Ok, I’ve Googled it sufficiently to confirm what I thought....
Uber Freight is a load broker, getting access to potential loads from customers, and recruiting drivers to participate and haul those loads. In order to get more loads from customers, they need to have more drivers who take their loads, and vice versa. Currently, Uber is drastically undercutting the traditional brokers by passing a lot more of the revenue from the load to the driver.
The 15% figure you mention might be the ratio of Uber Freight’s cut versus the average for traditional brokers. This doesn’t mean that the total freight to the customer is 15%, as traditional broker’s portion of the revenue for the load is usually about 10%-20%. Alternately, if Uber is foregoing keeping as much as traditonal brokers, they may be passing that savings on to customers for now, which translates into customers paying about 15% less with Uber versus traditional brokers.
yeah i just signed up for an account and was quoted like $3500 for a full truck from coast to coast and immediately recognized that things were not what they seemed. thank you.

Are you not friends with Suicide King? You should ask him for his free shipping privledges for a LOT of your smalls.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
