Uber Freight

Many bad reviews on here, but that has not been my experience. What I like! Paid always in 4 days or less. Free quick pay also. Have been paid for all detention requests over the last year, only a few times was I detained though. Only have had two loads canceled in the last 12 months from Uber, but it was while I was on another load. So no big deal. Actually found a better load both times. Have had a issue with 2 or 3 loads on incorrect PU#s, but was resolved in less than an hour every time. Was called back by the agent handing the load. Have always been professional with me while on the phone. Love being able to research shipper and receivers before I book the load so I can avoid place that seem like a pain to deal with. Never had a issue in 12 months of the app crashing or not working properly, but I do use a iPhone. What I don’t like. If the app is on and running, getting check calls from someone in India that I can not understand is annoying. I’ve always turned my phone off at night but I do notice missed calls in the middle of the night while on my 10 hour break. So not to bothered about it, but seems kinda of stupid to me. Thanks

Arrived 30min early at Shipper for 1pm appt. Got out after 7pm. Thats 4hrs at $75hr=$300. Shipper messed up, loaded me the wrong product, had to unload then reload again. During this time uber kept calling and calling to get an update. I was in contact with them 30min before hitting detention and the rest of my time at shipper. I did everything legit in order to get that detention. Checked in on the app, called support to notify of detention starting, and shipper also clearly stamped, marked and signed my in/out time. At Receiver same thing, 4hrs there. So thats 2hrs detention. Once again I kept constant communication with support team, since this load had to be delivered the night before, but due to me burning 6hrs at Shipper didnt make it. Once delivered I pulled out of receivers property and uploaded my BOL with all times clearly marked, along with detention request. Received an email confirming of my detention request right away. So waited a few days for my direct deposit. Noticed no extra money for detention!! I call support, and whats their response? “We’re sorry. You cant claim detention after 24hrs of delivery”. How am I suppose to know they’re not going to pay me? It takes more than 24hrs to get paid. By the time you notice there’s money missing its too late. All they said was “heres the detention link for next time”. Really? Bunch of thieves, scammers.

This review is my thoughts on the unprofessional behavior and lack of concern from management at Uber freight. When it comes to payments for loads I think Uber has a very good system setup. But when it comes to resolving issues Uber is terrible at rectifying any issues in a timely manner to satisfy all parties involved. Uber freight needs to understand that us(the carriers) keep the bills paid and money in their pockets. Uber Frieght doesn’t have the fear of losing it all so they treat us(the carriers) like trash. You can not speak to any mangers one on one and the brokers have been made to believe they’re the highest of authority, so they talk to you any kind of way and treat you horribly wrong. I don’t understand why we(the carriers) cannot speak directly to the managers; do they think they’re to good to speak to us(the carriers) this has to be the worst company to deal with to resolve issues. Uber tells you that they’re escalating your problems to managers but no one calls back! The app was updated a week ago and they’ve made it harder to use. Why change things? If it’s not broke don’t fix it! Cooperate should have a better relationship with their carriers, show your carriers some respect. Without the carriers there would not be an Uber Freight.

Location is set to always track on your app. Yet you request two to three check calls from me daily. Again app is always running. Ya hear? It’s always running. I’ve stopped answering your calls for support updates because you fail me Everytime I have an issue with shipper or receiver. I report the issue and you say don’t worry sir someone is working on it and after 4hours no one calls. No one. Then next load no ones at the receiver for the 7am appointment. CAlled you guys to ask you to call the receiver because you didn’t give me a contact and your rep says they can’t call the customer either. Huh? What the hell. So long story short your app doesn’t work like you think it does nor does your support while hauling a load. Your check call support from me will be equal to the support I receive from you. I’m at 100% for all my loads I move for you and you should be nothing less than that either. Your platform could be so great but your management doesn’t care about it carriers. Even the people at Uber that respond to the comments made here always say the same thing “reach out to us at bla bla bla. Drivers reach out all the time to your support and it falls on deaf ears. This is how companies die.

We can’t get through a week without an app issue. Whether it’s “error finding loads” or “something went wrong” or “can’t connect to servers.” It’s always multiple devices, and we always keep the app up to date. I have sent emails and logged phone and messenger complaints and always gets told it will be notated or passed to the engineers yet there’s always a glitch. Two days ago the driver had the app continue to force close when trying to submit a detention form which caused extra time on the phone as well as delayed processing of payment. Today’s latest was not being able to decline (or accept) a dispatched load within the 30 minute window, or even click on the load to get a load number. More phone calls. Hours later we started seeing loads marked as “assigned” with other driver names not with our company, are now we are totally unable to search at all!!
