FAQ

What is this list?
This list ranks the top-rated logistics providers based on authentic reviews from shippers, brokers, and carriers.

How are the winners selected?
Every day, shippers, brokers, and carriers come to CarrierSource to read and write authentic reviews on the logistics providers they work with. The companies ranked have at least 10 reviews, have at least 3 reviews from 2025, and have an overall star rating of 4.75 or higher. 

How are reviews verified?
We take moderation very seriously as we want to ensure that our site is the #1 trusted resource for brokers, shippers, and carriers in the world. Part of that moderation process includes a) confirming that the reviewer is who they say they are and b) confirming the reviewer worked with the company. Our team reads every review before it gets posted to ensure we can do both of those things before publishing the review. If we cannot verify it, then it is not posted to our site.

I still have questions
We’d love to hear them! Please reach out to us at support@carriersource.io and we’ll be happy to help.
