friend or mechanic when viewing a vehicle

Tips for Sellers

• Meet buyers in safe, public locations
• Do not allow test drives without proper identification
• Avoid sharing personal or financial information
• Trust your instincts and walk away if needed
• Keep communication within the site inbox when possible

Avoid Common Scams

• Requests to move conversations off the site immediately
• Refusal to meet in person
• Pressure to act quickly
• Requests for gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency
• Fake payment confirmations

Payment Safety

Use secure, traceable payment methods. Avoid overpayments with refund requests and confirm funds have cleared before releasing a vehicle or title.

Reporting Suspicious Activity

If something seems suspicious, stop communication immediately and do not send money or personal information.

Final Reminder

Mid-Atlantic Truck Authority is not responsible for transactions conducted between users. Always use caution and good judgment.
