Payments
How does Uber Freight pay?
Uber Freight pays carriers with direct deposit. You can set your preference before booking your first load with Uber Freight.
When is payment made?
We pay carriers within 7 days after successfully submitting an acceptable proof of delivery and load invoice at freight-invoice-eu@uber.com.
How do I view the payment status on a load in-app?
The “See payment” button will appear in the load details page as soon as you begin a load. Tap the button to view payment details for that load, and if there are any documents needed before payment can be sent. Drivers without permission to view rates will only see document statuses.
What happens after my required documents are submitted?
Once your documents are received, our team will review them and either approve or deny each document. If a document is rejected (too blurry, missing information, etc.), you may be asked to provide additional information.
Once all required documents are approved, we will send the payment the following Monday. Depending on the bank used, it may take 1-4 days to appear on your account.
