Is Goliath Auto Transport legit, or a scam?

It is a real company: FMCSA listed an active registration for Goliath Auto Transport LLC under USDOT 2870101 when we checked on Oct 5, 2026, with a record dating from 2016. A license means a company may legally arrange your shipment; it says nothing about whether they are good at it. Check the reviews, get the total price and cancellation terms in writing, and look the USDOT number up yourself before you pay.
