Ehh...I've been using only them since March and haven't had any issue with them until this week. I have an old non-food grade roll up door trailer and their load details make it easy to know if I can take a load or not as they will specify things like food grade only or no roll up doors.
This week was my first real problem. Got a $3050 load from Denver to Georgia and found out their load info was wrong. Place only loaded food grade trailers so rejected me. Then the confusion started. People I was talking to couldn't seem to understand and it wasn't until Wednesday that they finally took me off the load....after somebody called asking if I delivered it yet. Of course, that delay also meant I had to cancel a $3000 load back west to Salt Lake City.
Didn't sit around though, grabbed a load of DAT. Will probably just stick with the loadboard from now on. Just have to hope brokers are correct if they say a shipper will load roll up door trailers.
Uber freight is terrible!!! Beware

I tire of Ubers bs.
Was listed at $1540, and they rejected my bid for $1900.
Now it's up to $1620 and they rejected my $1800 bid.
It picks up in an hour and a half and I am 15 miles away. At this point, I'm going to wait and see how high it gets to in the next hour. They are probably getting paid 4-5k for the load but want to keep most of the money for themselves when we drivers do the work. (This isn't an assumption, I ran a load for $1200 from Oklahoma to a small place in Texas with no dock and was helping the owner unload the trailer, we were chatting and he asked how much I got paid for running the load, said he paid uber $3500.)

But I'll wait a day and drive to Georgia before I book that unless it climbs a lot higher. Or grab a load from DAT. But not much better coming out of florida there.
Side note, wouldn't be suprised if they push the price to over 2000 if nobody books it. -

Let it sit there. Don't do them any favors.

Wonder what happens when they fail to ship a load. Guessing the customer doesn't like it. -

Yeah, that's why I don't use uber that much, if you watch a load on there days ahead, its rate seems to spike about 48hrs before the load needs to be picked up, after that the price plummets sometimes 50%.
I have no problem with convoy, I probably get the majority of my loads from them, mostly power only which people say don't do.TheLoadOut Thanks this.
