I did some research on my own for this company recently. When I looked it up on the Better Business Bureau website, it had an A-plus rating. And I started wondering.

There are other options out there like Angie’s List and Yelp, to name a few of the better known. Just those three rating services alone give millions of people information about millions of companies every year. Consumers and companies find them very useful on one extreme or worse than useless on the other. But few know how they actually work.

So here are some tips on how the raters rate to help you decide how much credence to give the information they provide, starting with the Better Business Bureau, the oldest and arguably best known.

First of all, it’s important to lay out what the Better Business Bureau is and isn’t. It isn’t a government agency and has no enforcement power. And despite often being labeled such, it is not a consumer watchdog organization.

And don’t drive yourself crazy. Remember that one or two people can really skew the process. Consumers Report looked at one plumbing company in the San Francisco area for its review. Angie’s List gave it a grade of F based on a review by one irate customer. It was an accredited company with the Better Business Bureau, which awarded it an A-plus, with two complaints deemed resolved. And based on 20 reviews, it received a 2.5 out of maximum of 5 on Yelp.

This place changes their name roughly every 2 years due to complaints and lawsuits. They had 2 guys that would sit at a computer all day and go to all the complaint sites, including this one to file fake glowing reports about this business.

They go thru employees faster than a teenage girl goes thru boyfriends and clothes. They already have the Repo paperwork ready the same day you sign the contract, because they know they have you stuck there and railroad you into a payment you can't possibly keep up with. They "read the contract to you" as fast as they can so you don't have enough time to actually understand what you're signing. And you are lucky if you manage to pick up a load before the auction block heap falls apart. Their "highly experienced mechanics" are all shade tree backyard mechanics that believe zip ties will fix anything! Unless yall spread the word by email, text, CB, etc. More and more truckers will fall to the same fate.
