Global Tranz Van Lines: When Complaints Caught Up to Midland Van Lines, a New Company Appeared

Midland Van Lines has accumulated 365 federal complaints from Miami. When the complaints got too high, new companies appeared. Global Trans Van Lines in North Carolina, a second Global Trans in New York, and now a reported connection to Cosmos Transport in Jacksonville. This is the chameleon carrier pattern.

Comment

Midland Van Lines (DOT 3443886, MC 1119255) is a household goods carrier registered at 1021 Ives Dairy Road #212, Miami, FL 33179. It has 12 power units and 26 drivers. Its phone number is (877) 477-5831.

Midland has accumulated 365 NCCDB complaints. Then something happened: its complaint count dropped from 56 in 2025 to just 5 in the first half of 2026. That is not a company that fixed its problems. That is a company that moved its operations.

The Complaint Timeline

Midland Van Lines (DOT 3443886, Miami FL): 2023: 15 complaints 2024: 25 complaints 2025: 56 complaints (124% increase) 2026: 5 complaints (91% drop)

A company that triples its complaint volume in one year and then drops to near zero the next is not improving. It is disappearing. The complaints did not stop. They moved to a different DOT number.

The Second Midland

Midland Van Lines LLC (DOT 4434888, MC 1745521) appeared in 2025, registered at 2230 Lithonia Industrial Blvd, Lithonia, GA 30058. It has 1 power unit and 1 driver. Its phone number is (201) 490-1505, a New Jersey area code.

This second Midland already has 32 NCCDB complaints in its first year of operation (2025: 20, 2026: 12). A company with one truck and one driver generating 32 federal complaints is operating well beyond its registered capacity.

The website midlandvanlines.com points to this Georgia entity.

The Third Midland and the Fourth

A third entity, Midland Vanlines (DOT 1248332, MC 490898), is registered at 200 East Campus View Blvd, Suite 200, Columbus, OH 43235. Its phone is (201) 627-2673, a New Jersey area code. Its listed officer is Juan Moran (President). This entity has 30 NCCDB complaints.

A fourth Midland Van Lines (DOT 3516489) is registered in Alvarado, TX with 29 trucks. This entity appears on Safe Ship Moving Services' published carrier list, connecting the Midland network to the most-complained broker in America.

Four DOT numbers. Four states (Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Texas). New Jersey phone numbers on registrations in Georgia and Ohio. Combined: 163+ federal complaints.

Global Tranz Van Lines: The Rebrand

Trunk's data analysis found two Global Trans entities:

Global Trans Van Lines (DOT 4485687) is registered at 318 Gidney St, Suite B, Shelby, NC. Its owner is listed as Nafisa Giyazova. It has 3 trucks and has already accumulated 20 NCCDB complaints.

Global Trans Vanlines LLC (DOT 4556997) is registered in Kingston, NY with 1 truck. Its phone number is (201) 627-2673.

That phone number is the same one registered to Midland Vanlines in Columbus, OH (DOT 1248332). The shared phone number is the documented link between the Midland and Global Trans operations.

According to industry sources, Global Tranz Van Lines was started after Midland Van Lines became too associated with complaints. This is the pattern Trunk calls a chameleon carrier: when complaints make one company name toxic, the operator opens a new one. The trucks, crews, phone systems, and fraud playbook stay the same. Only the name changes.

The Midland Miami operation (DOT 3443886, officer Daniel Azuelos) is also connected through shared ownership to MC Movers LLC (DOT 2538365), adding another entity to the network. Azuelos is listed as manager of both.

In total, Trunk has identified six DOT numbers connected to this operation across five states (Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Texas, New York/North Carolina), with different listed officers (Azuelos, Baratelli, Moran, Giyazova) but shared phone numbers and a clear complaint migration pattern.

Update (September 2026): A community tip reports that Cosmos Transport LLC (DOT 3554541, Jacksonville FL) is now connected to Global Trans Van Lines, operating under the DBA 'P F Movers LLC.' If confirmed, this adds a seventh DOT number and a sixth state to the network. Midland's NCCDB complaint count has risen to 365, nearly quadrupling from the 101 documented when Trunk first profiled the company. Global Trans NC (DOT 4485687) is at 24 complaints. Members of the Facebook group 'Global Trans Van Victims' have been submitting reports to Trunk documenting the same patterns: lowball estimates, price inflation on moving day, hostage loads, and non-delivery.

What Consumers Should Know

1. If you see a company called Global Tranz Van Lines, Midland Van Lines, or any variation, check the USDOT number at safer.fmcsa.dot.gov.

2. A company with 1 truck and 32 complaints is not a moving company. It is a booking operation.

3. New Jersey phone numbers for companies registered in Georgia and Ohio are a red flag. The phone system is in one place; the registration is in another.

4. Search for the company's previous names. Companies change names to escape complaints. The complaints don't disappear. They follow the operator.

5. File complaints at nccdb.fmcsa.dot.gov. Complaint data is how chameleon carriers eventually get caught.
