FAQ

What is this list?
This list ranks the top-rated carriers headquartered in Michigan based on authentic reviews from brokers and shippers.

How are the winners selected?
Every day, brokers and shippers come to CarrierSource to read and write authentic reviews on the carriers they work with. The carriers ranked are headquartered in Michigan, have at least 5 reviews, have at least one review from 2024, 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 carrier. Our team reads every single review before it gets posted to ensure we can do both of those things before publishing the review.
