Looking for loads? Look before you leap.

If you are trolling Uship.com looking for loads, make sure you understand the bidding process. This site has some scary stories about Uship. For those of you who are noobies, U ship is a web-based platform that allow consumers and moving and auto transport service providers to conduct business via a bidding process. It's pretty interesting service, but those bids are binding, so be careful.

I would take the negative stories on there with a grain of salt. There's a couple of people, one of which who has been diagnosed with OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) who constantly post negative stories about uship.

Check out the review here from people who actually used it:

UShip is not a place for professional carriers to do business, All we have seen on there is "BillyBob and his trailer", without any authority or even a DOT number, and even worse Brokers are all over UShip bidding on the cars and then you see them on CD at a third of what they bid on UShip. You can't go to McDonald's and TELL them what you will pay for there product, why should we!

Nick, who's shown as making the first post works for UShip. Negative stories aren't permitted to be posted. Leaving a story becomes an option for the Shipper only after leaving POSITIVE feedback. Shippers (those having items shipped) are NEVER afforded that option! Negative Forum postings will also be immediately deleted.

OOPS! I made a slight error in previous post. The sentence that reads: Shippers (those having items shipped) are NEVER afforded that option!

SHOULD READ:

Shippers (those having items shipped) are NEVER afforded that option IF THEY LEAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK!

The other poster NICK is a PAID EMPLOYEE OF USHIP and has to turn to name calling because the facts hurt. I say NICK if you can prove ONE POST UNTRUE do it otherwise dont come here crying because your companys real storys are posted.
