Not True
AUTHOR: Transport reviews support - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, November 20, 2012
CLAIM: That we "allow anyone to post reviews of companies".
VALIDITY: Simply not true.
Transport Reviews is reviews of auto transport companies posted by those claiming to be customers. If a company makes a statement that a review was posted by someone who is "Not A Customer" we require the reviewer to verify they are a customer. Information on this process is available on Transport Reviews as well as in the many emails we send to reviewers in cases the process has been started.
So as you can see your first claim is obviously not true. A report of the reviews that were removed and why is available at: http://www.transportreviews.com/ViewRemove.asp
CLAIM: We "do not verify information"
VALIDITY: Partially true.
On negative reviews we DO at the request of the company verify that the reviewer is a customer. However, we do not verify the claims made in the reviews. The review was written by the customer and the customer is responsible for their own claims and opinions. In many cases visitors can contact reviewers if they have a question about a claim.CLAIM: My competitors have posted negative information about me and created fake accounts to do so.
Also, the company is allowed to respond to reviews. Just FYI, we also do not verify the information in the company's response.
VALIDITY: Not True Because of Ignorance.
If you simply log into your Transport Reviews company account you can click a button to run the non-customer review process. Once you do this the review is IMMEDIATELY removed and the reviewer has to document being a customer.CLAIM: <paraphrase> If I don't know about a bad review it can hurt me before I get a chance to respond.
Step-by-step instructions can be found at: http://www.transportreviews.com/about/non-cust.asp
VALIDITY: Not True because of Ignorance.
Companies can log into their account and enter an email address to be notified whenever a review is posted. Notification emails are sent out before a review is ever made live, while we are still verifying the reviewers contact information.CLAIM: Companies can pay to have a bad review removed.
So please log in and update your company information to receive these alerts.
VALIDITY: Not True.
Companies can not pay us to have reviews removed. This is absurd. If it was the case RipOffReport would be filled with people angry we removed their bad reviews instead of companies upset that bad reviews remain and company posted good reviews are removed.CLAIM: Companies can pay reviewers to post reviews.
VALIDITY: True
We don't like it but yes, companies can pay their customers to post reviews. This is between a company and their customer. We have no part of it and we state on our website that we are against it.
Both Transport Reviews AND Federal LAW require that if you were paid to post a review that you must say so. In cases of paid reviews, contrary to this reporter's statement, Transport Reviews allows visitors to remove reviews marked as paid to post.
I hope that this helps educate any viewers of this report. We do NOT believe that you should come to Transport Reviews and use any single review to form your opinion about a company. However, the ratings, reviews and reports on Transport Reviews can be invaluable when trying to avoid scams and choose a quality auto transport company.
Happy searching.

PS. Just another quick point, we do not show any emails over the last several years from anyone with the name Juanita.
