I’ve know two or three people who have used U-Ship, and they were all happy. One of them uses U-Ship to bring expensive puppies across the country to her. One had a 1960’s or 70’s car shipped from AZ to WI and was very happy with the experience.

I know a couple of people who have recently put out a request on Facebook and asked people to “share”. In one case the guy had three contacts in the first couple of hours.

We used U-Ship about 3 years ago and would absolutely use it again. No issues whatsoever.

Joe,

I have used Uship before to move several trucks and trailers across the country. We havent done a whole lot in the last two years but from my experience, you can spot the guys you dont want hauling your trailer pretty easy.

The biggest tell tale is when the people ask you to advance them money when they pick the shipment up! Another time I had guys mom drop him off so he could see the trailer then go rent a truck that would pull it (clearly no insurance set up to do that). That was a huge red flag to me!

The one time where I got burned when I had a guy run over something in the road ruining the front end of his truck causing it to be towed. He left my trailer on the side of the road and it was impounded before I knew what happend. We had to drive from Fort Worth up to Cortez, CO to get it out of hock. The transporter was nowhere to be found.

With that, the Uship today does have pretty good rating system and if you select your transporter based on a track record of good feedback and not just pick the cheapest rate, you should be pretty safe. Any problems I had was when Uship was fairly new and anybody could sign up to move stuff.

Hope that helps.

I wouldn’t let Uship move my red wagon but that is just me. I have been in the business to long.

In the trucking world there is a whole network of companies that have and are looking for one way trailers.

Before I paid someone to move your trailer I would call the operation managers at some of the big lease guys in Nashville. Staley, Hemphill and there are many others. Check the internet. I would ask them if they need a one way band trailer to Vegas. You might get lucky, if they need it they will go get it.

If you end up doing a Uship move for insurance tell them you want an Acord showing yourself as additional insured and to send you a copy of it. You can verify it.

Heck I would put pressure on the tour guy you bought it from. He would know someone.

Later
