The short answer
Tempus Logix has the stronger current audit profile
Tempus Logix leads this comparison by 23 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.

It lists SHIPPER/BROKER, ACTIVE USDOT registration, authorization as Broker of Property (Except Household Goods), and no out-of-service date. The same snapshot warns that carrier registration information and carrier VMT are outdated and gives an October 7, 2021 MCS-150 filing date. Active authority does not erase that warning or independently verify a current bond or assigned-carrier insurance. The Sherpa snapshot misplaced in this folder belongs to SHERPA AUTO TRANSPORT LLC, USDOT 4085166 / MC-1555035, and is excluded from RoadRunner authority evidence. Zero inspections or crashes in a broker record is not a carrier safety endorsement. The matched SAFER record gives 15 Grumman Road West, Suite 1500, Bethpage, New York 11714 and (888) 777-2123; the Google and Trustpilot captures point to the same RoadRunner location and phone. BBB instead names V2 Logistics Corp. at that headquarters, lists Roadrunner Auto Transport and Road Runner Auto Transport as alternate names, and links a RoadRunner branch at 4411 South 40th Street, Suite D3, Phoenix. This supports a directory/brand association, not proof that V2 and AM Freight are the same legal registrant or that one succeeded the other. V2 lists a March 7, 2012 business start and incorporation, a December 16, 2011 BBB file opening, and no accreditation; the Phoenix branch file opened July 10, 2019. These group/branch dates are not transplanted into AM Freight’s business-start field. V2 also covers Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico and Caribbean Car Transport; their customer accounts must not automatically be attributed to a RoadRunner mainland shipment. The Phoenix BBB source is https://www.bbb.org/us/az/phoenix/profile/auto-transportation/roadrunner-auto-transport-1126-1000062557. A broker’s zero-inspection record is not evidence of a carrier’s safety performance.

Negative-filtered captures and anonymous Reddit anecdotes do not establish prevalence, and similar accounts across sources may overlap. RoadRunner’s October 1, 2026 reply to Nègmawon apologizes, attributes the revised offer to demand and carrier availability, calls the rate increase optional, and says the customer could decline or cancel at no charge. Its August 24 reply to Karen acknowledges inadequate updates and apologizes. In the July 27 BBB price dispute, the July 28 business reply offers a partial goodwill refund; the customer explicitly accepts the resolution that day. The amount of that partial refund is not specified, so it is not represented as a full $410 reimbursement. In the June 26 damage exchange, the company first cites a two-repair-estimate requirement, then says it waived the requirement and approved the claim; BBB still labels the complaint answered, not resolved, and the capture does not prove payment. In a May 21 BBB reply about belongings and unloading, it says the cars exceeded the 100-pound/below-window allowance, waived a $100 dry-run fee and $135 post-dispatch cancellation fee, and processed a full refund. These are case-specific business statements, not a universal cancellation policy or independently verified payments. Trustpilot displays replies to 100% of negative reviews, typically within 24 hours; that is a platform response metric, not a finding that every complaint was settled.

Pricing and service fit
Get the contracting legal entity and USDOT/MC in writing rather than substituting V2’s name or the misplaced Sherpa record. Separate the initial estimate from the accepted carrier price and require written approval before any increase. Distinguish a ready date, an estimated pickup window and any genuinely guaranteed service, including its remedy. Obtain broker fee, carrier balance, charge timing, cancellation rules before and after dispatch, and any dry-run charge. Confirm the personal-property weight and storage limits before loading. Ask whether “tracking” provides live GPS or only shipment-status updates and obtain the actual carrier’s contact details and after-hours escalation route. Document vehicle condition on pickup/delivery inspection reports and photographs, and request written additional-coverage exclusions, reporting deadlines and repair-estimate requirements. Neither a review-site insurance description nor an A+ BBB grade substitutes for current carrier insurance or the signed shipment agreement. The supplied pages do not establish measured performance on every route or transport type. Confirm the actual carrier, pickup window, vehicle condition requirements and any terminal or ocean segment. Individual review prices are historical examples, not current lane quotes.
Transparency and brand signals
The matched SAFER record gives 15 Grumman Road West, Suite 1500, Bethpage, New York 11714 and (888) 777-2123; the Google and Trustpilot captures point to the same RoadRunner location and phone.

This supports a directory/brand association, not proof that V2 and AM Freight are the same legal registrant or that one succeeded the other. V2 lists a March 7, 2012 business start and incorporation, a December 16, 2011 BBB file opening, and no accreditation; the Phoenix branch file opened July 10, 2019.

Tempus Logix
Audit score: 93/100 · Top Recommended · Audited April 6, 2026
The October 14, 2026 SAFER snapshot identifies TEMPUS LOGIX as a BROKER with ACTIVE USDOT registration and authorization as Broker of Property (Except Household Goods). No out-of-service date is listed. This saved record is not a live bond or insurance check; the assigned carrier requires separate verification. Positive Google, BBB, Trustpilot and ConsumerAffairs evidence sits alongside a lower Yelp average. Customer accounts describe responsive coordination, on-time or early delivery and vehicles arriving in good condition. A September 17, 2026 BBB reviewer describes roof damage followed by four months of claim handling and praises Tempus for advocating with the carrier and insurer and facilitating a settlement. This is a customer account, not an independently verified claim outcome or a guarantee that every dispute will be resolved. Critical accounts describe missed pickup windows, repeated rescheduling, communication gaps and disputes about promised dates, extra costs or refunds. A December 22, 2025 BBB reviewer alleges paying approximately $1,850 for guaranteed delivery rather than an $899 standard quote, missing the date, and disputing an $800 broker fee. These are the reviewer’s allegations; the supplied material does not establish the chargeback outcome. BBB reports two complaints in three years and zero in the last 12 months, but displays no complaint narratives; negative customer reviews are a separate category and must not be counted as additional formal complaints. Yelp’s 3.2/5 from 62 reviews warrants reading beyond the higher averages elsewhere. Filtered negative captures do not establish the proportion of dissatisfied customers.

A March 9, 2026 Trustpilot reply to a delayed-pickup complaint says it could not locate the order under the reviewer’s name; the reviewer disputes that response. A ConsumerAffairs account describes confusion over uShip’s payment-release code, followed by a company reply saying the issue was resolved after contact. Company replies explain its position, not independent findings. These are published accounts, not independently verified shipments. Similar stories across platforms may describe the same transaction.
Pricing and service fit
Do not treat a quote, estimated pickup window or review mentioning a discount as a binding guarantee. Before paying, obtain the broker fee, carrier balance, marketplace deposit, payment recipient, cancellation terms and price-change approval rules in writing. If delivery is sold as guaranteed, ask what the guarantee covers and the precise remedy for a missed date. Confirm loading dimensions and pickup-site opening hours before dispatch. On marketplace bookings, establish who holds funds and how any release code works. For damage, keep pickup and delivery inspection reports and photographs, and obtain the carrier insurer and broker escalation contacts. No complete signed customer agreement was supplied to establish a universal refund or guarantee policy. The supplied pages do not establish measured performance on every route or transport type. Confirm the actual carrier, pickup window, vehicle condition requirements and any terminal or ocean segment. Individual review prices are historical examples, not current lane quotes.
Transparency and brand signals
SAFER and BBB show 7239 Lonzo Street, Tujunga, California 91042. BBB lists the alternate name Tempus Logix, Inc., a business start of April 2, 2018, incorporation on August 5, 2019, a file opened April 6, 2020, and accreditation since April 10, 2020. These are distinct events. The matching April 2, 2018 MCS-150 date is a filing date, not independent proof of uninterrupted operations. This update uses 12 user-supplied saved pages reviewed October 16, 2026, not live platform checks. Filtered negative pages overlap the main profiles and must not be added to their totals. Company replies are attributed claims; answered complaints are not necessarily resolved. Saved Google Search capture supplied for this review; not independently checked live. Source evidence reviewed October 16, 2026; the existing 93/100 score is historical and was not recalculated from this upload.
Positive signals
- Positive Google, BBB, Trustpilot and ConsumerAffairs evidence sits alongside a lower Yelp average. Customer accounts describe responsive coordination, on-time or early delivery and vehicles arriving in good condition. A September 17, 2026 BBB reviewer describes roof damage followed by four months of claim handling and praises Tempus for advocating with the carrier and insurer and facilitating a settlement. This is a customer account, not an independently verified claim outcome or a guarantee that every dispute will be resolved.
What to verify
- Critical accounts describe missed pickup windows, repeated rescheduling, communication gaps and disputes about promised dates, extra costs or refunds. A December 22, 2025 BBB reviewer alleges paying approximately $1,850 for guaranteed delivery rather than an $899 standard quote, missing the date, and disputing an $800 broker fee. These are the reviewer’s allegations; the supplied material does not establish the chargeback outcome. BBB reports two complaints in three years and zero in the last 12 months, but displays no complaint narratives; negative customer reviews are a separate category and must not be counted as additional formal complaints. Yelp’s 3.2/5 from 62 reviews warrants reading beyond the higher averages elsewhere. Filtered negative captures do not establish the proportion of dissatisfied customers.
Before you book
Get the terms in writing
Ask each broker for the total price, deposit and cancellation terms, pickup window, carrier information when assigned, cargo coverage, and how price changes are handled. A strong audit profile does not replace reading the agreement for your specific shipment.
