Quick answer
Ultimate Transport 123 has the stronger current audit profile
Ultimate Transport 123 leads this comparison by 16 points in Verify Car Carrier’s current audit data. That is a meaningful evidence edge, not a guarantee of an individual shipment outcome—confirm the final quote, carrier assignment, pickup window, and cancellation terms before booking.
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
Nexus Auto Transport
63/100 · Show with Caution · Audited September 19, 2026
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.
Authority and company record
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.
Reviews and customer experience
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. 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.
Pricing and service fit
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. 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.
Transparency and brand 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.

- Google 4.3 from 7,739 reviews and Trustpilot 4.2 from 2,272 reviews.

What to verify

- BBB reports 155 total complaints in three years; complaint counts are not a failure rate.
