uShip Blog : For TSPs

Does “Fast, Cheap, or Good” still hold true?

community@uShip.com — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:14:00 GMT

The old adage says “fast, cheap, or good. Pick two”. You want it done quick and cheap? Well the quality will suffer. You need it good and fast? You better be willing to shell out the big bucks.

But does it really apply anymore?

Before the internet, it was hard to get competitive pricing for small shipments. With only a few freight companies in every town, it was hard to shop around for the best prices. If you needed something shipped, you have to wait until their trucks were ready. Need the shipment rushed? It can be done, but it will cost extra.

Then there’s the question of “good”. You can open the yellow pages and pick a carrier, but all an ad takes is money. Even after checking references or the better business bureau, you get a small sample of their service, not a good picture of their average customer.

The internet changes all of that.

Fast

Then: You had to wait for one of the local transport companies to have a truck available.
Now: You have access to thousands of trucks across the country that could potentially transport your shipment.

Cheap

Then: Unless you were big enough to negotiate contracts, you payed the standard rate.
Now: Multiple transporters can bid for your business, offering the best price possible.

Good

Then: You have to rely on their word, your instinct, and if you’re lucky, a few references.
Now: You can browse through literally hundreds and thousands of reviews, and choose the transporter that gives the best service to the average customer.

When a marketplace connects thousands of customers and providers “fast, cheap, or good”, becomes “fast, cheap, and good”.

Top Five uShip Tools Service Providers Need to Know

community@uShip.com — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:12:00 GMT

Transporters are busy people with many places to go, people to see and things to do. In all your busy-ness, we thought it would be helpful to pull together a list of some of uShip’s coolest tools that you may not have discovered on the site – and how these can save you time, make more money and better service your customers. If you have any questions on how to use any of these tools, or have a suggestion for the next great uShip TSP tool, be sure to post it in the comments!

Abandoned listing report
One of transporters’ biggest frustrations is with unresponsive customers, those who don’t respond to questions about timing, dimensions and so forth. You may not realize it but if you think that a shipper has abandoned a listing, you can click the flag at the top of the listing letting uShip know that you think it’s abandoned or inactive. If a listing gets enough “abandoned’ flags, we’ll clear it from the marketplace to ensure only up-to-date and active shipments show up.

For more information on how the abandoned listings flag works, click here.

Saved Searches

We’ve found that many service providers start a new job search every time they log onto uShip. Saved Searches remembers what job types you are looking for, and then e-mails you with updates any time there are listings that meet your criteria. You can create a Saved Search alert for specific categories, price-ranges, along-a-route, or any of our other Find Shipments categories.

Just click the “Save This Search” button at the top right of the find shipments page and make finding jobs on uShip even easier.

Refer-a-load

Did you know you can earn money on uShip from jobs you don’t even touch? Here’s how: A customer is looking for a carrier, but you just don’t have the time or resources to help them. uShip’s Refer-a-Load program lets you refer them to uShip and get 30% of the match fee when their shipment is matched! This is a great way for you to earn some extra money on jobs that you otherwise would miss out on.

Have a load to refer right now? Click here!

Bid Valet

Our Bid valet tool allows you to bid on jobs without needing to be at your computer. When you find a listing you’re interested in, just let bid valet know what your lowest price is, and let it do the negotiating for you! You can set it up to automatically underbid other TSPs, or to reduce the price of your bid by a certain amount every few hours.

Bid valet will do the work for you whether you’re at the computer, on the road, or asleep at home, helping you to offer the most competitive price for the shipment.

Click here to learn more on how to set up the Bid Valet tool.

Group Bidding

Let’s say you’re driving from Austin, TX to New Orleans, LA, and you have two empty spots for cars in your trailer. After going through Find Shipments, you see that there are five cars along that route. By using our Group Bidding tool, you can bid on all five cars and, once two bids are accepted, we’ll automatically cancel the other bids.
The group bidding tool also works with bid valet, so you can increase the chances of booking a shipment.

For more information on how to set up the group bidding tool, click here.

This is just a selection of all of the great tools for uShip Service Providers. For a full list of uShip service provider tools click here. If you think there’s a tool we really should have, and you can’t find it in our list of uShip service provider tools, then please leave a suggestion in the comments!

How a Great uShip TSP Helped Deliver 500 books to the Troops

community@uShip.com — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 21:11:00 GMT

We love hearing our users’ success stories about uShip, but it’s even more rewarding when we hear that our Highway to Help program is helping generous people and service providers to work together for a good cause.

Recently we heard from Paul Malmont, who runs Operation Warrior Library, a group of authors that donate copies of their bestselling books to the troops overseas. The Warrior Library had collected 500 books and was ready to be ship them off to Afghanistan.

How a horseman and uShip helped us deliver 500 books to the Troops:

“That's where my favorite company, uShip, comes in… Now, what makes this company truly cool, is that they have a charity option. When you click that, wonderful people offer to haul for next to nothing. Dave (EllenwoodEquestrianCenter) turned out to be the right guy in the right place at the right time. “

We’re glad to be of service, but it is really the great uShip Service Providers we have on our site that go out of their way to make the Highway to Help program work. We were incredibly happy to hear that the books were delivered to Fort McPherson and are already on their way to the 278th Heavy Brigade Combat team.

On behalf of all of us here at uShip we’d like to thank EllenwoodEquestrianCenter and WarriorLibrary for giving us the chance to bring them together to help out the troops. Keep up the good work!

Finding a Household Mover -- Better Online or Offline? Part II: Fraud and Moving Scams

community@uShip.com — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 17:31:00 GMT

uShip CEO & Founder Matt Chasen takes a look under the hood of moving and shipping to see how it’s evolving and the innovations shaping how customers and transporters do business.

This series addresses the recent NPR Marketplace piece entitled, Online competitors move in on shippers, which posed the question, “Are consumers better off shopping online or offline for household movers?” In Part I, I attempted to distinguish uShip from other “online” ways to find a mover and also compared the 98% customer satisfaction ratings on uShip to those of the overall moving industry satisfaction rating of 80% according to a recent J.D. Power’s Study. In this post I discuss fraud and scams in the moving industry and explain why I believe that people are far better off using uShip to find a mover than any other on or offline alternative.

Unfortunately, fraud exists and the moving industry is not immune. The anonymity and lack of transparency make many places on the Internet especially vulnerable to fraud and scams. Phishing emails, fake cashier checks and money orders on craigslist, and spoofed and fake websites are common types of internet fraud according to the U.S. D.O.J. Last week, the FBI release an updated list of scams that are luring unwitting people. In addition to harming consumers, these scams also undermine consumer confidence in legitimate e-commerce and the Internet.

There are some websites out there where consumers can go to read and post reviews of movers –movingscam.com is probably the most well known. While these sites have undoubtedly help lots of people, they do have several important limitations when it comes to actually finding a mover.

First, the majority of posted “reviews” are from purportedly “scammed” customers and therefore negative (there is little incentive to seek out these websites and leave positive reviews) – so it is difficult for a person to get any sense for what percentage of a mover’s customers have negative experiences, which is ultimately what is useful.

The second drawback is that it is impossible to validate that these reviews are being left by legitimate customers. Anyone can leave one anonymously, and posts can be faked by competitors and others with ulterior motives.

Third, customers have to actively search for these reviews – they do not accompany quotes from these movers that customers might get from websites or offline.

What Makes uShip Different

One of our goals at uShip is to create not only the most efficient, but also the safest possible place online to find moving and transport companies. We’ve built a transparent, transactional marketplace where movers are rated by their actual, verified uShip customers. By comparison, the reviews site AngiesList.com, claims to verify reviews, but they actually charge a fee just to read reviews – something that is absolutely free on uShip.

In addition to real customer feedback, uShip has sophisticated fraud detection systems, detailed articles about how to avoid fraud and a dedicated Fraud Prevention and Support Team that works closely with government agencies and law enforcement to assist our users. All of these features make uShip one of the safest ways to find a mover, and almost certainly safer than Craigslist, directories or any alternatives, whether online or offline.

In fact, fraud is so rare on uShip that we are able to protect our users from most types of fraud with our “Ship with Confidence” Guarantee – which we actually just increased from $200 to $500, effective September 1st, 2009. Since launching our Guarantee two years ago, users have done over $70 million of business and we’ve only had 4 claims. Of course, as in any online transaction, it is critically important that users take basic steps to protect themselves (as outlined in our Fraud Prevention Guidelines).

Safe uShipping, everyone, and look for Part III of this series: Evaluating Moving Companies.

Transportation News for Sept 1st to Sept 18th

community@uShip.com — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 19:13:00 GMT

A bit of good news for truck drivers in Maine next year:

Maine Turnpike Authority plans to develop 30 new parking spots and equip them with devices that provide air conditioning, heating and electricity, and possibly cable TV and Internet connections.

For drivers that often have do nothing but in their cab for 11 hours a day due to federal regulations, this could be a great money saver. Estimates are that truckers could save around $38 for every 10 hours previously spent idling because of reduced diesel costs and engine wear. Although there are already these types of devices in private truck stops in New England and California, Maine is one of the first states to begin installing them from EPA grants from the stimulus. They also come with a great environmental reward, each new electrical parking spot could save 2000 tons of CO2 emissions a year.

Tracking the Transportation Lobbyists

The Center for Public Integrity has begun releasing information on the lobbying efforts on the new Transportation Bill. Almost 1800 special interest groups are actively involved in lobbying for special concessions in the $500 billion bill. The center has released a map tracking 3500 lobbying events by location, and includes the amount spent by each company or organization.

The concern is that the bill will be so loaded with concessions and special projects that it will fail to achieve the goals of truly modernizing the US ground transportation infrastructure, and will include new rules and regulations that could hurt the transportation industry. (Hat Tip: eTrucker)

Featured Shipments:

The Ohio University band is using uShip to list their musical instruments for the Rose Bowl Parade from the University Campus in Athens, Ohio to the Rose Bowl in Buena Park California. If you’re interested in helping the university out with their very special (and fragile!) shipment, check their listing out here to make a bid! Congratulations to the Ohio University band on being selected for the parade and good luck!

Highway To Help

When we announced Highway-to-Help, uShip’s charitable shipments program, we hoped to match up generous shippers with Transportation providers looking to help people make a difference. We were happy to see this shipment by WarriorLibrary, who is sending 22 boxes of books to the Troops in Afghanistan matched so quickly with Dartagnansblade for a bid of $5. The books will complete the first 892 miles from New Jersey to Georgia via uShip, before making their 7,400 journey to Afghanistan. Thanks to both of them for lending a helping hand!

World's Largest Truck Convoy Drives Donations

community@uShip.com — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 16:01:00 GMT

The Special Olympics is once again hosting the World’s Largest Truck Convoy to help raise money for its events.

We’re always happy to hear about members of the transportation industry who go out of their way to help others. The Special Olympics has long realized the giving spirit of our industry and has been hosting the World’s Largest Truck Convoy since 2001, raising millions of dollars for their programs in the process.

The events are held locally with collaboration from local law enforcement, truck drivers, and trucking companies. For a donation of $100 drivers can register for the event and become eligible for special prizes for the participants that raise the most money, including the honor of being the lead truck in the convoy. The 2008 US Convoy’s featured over 1700 trucks and raised $643,000 for the Special Olympics, and the Canadian one had over 2000 truckers participating.

If you would like to find out more information about the Convoy in your area, you can look up the 2009 convoy contacts. If you do participate, make sure to send us your pictures and let us know how it went!

TXTing While Driving no LOLing matter

community@uShip.com — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 20:40:00 GMT

Virginia Tech Study shows texting while driving 23 times more dangerous than regular driving, 3 times more dangerous than drunk driving.

The controversy over texting-while-driving has growing recently as “smart phones” get more popular and we send over 110 billion text messages a year in the US alone. Sure, texting gives truck drivers a quick way to check in with dispatch and keep in touch with family while on the road. But the message is quickly coming in that texting while driving, or Driving While Distracted (DWD) is far more dangerous than anyone originally thought.

The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI) has released a report about the risks of various cell phone distractions while driving. The FMCSA - financed study tracked the eye glances of truck drivers as they performed various phone-related tasks while driving. Their results show that an average of 4.6 out of every 6 seconds are spent looking away from the road while texting, making the driver 23 times more likely to crash. Could you drive safely if you had your eyes closed for five seconds out of every six?

The results are even more surprising when you consider the risk involved in texting at the wheel are three times higher than driving above the legal BAC limit. Despite these findings, only 14 states ban texting while driving, although a national ban is supported by the Governors Highway Safety Association, a national group representing state highway safety officials. . The VTTI report said unequivocally, “Texting should be banned in moving vehicles for all drivers.” Causing a car crash while texting in Utah can lead to a 15 year prison sentence.

Although the risk in texting is very great , the study also shows that talking on a hands free device has very little increased risk. Texting may be a cheaper alternative to talking, but the long term costs can be much higher. If you absolutely have to send a text message the only safe way to do it is to wait until you can stop to do it. It may be inconvenient, but the risks highly outweigh the benefits. Do you text while driving? Do you think it should be illegal? Let us know in the comments.

Making Your Next Sailboat Move a Breeze

community@uShip.com — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 16:12:00 GMT

Maritime ventures need to be well played and wisely timed, especially during Hurricane Season. Erika, Fred, Grace and Henri and the rest of this season’s blowhards are sure to follow Danny, which is currently breathing down the neck of the Carolinas. No matter what time of year you make a seaward journey, make sure you are well prepared for the high winds, rough oceans, and have everything you need. And for Pete’s sake, look at a map.

For one couple, the voyage from Annapolis to Florida left them shaken and their broken boat beached in North Carolina – and later it was discovered they were unaware of a much safer route along the Intracoastal Waterway. Seaworthy magazine reported that during their trip (which was before Hurricane Season), the rough conditions caused the anchor to damage the prop and left the sails unusable, with the rough waves quickly propelling them to the sandy beaches. A surfer who saw the accident happen was surprised that the man had braved the ocean rather than using the Intracoastal Waterway, but the skipper had never even heard of it.

Crashing in to the shore can be one of the better scenarios. Not having the right communications equipment can leave you lost at sea for days, with the coast guard unable to track and find you. Two young boys learned the hard way, when they were stranded at sea for six days without food or water, and no way to contact the coast guard.

Of course, the safest way to get your ship to Florida from the North East is to ship your boat on uShip. With uShip tracking your boat will never get lost, and your carrier is unlikely to get stranded at sea. If you insist on making the journey, make sure you are well prepared for the high winds, rough oceans, and have everything you need to survive and get rescued, should the worst case scenario happen to you.

Finding a Household Mover -- Better Online or Offline? Part I: Customer Satisfaction

matt@uship.com — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 21:36:00 GMT

uShip CEO & Founder Matt Chasen takes a look under the hood of moving and shipping to see how it’s evolving and the innovations shaping how customers and transporters do business.

On a recent NPR Marketplace piece, Online competitors move in on shippers, the question was posed, “Are consumers better off shopping online or offline for household movers?” It’s a great question and one I wanted to weigh in on with more uShip perspective beyond what was in the piece.

First, I think it is important to distinguish uShip from other “online” ways people find movers such as craigslist or other online directories and venues that do not have uShip’s unique model and tools, such as feedback, customer-reviews and fraud protection. Therefore, I think it’s important to reframe this question a bit to “Are customers better off shopping on uShip or offline for household movers?

Some quick background… A core part of our mission at uShip is to empower both consumers and transportation service providers by creating the first transparent marketplace in an industry that has historically lacked accountability and transparency. Our unbiased feedback system is unique in the industry and helps people find the very best movers while also incentivizing movers to provide the best customer service.

I would argue that customer satisfaction is the best metric to look at when evaluating if consumers are better off using uShip vs. offline alternatives. The fact is that over 98% of feedback left on uShip is positive and less than 1% is negative (remaining is neutral). Compare that to the J.D. Power’s 2009 Full Service Moving Company Customer Satisfaction Study, where they found that “overall satisfaction with moving companies averages 804 on a 1,000-point scale” (for those of us that are mathematically challenged, that’s 80.4%). “Mayflower Transit improves substantially from 2008 to rank highest in 2009 with a score of 831”. Not to take anything away from Mayflower's impressive win here (many of Mayflower's agents and affiliates are actually members of uShip), but an 83% positive rating would put them in the bottom 10% of movers on uShip.

I encourage everyone to check out the article as well as the related mover ratings, press release and video – there are some pretty interesting and relevant findings. “Satisfaction with shipping estimates is nearly equal among customers whose estimates are completed in-person and online-averaging 807 and 805, respectively. However, shipping estimate satisfaction among customers who receive their initial quote over the phone averages 12 to 14 points lower than that of customers whose estimates were completed using either of the other two methods.” So, even among customers of the same movers, online quoting beats the very common “offline” practice of quoting over the phone.

When it comes to customer satisfaction, I do not know of any other online or offline alternatives that even come close to uShip's 98+% positive overall rating. Of course, we at uShip cannot take credit for the outstanding service that our members receive - so I would like to recognize and thank our thousands of household movers for helping to provide arguably the best customer satisfaction available anywhere. In Part II of this series, I will address the issue of fraud in the moving industry.

Bid Options Help Streamline Bidding and Acceptance Process

community@uShip.com — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 00:07:00 GMT

uShip.com now gives users more options when placing and reviewing bids. Service Providers can now offer additional services to shipping customers through the new Bid Options feature. This streamlines the bidding process, allowing Service Providers to give different service options with one bid. Customers can then select the exact services they require.

Bid Options are currently available in the cars and light trucks, power boats, sail boats and motorcycles categories. Service Providers can add options to their bids from the bid form or from My Rates. Options may be offered for a flat fee or as a percentage of the bid. When a customer reviews the bid, they can select the options they would like to include, and the cost of these options will be included in the total bid price.

As an example, up until now, if a Service Provider wanted to offer a different price for open and enclosed vehicle transport, they would need to place separate bids for each service, maybe $400 for open and $500 for enclosed. With Bid Options, they can place one bid of $400 with a $100 option for an enclosed trailer and let the customer choose the service they need.

Ten Tips for Setting up a Great Service Provider Profile

community@uShip.com — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 16:30:00 GMT

In an effort to help our Service Providers give the best service possible, we compiled a list of our top 10 tips for setting up a great Service Provider profile on uShip.com.

1. Fill out your profile completely! The first tip toward setting up a great TSP profile is to fill it out completely. The more information you provide in your profile, the more comfortable a shipper will feel in accepting your bid.

2. Add Pictures & Video: Pictures and video go a long way to differentiate you from the thousands of other TSPs on the site, and help give your profile a personal touch. Show pictures of yourself, your employees, your trucks, etc. Adding video to your profile gives you an even better chance to speak to your customer. They don't have to be professionally made, but keep them professional and friendly. Help the shipper get to know you, and they'll feel more comfortable about your bid.

3. Include your USDOT or MC #s. Not only will your USDOT or MC numbers make the shipper feel more confident in your service, it will also help automate building your profile. By letting the shipper know that you're a licensed service provider you can ease their worries about trusting you with their valuable belongings.

4. Spell Check. Your profile is your public face to the shipper. If your business description is poorly written, they may assume you're a sloppy worker as well. Don't underestimate the power of proper writing. If you need help, there are many programs out there that will spell check your writing for you.

5. Use the "Terms & Conditions" on your profile. The unique "Terms and Conditions" that you can set will appear in all the bids you make on our site. Make sure to use this box to your advantage by putting info that you want all shippers to see. If you have any requirements or perks to using you over another TSP, make sure you let them know here.

6. Join the TSP Directory. By joining the Service Provider directory, you can help new users find you and put in requests for bids. This is especially useful once you start building good feedback, or if you offer specialized services. You can't look at every shipment listed on the site, so help the shippers find you.

7. Don't include contact info. Including contact info on your profile is against the uShip terms of service and can get you flagged. Avoid this blunder by keeping your contact info off of your public profile. Don't worry, we'll make sure you can get in touch once you are matched with a shipper.

8. Leave Feedback (and be professional) Every piece of feedback you leave and get shows up on your TSP profile. Make sure you are professional and polite to all your customers, even if they leave you bad feedback. Shippers want to know that you're easy to work with, and that you'll help them if any problems arise.

9. Highlight Specialty Services: If you offer any specialty services like white glove moving, piano and pool table moving, or heavy equipment moving for example, make sure to highlight it on your profile. This way a shipper can search for your services, and feel more competent that you are qualified to move their property when you bid.

10. Keep up to date with new Profile Tools: We are constantly working on new tools to help you offer a better service to your clients. By incorporating these great new tools into your profile, you can be the first to offer them to your customers. Our newest release, uShip Tracking allows you to keep your customers up to date with the location of their shipment, giving them peace of mind and confidence.

uShip University: Trucker Lingo 101

community@uShip.com — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 19:37:00 GMT

“I had the hammer down on the way home-20 to my better half and the ankle biters, but now this baby-bear is taking pictures so I’m going double-nickel.”

While the words may be in English, I may as well be speaking a different language: Trucker.

Most truckers spend some time every day on CB radios (and some never seem to get off them) and have developed their own language, a code of the road that has been defined and refined through the years. Fear not, our friends over at The Trucker’s Report have compiled a list of trucker’s lingo and sayings to help the rest of us communicate. Here are some of our favorites to help you decode the sentence above:

Hammer Down: Going as fast as you can
Home-20: Your Home
Better half: Wife (Or husband)
Ankle Biters: Children
Baby-Bear: Rookie Cop
Taking Pictures: Police using
Radar Double Nickel: 55 Mph.

Wikipedia has also compiled a list of “Ten-Code” – code phrases used in CB and Police Radio Communication:
10-4: Ok, Understood, or Affirmative
10-20: My current location.
10-36: The time of day (as in “What’s the 10-36?”)

Take some time to study and learn these, you'll know when you're fluent if you can listen to Cleddus Maggard’s 1970s song “The White Knight” and understand what he's talking about!

Don’t forget to let us know what your favorite bits of Trucker lingo are in the comments!

Heroic Trucker Back on the Road

community@uShip.com — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 19:48:00 GMT

On March 19, 2009 we published a brief post about the four finalists for Goodyear’s Highway Hero award. Here we follow-up with one of the finalists, Jorge Orozco-Sanchez, as he recently got back on the road.

Eight months ago Jorge Orozco-Sanchez came face to face with every trucker’s nightmare; an oncoming vehicle in his lane. The terrible accident that ensued occurred when an SUV drifted in front of his 18-wheeler on a two-lane highway near Lucern, Colorado. Amazingly, Orozco-Sanchez was able to climb from his cab in time to pull two young children from the burning wreckage.

In the following months Orozco-Sanchez struggled to overcome the accident. In addition to the haunting memory, the crash totaled his truck and left him out of work. However, as news of his situation spread, aid soon came to the heroic driver. Financial assistance has allowed Orozco-Sanchez to begin making payments on a used rig, as well as cover insurance, and Goodyear donated 18 new tires.

Now, less than a year after the accident, Orozco-Sanchez is back on the road. Although the emotion of being behind the wheel for the first time was overwhelming, he says he is “very happy, excited. Very thankful to all the folks who helped me get back on the road."

Through it all Orozco-Sanchez insists that he is not a hero, just a person in the right place at the right time. Click here for more on this story.

The World From Inside the Rig

community@uShip.com — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 17:37:00 GMT

Spend thousands of hours on the road and you'll see some wondrous sights. Beautiful sunsets and glowing streets are just part of the job. Luckily for those of us stuck behind a desk instead of behind the wheel, there are some incredibly talented drivers taking amazing photographs of life on the road. We recently came across the Trucker's News Photo Group on Flickr that has over 2200 of the best photos taken by truck drivers on the Great American Highway.

Here are some of our favorites, but be sure to check out the flickr page for more!
