Very Disappointing Experience with Uber Freight
After we returned to West Sacramento, they asked us to deliver the pallet to Manteca. Later, they asked us to deliver it to a food bank in Sacramento. We told them we were busy and could deliver it Tuesday. We delivered the pallet today at 11:30 AM and sent the paperwork.
We called CJ Oquendo, Uber Freight OS&D Account Manager II, 20 times, emailed 5 times, and called Uber Freight 5 times. Instead of helping us, they offered only $50 after wasting three days of our time through no fault of our own.
CJ Oquendo’s handling of this situation was very disappointing. He showed a bad attitude instead of helping us resolve the problem. Uber Freight wasted our time and money, and $50 is not fair compensation.
I don’t understand how Uber Freight gets so many 5-star reviews when this is how they treat carriers. I question whether some reviews reflect real carrier experiences. Management needs to investigate this issue and treat carriers fairly.
Very disappointing service. I would not recommend Uber Freight based on this experience.
What a circus 🤡
This app is bad not downloading

An intrusive freight app with plummeting rates, phantom discrepancies, and constant surveillance
One of the most immediate roadblocks is that you can’t even open the application unless you grant continuous access to your location. Demanding constant, 24/7 location permissions—even when you aren't using the app, off-duty, or running loads completely unrelated to Uber Freight—crosses a major privacy line. Treating professional drivers with this level of background surveillance just to check the load board is completely unacceptable.
To make matters worse, carriers frequently run into maddening rate discrepancies between what is advertised on traditional load boards like DAT and what actually populates inside the Uber Freight app. You spot a lane on DAT looking somewhat viable, only to log into the app and find a drastically lower rate or conflicting details, turning the search into a frustrating guessing game.
When you do encounter issues, getting any meaningful help is an uphill battle. The customer service experience is notoriously hollow, often leaving drivers stuck in automated loops or dealing with support reps who can't resolve facility delays, detention, or payment discrepancies.
When you factor in low margins, mismatched rate postings, a complete lack of responsive customer support, and the invasive requirement to keep your location wide open 24/7, the app feels less like a partnership tool and more like an overreaching tracking mechanism. Save yourself the headache and look to more transparent, respectful platforms for your freight.

Sucks
Useless
Communication is another big problem. Many of the reps don’t understand basic English, which makes it very hard to explain urgent load issues. When you’re dealing with time-sensitive freight, this kind of communication gap is unacceptable.
We do our job as a carrier, but it feels like they don’t support drivers or respect our time. This is not the first time this has happened, and it’s getting worse.
Overall, very disappointing experience. Carriers deserve better transparency, better communication, and fair detention pay.
Also fake reviews from there own works from other countries
Cheapest & not in favor small trucking
Overall quality of app is a “D-“
-Loads Type- F, all loads are max out on weight and take forever to unload at receivers
-Detention Pay- F, uber freight will do anything possible to keep from paying out detention or TONU
-App it’s self- B, very user friendly and easy to manage but the location tracker will glitch out most times which will cause issues regarding loads
