Hello, I am new to UShip and I have NOT been able to win any bids yet. I am beginning to get very discouraged, and in todays economy ... if I do not get some shipments soon, I will be in some real trouble. I am a pet transportation company that is registered with the USDA. I have a great set up with 28 vari kennels installed into my truck, my husband does all of our driving, I have an RV AC/Heating unit and an auxillary generator installed all my truck ... the works. I just cannot win any bids because of my lack of feedback most likely. What can I do to have a better chance of winning a few bids here and get some good feedback. PS. I have been operating for 5 months now, but I have only been on UShip for about a month. I also have volunteered as a transport coordinator for numerous dog rescues as a transport coordinator and have an outstanding reputation for the past 8 years. So I really think it is a lack of feedback that is my problem. Anyway, I would appreciate any help that anyone is able to provide ! Thank you Kori (Anywherepetsgo)

Princeton is right the FEEDBACK its everything its the "PRICE" that people care about 9 times out of 10, also I looked at your profile and it doesnt tell to much about your business. Look at a few others and even mine and you will see what I mean. You have to sell yourself and show that you are the better carrier for the JOB, maybe a few pictures of your equipment will help show shippers how their animals will be transported will help also. Good Luck but again ITS THE PRICE more than anything that would get you the job.
