The short answer
Trustline Carriers has the stronger current audit profile
Trustline Carriers leads this comparison by 31 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.
Start with the right kind of score
An audit score summarizes evidence. Customer ratings describe reviews. They use different scales and are not interchangeable.

Public customer ratings below are out of 5; BBB ratings use the source’s own scale. “Not established” means the available record does not establish that fact. Read the methodology.

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.

What the audited evidence says
Trustline Carriers
Audit score: 36/100 · Limited Confidence · Audited April 6, 2026
The October 10, 2026 snapshot identifies an active shipper/broker authorized as Broker of Property (Except Household Goods). This is broker authority, not proof of ownership of transport trucks. Positive accounts describe helpful staff and completed shipments. Transport Reviews displays four stars and 10 reviews; Trustpilot shows a more mixed 3.8/5 from 131 reviews. Critical accounts raise price changes, scheduling difficulties and communication problems when confirming pickup. BBB reports 10 complaints over three years, six in the last 12 months. Without total shipment volume, these counts cannot establish a complaint rate. Source evidence reviewed October 12, 2026; the existing 36/100 score is historical and was not recalculated from this upload.

Authority and company record
USDOT 4276170 · MC-1661496. The October 10, 2026 snapshot identifies an active shipper/broker authorized as Broker of Property (Except Household Goods). This is broker authority, not proof of ownership of transport trucks. TRUSTLINE CARRIERS LLC is listed in Orlando, Florida. SAFER lists Lanikai Beach Drive, while the supplied BBB material displays a Theiler Street address. Confirm the current contract and correspondence addresses; this difference alone does not establish misconduct. A broker’s zero-inspection record is not evidence of a carrier’s safety performance.
