Uship posting on ITS?

yah, for a few months anyway. I've never had any luck with uship, but they are partnering with some larger shippers such as Ritchie Bros auctions. I don't know what to make of it, but something to be aware of.

 

It's been going on a for a while now. A girl at Uship told me about the partnership agreement they had with ITS. Like Danny said something to be aware of. I did end up picking up a direct customer off Uship once and few LTL add ons however I havent been on in a while. It takes too much time and as a plus you get to watch the rates drop so low to the point that I am not sure someone with a free truck and stolen fuel could haul it and make a profit.

The direct customer is a good guy however he only has one load a month or so and now that we have a relationship he doesn't fool with Uship much either. Had a piece of art work ride in the cab once for $175 or so, it was going to the same city as the receiver for the load anyways, so why not.

 

been going on for couple of years at least.

don't know how it's posted these days but you used to be able to tell it was uship by the way it was posted..

 

Uship is OK for LTL stuff to fill up your trailer. You need to get paid up front. Your dealing with people who live in a house, not a company. You get there and the guy on the other end says I'm not buying that piece of crap and your stuck in the middle. Or they expect you to deliver it to their house with no way to get it off your truck and so on and so on. Most of the time it's an Ebay purchase. Construction equipment is your best bet. They know to hire a real carrier and not some dip stick with a pickup.

 

If people wouldn't bid on the Uship crap, maybe they'll keep it off the other load boards. I've seen a few on Central Dispatch, I pass on them.

 

I bid on a vehicle that would have been a perfect fit on my recent west coast LTL load.(dry van). MT-WA. bid was 50cent a mile. stupid cheap. took 5 days for the guy to respond.

bahahahhahahahhahhah


I'm sticking with ITS for partials.

 

Uship. 22 foot boat needs to be shipped from Tampa, FL to Seattle, WA.

Uship is crap!

 

op forgive me for asking this but on its board there is alot of diff brokers from everywhere placing adds, when you see one that has no diamonds out by there name do you still contact them or just pass? more diamonds by the name is better looks like.
