Is RoadRunner Auto Transport legit, or a scam?

It is a real company: FMCSA listed an active registration for AM Freight Operations Inc under USDOT 3124544 when we checked on Sep 15, 2026, with a record dating from 2018. 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.
