What can I do as an owner operator to keep from being Jacked over by these Companies like UBER

I guess I'll be the first to say it ...live and learn.

Don't haul for them anymore. Find better freight opportunities.

It does take time.

 

Simple.Dont haul for them. 150 tonu is more than alot of brokers would pay. Put them on the do not use list and go on about ur life.

 

At least they pay tonu. They canceled a load on me recently, luckily they gave me a couple days notice but stuff happens.

 

Well I'm not giving you a hard time at all, but you have to constantly check your emails.

With that being said you'll have to tell us when they gave you the notice through email but sometimes stuff happens.

And just a suggestion, maybe you could try to pick up not so far away from wherever you're at?

Or maybe try to make sure wherever you are picking up that it is a good area that you can find other loads out of there if there's a problem?

If you can find another load close to there it's like getting an extra $150.

I know that's not always possible, but just some ideas.

 

Why not lease on to a company? Let someone else worry about that stuff. You're a driver.

Now if you want to deal with the paperwork, get some more trucks. You can schedule the loads and deal with those headaches and get paid for it.

 

So did the email arrive notifying you about the cancellation prior to your arrival and you just didn't see it until you were backed in? And why did they even back you into a door if the load had already cancelled?

 

When you have that happening frequently from one broker stop using them, that's the only recourse you have really.
