How to use this comparison
Choose based on your shipment—not a headline score alone
The score is a useful starting point, but price certainty, vehicle type, pickup urgency, and the quality of the assigned carrier matter too. We compare audited signals instead of selling rank positions, then link to the underlying broker reports so you can verify the evidence before you request quotes.

Broker-by-broker analysis
What the audited evidence says
A1 Auto Movers
5/100 · Do Not Recommend · Audited August 29, 2026
This audit gives A1 Auto Movers a score of 5/100 — Do Not Recommend. We do not currently recommend this broker based on the reviewed authority, identity, reputation, customer-experience, pricing, route, and brand evidence. The total combines 9/20 legitimacy, 4/25 reputation, 0/20 customer experience, 1/15 pricing, 2/10 route and service, and 1/10 brand evidence, with -20 in audit penalties applied. Clearest case in this batch: FMCSA authority is 'Not Authorized', and — more seriously — BBB, TransportReviews, and RealTransportReviews independently corroborate a repeated deposit-scam pattern (take a holding deposit, cancel the assigned driver, refuse to refund). A third-party reviewer also explicitly calls out likely fake five-star reviews on this company's Yelp page. This is not a thin-evidence case like A Ok Auto Transport — it's a documented-harm case, scored and penalized accordingly.
