Years Operating
11 years
FMCSA SAFER and MOTUS list NEXUS AT LLC in Schaumburg, Illinois under USDOT 2801954 and MC-933173 with active property-broker authority. The company website, phone, and address match that identity. MOTUS displays an active $75,000 BMC-84 bond from Amherst National Insurance Company, effective January 16, 2026, and a status reason of “Discontinued Revocation.” That status reason is not described here as a current revocation. The detail displays no cancellation date, which is not a separate assurance that no cancellation may be pending.

What real customers are saying across platforms
Ratings recorded in the audit
The direct BBB profile lists an A rating, accreditation since 2016, and a business start in 2015. This is an A, not an A+ rating. BBB reports 155 total complaints in the last three years and 94 complaints closed in the last 12 months; closure does not necessarily mean resolution. The independently checked Google knowledge panel shows 4.3 from 7,739 reviews, and the direct Trustpilot page shows 4.2 from 2,272 reviews. The formula credits review volume, recent activity, and cross-platform alignment. A Medium BBB complaint signal is an editorial assessment, not a complaint rate, because shipment totals are unavailable.
Customer Experience
Communication, pickup, delivery and issue resolution
The existing scoring model uses the Google rating as a proxy for communication, pickup, delivery, and repeat-use sentiment. Sampled reviews include successful deliveries; sampled BBB complaints allege price increases and pickup delays, with business responses. These are customer reports, not independently established findings about every shipment. Medium pricing and complaint-risk inputs are conservative editorial judgments.
Nexus Auto Transport Pricing
Cost, value, and price consistency
Price-Change Risk
Medium
The published terms state that price and timing are estimates and are not guaranteed, and that a carrier may request a revised rate. The terms list a $75 dispatch fee if a customer cancels before a carrier is dispatched. They also state that when no carrier accepts the quoted price and the customer declines a revised rate, broker cancellation involves refunding applicable amounts and no charge. Customers should read the current terms and obtain the final rate and cancellation conditions in writing.
Routes & Service Coverage
Geographic reach and transport types offered
Transport Types Audited
Open, enclosed, urgent, luxury, and inoperable transport suitability remain unverified in this desk audit. No Strong route-fit values were awarded merely because a service is advertised. The category receives only the existing formula defaults for unknown lane strength and confidence; limited evidence is not a finding of poor route performance.
Brand Transparency & Online Presence
Website quality, review handling, and trust signals
The Nexus Auto Transport website and contact details match the NEXUS AT LLC identity shown in official records. The working website, BBB accreditation, and observed business responses receive the existing rubric credit. Public contact details were checked for consistency, not tested for responsiveness. The score does not promise service quality or guarantee a shipment outcome.
Final Verdict
Our full audit conclusion
Nexus Auto Transport scores 63/100 — Show with Caution — under our existing calibrated scoring formula. Active broker authority, an active bond, and substantial review history support legitimacy and reputation. Pricing flexibility, cancellation fees, and the sampled complaint evidence warrant caution. This is a public-source desk audit, not shipment testing; obtain the final rate, carrier details, and cancellation conditions in writing.
Recommendation: Use with caution.

How this score was calculated
This is a public-source desk audit using our existing scoring formula, not a shipment test. Customer-experience categories use review signals as proxies. Unknown route suitability is not treated as proven poor performance.
- Completed desk audit based on the cited official and public evidence; it is not verification of every shipment.
- Full 20/20 under the current workbook rubric (5+4+3+3+3+2): official records show active broker authority and an active $75,000 bond; the NEXUS AT LLC identity matches the public website and contact details; BBB reports a 2015 business start (11 years at the September 2026 audit). Contact credit means public working channels were found, not that responsiveness was tested.
- Google is 4.3 from 7,739 reviews and Trustpilot is 4.2 from 2,272, with recent Trustpilot reviews observed in September 2026. Their close ratings support multi-platform alignment. Review consistency is conservatively marked Medium. BBB lists an A rating, accreditation, 155 total complaints over three years, and 94 closed in 12 months; these are raw counts with no transaction denominator, and closed does not necessarily mean resolved.
- The existing formula uses the 4.3 Google rating as its customer-experience proxy and the Medium price/BBB signals for price honesty and problem handling. This desk audit does not claim shipment testing.
- Published terms allow rate revisions and describe a $75 pre-dispatch cancellation fee. Sampled BBB allegations included price increases and pickup delays and were answered by the business. Price consistency and price-change risk are therefore conservative Medium editorial judgments, not verified incidence rates or proven misconduct; pricing position and fair value remain unknown.
- No route or service-type fit was verified. All fit inputs are blank and route confidence is Unknown; only the legacy formula defaults apply.
- The working website and public contact channels match the official identity, BBB lists A/accredited status, and sampled complaints had business answers. This supports rubric credit but not a top-tier or responsiveness claim.
- No arbitrary penalties were applied because the reviewed evidence did not establish a penalty-triggering finding.
- Sections are summed without rounding; penalties are then applied, and only the final result is rounded and clamped to 5–100.
