    Saw a load listed on ITS today that had 'bid online' as the broker phone number. Clicked on it, and it brought up a uship bid page with the ITS banner at the top.

    Might be time to start moving away from ITS...

    I had read somewhere a few weeks ago that Uship was going into some sort of a partnership or agreement, etc...with ITS. Maybe a few will have some success but I am not holding my breath.

    Well, with uship it's an obvious guarantee that the carriers are at fault for creating and accepting the low rates.

    Is it much different with brokers? Hell if they get 2 guys a week apart that take identical loads one wants $800 the other only wants $600 isn't that the carrier cutting rates. I'm sure the broker is STILL billing the customer at least $1000-$1600+

    ITS and Transcore have been doing this since I've been in business. In the reefer/van side of things, it's usually freightquote.com, another one that's too cheap to bother with.

    ITS is just exploiting an angle to get more listings. Don't hate them for putting up options that don't appeal to you. They already do that very well.

    Who in the world is going to drive 1000 miles for $ 400.? Even if the freight will sit with another load your going to have to drive out of your way, and spend hours getting loaded and unloaded at places that don't have a forklift.

    P.s.I hate the way ITS works on my smartphone.
