Maybe you should go back and read what uShip is all about, in your uShip agreement you signed to become a member.

It explains that it's made for the shipper to save money on low bids made in an auction type atmosphere.

It is not designed for the TSP to make money.

If you want to make money here you need to bid, win, and haul more than one shipment at a time like LTL freight.

Like many are doing to make it.

Others use it as a filler shipment for empty spots on there trailer, to help pay there expenses and make a profit.

Trucking is not all Steak, eggs and potatoes, but even the drippings can be good, sopped up with bread.

WELCOME TO USHIP ! ! !

When I signed up, half the crap in the agreement was'nt in there. They rewrite it as they see fit. Hey, since you like the costs on here, i've got a boat that needs to get to Washington state that you can haul for $500. Its only 9700lbs and 10.8 wide, just throw it on with something else, you super trucker you.

Compliant because I have to be

If you make a bid and it is accepted then you are agreeing to work under all of the rules of Uship even if they are new. TSP's have the responsibility of staying up to date on any new rules but you know that because you are totaly compliant and stay on top of things, don't you.

Go ahead and list your boat.

Simple solution is:  Just let this UShip site set on the side and use it to BS on, amusement, amazement and a conversation piece. Many have stopped bidding shortly after they discover the pitfalls. Many join and they too quickly discover that it's not what it appears to be at 1st glance.

As for the changes that are forever ongoing, that too, is a .......... What ever became of KISS?  KISS = keep it simple st_____ Most changes are pretty humorous though. A lot can be detected just by reading between the lines in those changes.

!!Protect yourself and your property!!

Did you acquire and VERIFY the validity of your chosen Carrier's FEDERALLY MANDATED DOT & MC #'s as per the UShip User Agreement?  

http://www.uship.com/user_agreement.aspx

Note: Did you know that NO active "MC #" = No COMMERCIAL insurance? 

OOPS !!!!!!!

 

 INTERSTATE" transport requires an ACTIVE "MC" number! You verify it at the Government's "REAL TIME" web site: http://li-public.fmcsa.dot.gov/LIVIEW/pkg_html.prc_limain

I live in Buckeye, AZ 100 miles from Mexico. I purchase my diesel down there. Just filled up today @ $2.09 gal. I bring back 300 gals of diesel @ a time. Also if you run the route through El Paso, TX get off exit 22 that goes to Mexico. You can fill up there as well. The diesel in Mexico is the same price throughout the country. When my truck will hold 140 gals and it only costs $290 to fill up rather then $600 it is well worth the 200 mile roundtrip.

Diesel Fuel on Rte 17 in NY in Binghamton NY on Saturday is $5.009 per gallon, any takers?

This is a message to all the people that are using this site to ship something

USE A DOT COMPLIANT CARRIER ONLY

Its the Federal Law that anyone that transports ANYTHING for any kind of PAYMENT be a DOT COMPLIANT CARRIER. It doesnt matter if its as small as a BREADBOX or as large as a ARMY TANK the CARRIER NEEDS to be

DOT COMPLIANT

Ask for their INSURANCE COMPANY INFO before your shipment is picked up to protect yourself from loosing your item.

I am now just using this site for ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSED ONLY and will not bid on or take a shipment from this site
