    Looking into becoming an O/O. My biggest concern once I get started is finding freight to transport. I'm looking into brokers and things as well, but I was wondering if anybody here has used the Uber Freight service and what their opinion was on it?

    Maybe one of 50 loads they post is decent enough but if you use them all the time and grab whatever they post you will become poor.

    Thank you, I wasn't sure. My mom drives with Uber (not freight, just the taxi stuff) and loves it, so I wasn't sure how their freight division would be since it's a totally different field from ride sharing.

    This taxi business is more of a supplemental income, isn't it? You can't expect to live off of Uber app only.

    The good thing about Uber is it's free to sign up for. Even if only 1 in 50 are good, it's still worth looking at.
