Finding someone to haul your loads or move your trailers, like uShip haulers can be daunting, to say the least.
The many people on uShip app are relentless when it comes to getting a load. These folks will keep bidding until there is no money left for the hauler. Seriously, true professionals want to make money…right? True professionals will have their profile picture and bio completely filled out to show others they are real, or at least they should be, to earn trust from someone wanting trust them with their merchandise.
uShip – Winning Bids and Making Money
There is more to uShip than just winning a bid. How about integrity? How about making decent money, instead of just penny’s? How about being so desperate that you literally drive the drive the bid down so low that you or no one else can make decent money?
There are so many cost when hauling trailers and other loads down the road. There’s a thing call fuel, insurance, up keep on your tow vehicle, licensing, and let’s not forget, your time.
Be careful when doing your business on uShip app or website. Good service, but so many people looking for loads that you have no idea who they are, because they are hiding behind the blank slate by not posting their pictures, and not even filling out their profile bio to let you know who they are, or anything about them.
Many people will be tricked by these (many scammers), all because they are to busy looking at how low these low ballers have knocked the bid price down to, they forget to do some research on these hidden faces, or even do a simple Google search on their so called business.
Attention: Do your research! See if the ones you are considering doing business with, actually are real people. I mean come on; if someone is in business, then they should show up on a Google search…right? The answer is yes!!!
Don’t get me wrong here, uShip is a great service, but there are so many people on there that you may not want hauling your precious loads.
Here’s an example below of bidding on uShip…
Someone needing a large, heavy 42′ fifth wheel moved to new location. The trip is 1800 miles and the fifth wheel is 18,000# and tall, so your diesel truck will be lucky to get 8 mpg. Diesel fuel is on average $3.00 per gallon divided by 1800 miles = 225 gallon of fuel @ $3.00 per gallon = $675.00…
Now so many no picture bidders (like hungry vultures after a piece of meat) are driving the price down and down and down, until finally its won by one of these bidders for a measly $600.00. Now they are in the hole $75 from fuel to haul this load, and they still have to eat and sleep at some point. Sure, they can sleep in their truck, take their own cooler with food and water, but still in the hole $75.
What kind of care will they have for your merchandise? More than likely, all they are concerned about is hurrying to deliver your stuff and get paid and off to make some money. Good chance they won’t give a rip about your stuff or how they treat it.
uShip can be good, but as mentioned earlier, be careful and do your research before hiring someone on uShip, especially those that have no profile information and no picture of themselves.
My company MPE LLC has been on uShip in search of some loads to haul, because we do over the road hauls of trailers and other pallet loads. Also testing the waters to just see how honest some of these people really are, and honestly, it’s kinda scary!
