    “When you say Uber, it means something in your mind,” Driegert said.

    Yes, Bill, it does. Unfortunately not what you are hoping for. Uber entered the market 3 years ago with a big promise of autonomous trucks. I got the early demo. Today, Uber is just a badly run broker that is going to go the way of Celadon. I don’t see them here in 3 years.

    Uber Freight is all smoke and mirrors. There’s no magic. I worked there for over a year. We were just losing money for no reason other than to help Lior pretend we were growing.

    According to Forbes 94% of startup companies that lose money for 3 years or more end up in bankruptcy. Dead.

    ALL these startup brokers are all losing money so fast that the end is inevitable for most of them (well 94% of them at least lol).

    Why is nobody talking about that? What’s changed in the world to make everyone think losing money is the new way to prosperity?

      Freightwaves, Overdrive, Truckstop.com, DAT solutions know all this garbage about cheap freight and wont say nothing. Agree with you on the losing money part!
