Personally I don't like U-Ship.com not because of the broker fees, but rather the shippers who think going from North Carolina (my home state) to Las Vegas NV for $600 is a fair price. I don't have an 8 car hauler to just add a car going that way. I see comments and questions being asked of the shipper about all inclusive prices and they say there way to high. I don't think these customers know the cost of running a business sometimes.
Alternative to Central Dispatch??

Ryan, they have noooo clue! I almost wanna reply to the cheap ######## with "I'll take your car for that much however you will need to sign a form releasing our company from any liability bc for this price it does not include insurance." It wouldn't even include a driver that I can pay enough to have common sense and care for a vehicle lol!
DrDieselUSA and wyodispatchgirl Thank this. -
Agreed Clara, it's a shame too because most of us smaller companies that don't have a large fleet and high overhead can provide better service to customers but they don't look at it that way. Between low offers, U-Ship booking fees, fuel and tolls, sometimes you will be lucky to walk away with $10.00 in your pocket

That is true. Then we have no money for our own personal bills let alone important things like maintenance. Saw a 3 car hauler the other day that was all rusted through, the guy was using 2x4s on the ramps to keep the cars on. He only had one wheel strapped on each side, i know dot reg is 3 straps per car minimum. This is the kinda guy that screws it up for the rest of us. He's running illegally and making the rest of us responsible runners look bad.

We never use Uship except occasionally through a known broker. We backhaul every now and then with Central, but that's becoming a pain due to cost and brokers that don't pay. There are too many people willing to take a load for .20 per mile. Small operators are always squeezed and carry all the risks.

We have this for our suspension. It won't work miracles, I know, but it just helps a little.
