Many transporters on uShip have years, even decades, of transport experience. Often this experience was gained behind the wheel of an 18-wheel big rig, which also brought big operating expenses.\r\n \r\nThose same drivers now haul goods in sprinter vans, box trucks, and pickups with trailers. With a smaller vehicle, comes far less operating expense, yet profit can still remain high by tapping into uShip\u2019s constant flow of shipments from consumers and businesses.<\/p>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"full_width_image","full_width_image_id":"household-goods","full_width_image_image":8371},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_block","text_block_id":"","text_block_background_color":"sectionGrey","text_block_intro":"Household Goods","text_block_content":"
Household Goods is uShip's top-earning category. The top 5% of Household Goods carriers make over $80,000<\/strong>, while the top 10% make an average of $56,000<\/strong>. There\u2019s a drop off to the next level down -- the top 25% make an average of nearly $30,000<\/strong>, but when you consider the ability to dabble in other categories or combine with other freight sources, it can add up to a nice annual income.<\/p>\r\n \r\n Household Goods is a volume game. Like in other categories, you need to have the right equipment, know-how, strength, and endurance to get the job done, but of all the categories on uShip, Household Goods is the place may transporters start because it includes furniture, antiques, appliances, and more.<\/p>\r\n \r\n This category also includes uShip In-Home Delivery<\/strong>, a specialty service for online furniture sellers who use uShip for delivery.<\/p>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"full_width_image","full_width_image_id":"motorcycles","full_width_image_image":8373},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_block","text_block_id":"","text_block_background_color":"sectionWhite","text_block_intro":"Motorcycles","text_block_content":" The top Motorcycles carriers<\/strong> make an average of over $71,500<\/strong> while the top 10% average $53,000<\/strong> and the top 25% average $32,500<\/strong> per year. Behind Household Goods, it\u2019s the second highest-earning category on uShip.<\/p>\r\n \r\n uShip is one of the most popular places to ship motorcycles, mopeds, ATVs, trikes, and more.
