Hauled a reefer load for uber and the reciever put back a 80cases (full pallet) because of overages, this happened last Friday and I’ve contacted uber and they told me they’re waiting answer from the customer, it’s now past noon on Monday and I’m still waiting for them to call me or email me on what to do, this entire time my reefer is till on. I canceled 2 loads and looks like I’ll be sitting today too, any suggestions?
What do I do with overages put back on the trailer?

Was the count on the BOL accurate of what they took off the truck?
If they signed for it, then it could be just ... yours.

Offer to take it to an LTL carrier and send it back to the shipper.
No doubt they have an account so they can call ahead of time to take care of paperwork.
I sent 3 pallets back once from Chicagoland to Dallas.
If they want it back they'll pay to have it shipped back. If not, they can donate it to a church or the Salvation Army. -
They have in the past paid me much more than what was stated in my original contract with them.
Shipper could possibly be trying to find a buyer in your area. You aren’t going to hit the lottery but you will get decent compensation.
I had it happen once with a giant pallet of snickers ice cream bars. Took a couple days and they finally told me I needed to donate it to a food bank or bring it to a landfill..receipt required.
