Who is eligible and how do I sign up?
Any carrier can download the Uber Freight app free of charge. The app can only be used to book loads by drivers who are authorized to book their own loads on behalf of their carrier. As a carrier, you can sign up, submit your information, and once you’re approved you can add your drivers. It’s that simple!
How do I get started with Uber Freight?
You’ll first need to sign up and tell us a bit about your business. To sign up you’ll need to agree to our contract, submit your insurance, and give us your banking information so we can pay you! Right now we’re only working with 53’ dry van, refrigerated, or flatbed.
How does the Uber Freight app work?
The Uber Freight app is free and available in the App Store and Google Play Store. The Uber Freight app lists loads that you can book right from your phone. Once you book one of the loads, the load is confirmed for your carrier, so please only book loads that you and your carrier are willing to take.
