Why Carrier Vetting Matters: A Warning About Valy Express Inc.

Written by Bigfella Auto Express | Jun 24, 2025 5:58:53 PM

At Bigfella Auto Express, we take customer safety and carrier reliability seriously. Every vehicle we ship is entrusted to FMCSA-verified, insured carriers who agree to clear communication and provide proper documentation. Unfortunately, not all carriers uphold those standards.

Our Experience With Valy Express Inc

While attempting to assign a routine transport to Valy Express Inc (USDOT 3919876 / MC 1449565), we ran into multiple red flags:

  • Refused to send Certificate of Insurance (COI) after repeated requests

  • Dodged communication via email and phone

  • Unprofessional behavior, including harassing follow-up messages to our agents

  • Left false and retaliatory reviews after we decided not to move forward

This type of behavior is exactly why carrier vetting is essential in the auto transport industry.

What Is Carrier Vetting?

Carrier vetting is the process of confirming that a transport company:

  • Has active DOT/MC authority

  • Maintains current cargo and liability insurance

  • Provides timely and professional communication

  • Has a history of reliable service, with no repeated customer complaints or negative reviews

If a carrier can’t produce basic insurance documents or behaves aggressively when asked for them, that’s a huge red flag. These are often signs of:

  • Poor operations

  • High claim risk

  • Potential double brokering

  • Unwillingness to be held accountable

Why This Matters to You

You wouldn’t hand over your car keys to a stranger with no ID—so why risk your vehicle with a carrier that won’t show proof of coverage?

At Bigfella Auto Express, we don’t take shortcuts:

  • Every carrier is independently verified

  • We maintain active COIs on file

  • You get peace of mind knowing we shield you from bad actors

Final Word

Valy Express Inc may still be active on load boards, but based on our internal records and conduct, they’re not a company we recommend or trust. If you're working with a broker who doesn't vet carriers, you're taking a risk—and it could cost you.

Protect your vehicle. Choose a broker who stands by their process.
