I am a broker on Uship. They do not care about me, they dont care about drivers and certainly dont care about customers.

The amount each customer pays is based on a budget rate. Every company no matter who you call all uses the same load board to find drivers. It really does not matter what company you choose. Once you book it is the brokers job to find a driver.

Because there is so many brokers on the site, it is impossible to compete and why? Because every broker has fees. If they dont accept your order and try to do the right thing because its the wrong price they get charged $75.00. Everytime they receive a cancellation which 98% of the time is due to the customers impatience they get charged for it.

How? In booking fees. You see everytime you book on Uship the price includes the broker fee, the driver fee and the Uship fee. The more cancellations the broker has the higher the fees are to the customer.

Tell me if this makes sense. These are called excessive cancellations. Every cancellation you get u must book 10 orders perfect in order to get rid of the one. I have seen customers pay over 300 in fees just to Uship.

I am left with barely anything to five the driver or myself. Its ridiculous. I normally get a broker fee of $150 and sometimes I get nothing just to not get an excessive cancellation. The customers are super rude.

They want everything at a fast price at a budget rate. When did you ever get something fast and cheap. Those two dont go together. The drivers sort the load board by price.

Everything is an estimate in this industry but they are trying to make it look like u have solid spot on a truck. No you dont. It takes up to ten days for a driver and thats if its at the right price, its the right weight and there is other cars to pick up in the area. The automated quote doesnt know if there is enough cars to pick up at the drop or not.

This site is screwing over the entire industry. It will be the death of all truckers in this country. Stay AWAY!! I wish I could just leave Uship but i count so much on them I cant leave now.

I have just learned that they are taking over and my days of making good money in auto transport are over. Im tired of the rude reps there, I am tired of the crabby customers and I hate this company.

Oh boo hoo. Brokers are more *** than anything.

You fail and charge excessive fees and ruin customers. Plus you all act like not my problem when the drivers is no show or screws a car up.

Brokers do really stink. Had one call me 30 times a day, even at 2 A.M., WTF!

I must chime in and say that I have been a service provider on Uship since their beginning. I used to make a fair amount on my transports.

I would usually expect out of an average of 10 bids, I would land at least 2 jobs. As an Independent Carrier, I gave personal service, showed great pride in being on time and courteous etc. And to this day have 100% impeccable feedback.

Then come the Brokers. It was the brokers that started slashing prices, bidding on just about everything in mass, taking hauls at half the price I could do them for.

And of course by being a broker, you don't know who at the time is going to take your load, so you may end up cancelling or *** of a shipper with delays etc. You Brokers came in and took it by the horns, and working as you do with small margins and high volume, you have accustomed the average shipper to expect just that! And you've pretty much chopped the legs off of us Mom and Pop guys.

I don't feel a bit sorry for you. Once you take your show elsewhere and leave uship alone, I will still be here and go back to doing business as usual, for the rates that should have been charged all along, with the service that goes along with it.

I just backed out from them because they have become ridicoulous. I had extreme feedback positive, my customers are always pleased and some pay a premium for my services.

Uship is a one sided relationship and if you mention how screwed up their plan is they will find a way to remove you. I actually have an email saved that states they do not want their shippers to know of the additional fees they incur because they will become disgruntled and not use the site.

You have to make it without them they are not beneficial to your business anymore. An association with these type operations will bankrupt you.

I read your information helped my family understand more about this site. We're NOT going to feed the BEAST!

I would like to know what would be the safest and, inexpensive way to ship a suburban from Texas to Arizona within the next month in a half. Would love to hear back from you when you get a moment.

Thanks.

I really think it is true the brokers out bid each other by 1 to 10 dollars. they are all using the same carriers.

please all brokers just stop using uship this way you will not be feeding this beast. let the small single car transporters can have it.

they will give same day pick up and guaranteed transport times with personal service. that sounds like a great plan....
