Travis and Budd,

Travis and Budd,

The boat is now safe and sound in Canada!!! Thank you for a REALLY GREAT moving experience! I know my circumstances were a total pain in the butt and slight changes at the witching hour etc etc......... but I am EXTREMELY happy about how you guys handled the move.

Mike was awesome... he is an really great guy... and certainly went far beyond his duty to make my move easy... I can comfortably say that without Mike, this move would have been a very difficult experience for me. He helped me with everything and he was great company as well... just a great guy!

Really just want to say THANX to all of you.

Regards, Alain Cote

Whats wrong with this picture?

First of all, the boat and trailer loaded on top of this truck is unsafe, over height and totally illegal. Secondly, the truck is well over weight as you can see by the trailer almost touching the ground and the rear tires are almost flattened out on the truck.

There is no company name , D.O.T. or Federal Motor Carriers Authority numbers on the truck, which means the person transporting this boat is operating illegally.

 
I have been paying closer and closer attention to the profiles, feedback ratings, and cancellation % of haulers that I compete with on UShip.com.

There is a predicatable, yet disturbing trend among haulers without DOT and MC# (also indicates a lack of proper insurance require for hire). They have; The lowest percentages of completed shipments .The highest rate of neutral or negative feedback

The lowest bids, resulting in the lowest UShip match fees - (many that are later refunded to disgruntled customers)

Do the statistics. Look at the correlation between your professional, insured, experienced haulers and the illegal, uninsured that are allowed in your 'doors' and able to bid and screw up a good thing for both haulers and shippers.

Why wouldn't UShip want to limit their exposure? Would you let a bum off the street into the UShip holiday party to help themselves to your buffet?

There is also the deception factor. Recently, it has come to my attention that several transporters listed on UShip are using (MC) Motor Carriers numbers from ligitimate transporters stolen at truck stops and posting them on UShip with their profiles.
