How rankings are ordered
The main ranking lists eligible companies by Haulwide Score. Category rankings use the same Scores but only include companies that offer the relevant service, such as enclosed or expedited transport; the most affordable ranking orders companies by estimated starting price among those with strong Scores.
State and route rankings consider companies with meaningful activity in that state or on that route.
Updates and archives
Published rankings are refreshed every quarter, and past quarters and years stay available as archives so changes are transparent.
Sponsored placements
Frequently asked questions
Can companies pay to change their Score or ranking?
No. Scores and rankings are calculated the same way for every company. Advertising never changes them, and any sponsored placement is clearly labeled.

Why isn't a company I know in the rankings?
It may not meet eligibility yet, often because there aren't enough verified reviews or its records couldn't be confirmed.
