U-Ship. Anyone ever do this?

I've also seen the ones that actually make money from u-ship. You'll see them in the truck stop every once in a while. Usually pull a toy hauler or horse trailer. If a toy hauler, they have stickers on the door, not for hire which gets them exempt from DOT.
Customers from u-ship could care less about these stickers or checking if they have any cargo insurance.
A few other making money, actual drive cars for customers on uship under the customer insurance if any.

Any professional can not compete with these haulers and drivers.
Yet I do not understand why the government does not get involved that I know of.

 

If it involves them not making those tax dollars they will if they havent started already......

 

I think U Ship is the project of an angry or bored Swift dispatcher. He's laughing his ### off somewhere.

 

I read somewhere the guys on the show or a few of them drop their Insurance etc .. After filming then continue to pull freight during non film time .. I just heard this not the gospel ..

I know I read some of their net worth and its pretty wild that people running HOT SHOT with 1 truck can have a bet worth what some of them do .. Seems strange to me the whole U Ship thing does

 

Think about the reduced cost of no insurance or authority. No scales, nothing. It is like a pay increase.

If you look around on the road, you will see more and more of them doing the same thing with no signs, insurance and so forth. DOT for some reason cannot see them. Scales cannot get them because they do not pull in.

 

They are not exempt just because they put a not for hire sign on their truck, they are hauling freight in a commercial situation which is the problem with uship, it is a broker of the freight with broker style rules and should be treated as a broker from the carrier requirements all the way through the bond and cargo insurance.

 

I remember on one show the little girl got popped for blowing a coop somewhere. She said she didn't see it. Maybe I was dreaming, I don't even know if those tiny trailers have to scale or not. Don't know if a horse trailer can be overloaded. I would not think so. She hauls pigs, & birds and such. Not much of a challenge chasing down a kid in a pickup. At a boy Super Trooper. Keep our HI ways safe.

 

I agree it does not legally make them exempt. But they sure think so.
Just like how legal is it to haul without cargo insurance?

 

Some scales they make them stop CA you don't have to and TN will walk out and say don't pull in the scale again!
