Uber trucking ??

They don't understand the fundamentals of trucking and will piss away many millions in futile efforts like many have before them.

 

Oh don't worry I'm sure the american tax payer will bail them out if thy get in to deep.

 

What are the fundamentals of trucking, please?

 

They will just create another load board, where you won't have to call and negotiate, but gonna be able just to click and book it, only finding out about extra tarping and extra weight after arriving to the shipper

 

Will the Uber truckers be getting assaulted by inebriated shippers and receivers?

 

They kind of already have "Uber for stuff"...company called Roadie that matches up people looking to ship stuff longer distances with people with vans and pickups. Bigger stuff that an LTL or package company would charge and arm and leg to ship. My roommate took a trip down to FL and booked some stuff.

I don't think Uber has anything much to add to the truckload business that the big brokers don't already do.

 

It's a people business it's not just about the freight. It doesn't always run smoothly. When there are issues people have to discuss and work things out. On the fly adjustments have to be made. What are you going to do in a typical every day trucking SNAFU scenario with your Uber app? Are you going to press prompt 1 for detention pay? Right....

 

Do you really think the public will accept this nonsense? What a bunch of crap.

If States can ban and make illegal hoverboards for catching fire and injuring people, than how could it not be possible to ban robot trucks from States.

Total BS. All of it.
