Universal am Can methods of finding/booking loads are a joke. etc etc

Don't come here. There's at least 7 ways not to get a load without a customer or broker saying your safety score if bad.

It's always an issue with someones contract (but they want others to do their contracts on their loads). They want people to be in business for 2 years to even book a load or pay up front without even reviewing much. Agents don't put the loads on the company board for owner ops to see. (They're on public load boards chopping 100's even over $1000 off the load) better hope you have access to one so you can make them pay you what a UACL driver would get. I had load board 360 and they called to block me from using it and I was paying for it so now it's back to their silly load board. Agents post the same loads like 5 times. We have agents that work for UACL and 5 other companies so a load gets double and triple brokered. They have loads that don't exist on the load board. The fuel surcharge on broker loads stay the same even if fuel is $5 pg. They use this 1.15% formula and they call it 15% on the FSC. Example If you haul a load for 1000 then you do the FSC like this 1000x.15 not 1000/1.15. You lose almost $20. They have agents playing broker. They work here with about 2 customers then use don't even put their customer freight on the board. They go to the broker boards to find loads and do their double and triple brokering thing and put them into the uacl system pretending to be an 3rd party company to broker when they're not. Which gets us banned from using certain brokers. I just put one of them on YouTube yesterday. I can go all day with screen captures and recordings working for this place. I'm getting out of he ASAP

Still sitting losing out on freight mostly due to contract issues. Pathetic

 

I look at their load board and I do 150 mile search and it's nothing but a bunch of loads from internet truck stop. I have watched them and I got names. A lot of them take company loads and post them on TIC or DAT for cheap. We as leased drivers here don't get to see it on uacl's board so hopefully if you got a friendly agent to give you their password for their public load board you may find a load. Though the loads you see on DAT or ITC be on the in house board which is a joke. Because there be 3 agents with the same load with different rates but they'll offer it to us while they take the company loads and broker them to other carriers. Example Friday Matt called me with a load paying 4100. I looked on the company board withing 150 miles. Only 1 loads 117 away loading today. What he do??? Told me to hold on my customer is calling with more details. That clown never responded. I look on the public boards he has it up for 3100. What a joke. So you already know what happened. He wouldn't even answer the phone. They always have contract issues with other brokers. There will be 20 loads on the board and 15 of them we can't load with. That's bad. I do youtube videos on it

 

Of course I see this because I got a lot of time one my hands not being able to get a load for

contract issues
someone hasn't been in business 2 yrs
agents playing broker
agent's trying to be ltl guys and don't get all the details. Like you can't load 55 feet on a 48 ft trailer
the list is huge and yes sometimes safety but they will try to say it's all about safety why we can't get loaded all the time

 

Don't you like it when someone act like they know who you are? You make 3k per week in a reefer. I was doing that from 07-09 before switching to flatbed. As for attitudes. I don't have one. I'm stating facts and attitude based on what anyway? I've found a way to make more than 3k after fuel every week and I got proof. Actually uacl agents don't understand how I get 3.50-4.10 per mile *some 2.25* but not many.I get them from outside companies and I use the same guys all the time since January and once in a while I use 2 agents. They think everyone needs their hand held for loads. Some don't care how far it is as long as the get their cut. I work as a team. There are just bad agents there that work for 5 different companies. Don't call me with a load then take all day to get me the info because you gave it to bla bla bla for $1000 cheaper or brokered it out to one of the kther companies you work for. By then it's 1.50- $2.00 See there are guys that think $2 per mile gets it done. Then you get hit with fees like their 25% fuel toll etc.You look silly at the end. I try to clear at least $1 per mile out here and no it doesn't happen every load but I can clear 1-2 a lot since finding my guys and area. They called me and they stuck with me since. Yep once in a while I may clear .70 per mile but I avoid it. Hopefully you got a clearer picture of how I work and not assuming I got some attitude based off a post
