    Drivers... I need your input Please....

    I picked up a load yesterday from Uber, I get to the receiver and I get kicked off the yard because Uber owes them money for missing too many appointments. I was stuck at the receiver while Uber tried to sort things out. I ended up spending 15 hours there for a lousy $200 layover.

    I still have the load in my truck and been calling Uber and getting nowhere with them while they are still trying to figure this out. I need this load off my truck. I have a pickup tomorrow. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO.

    Thank you, drivers, and stay safe out there.

    Get loads from a wannabe taxi company and this is what you get.

    I’d bring it back to the shipper and move on.

    I can't get hold of the shipper. I have made an arrangement with a cross-dock place and put in a call to OOIDA to figure what the right thing to do here is. But this load needs to come off my truck and Uber is clueless. I also gave Uber 2 hours to figure it out.

    Cancel your next load . I showed up to Budweiser the other day early and on time. they had 30 trucks in front of me and took 11/2 hrs to check in and spent 6 hrs at shipper, when I put in for detention they told me I couldn't because I was late for appointment. Uber didn't care , when I tried to explain that even there app said I was there they said no that's not what its telling us . It even says in the detention policy to keep app on so we can leverage the info for detention lol .

    I got my detention that is not the issue. The issue is to get this load off my truck. Uber does not know what to do with the load.

    I had 2 pallets rejected on a convoy load, Walgreens did want it, called them let them know, didn't hear anything the next morning so I headed back home, shipper only an hour from the house. Ended up getting 10 or 12 days layover. 900$ load tallied up to 3500$ after all the layover, if I wasn't at home during that time i would've found a cross deck or some where to store it.
