ONE20 Beats Uber Freight for Convenience and Value
With all eyes on capacity, major transportation players such as Uber
Freight are looking to capitalize on the imminent shortage of
professional truck drivers. Establishing a freight marketplace that
allows drivers to secure freight through an online and mobile platform
is a great start for streamlining over-the-road components of the supply
chain.
The use of load boards is a smart way to fill the gaps between
higher-yielding loads and the needs of many independent owner operators
and small fleets. Securing freight is imperative for drivers, but
shippers, carriers and brokers take advantage of drivers all too often.
ONE20 believes that value-added services and benefits shouldn't be tied
to a fleet, a broker or shipper, but to the individual putting in the
effort - the driver.
Many organizations, including Uber Freight, are looking to provide added
benefits as part of their recruitment and retention efforts.
Unfortunately, these value-added services are often tied to contracts,
hidden fees and tricky terms and conditions. Benefits are then similarly
tied to the source of each load instead of providing unencumbered
savings and value for the individual drivers themselves.
In an effort to help maintain the independence sought by American
truckers, ONE20 is offering expanded free membership benefits that
exceed the value of any and all association, load board, shipper and
broker offerings. Potential savings now total more than $24,000 annually
for ONE20 members, while the cost of membership remains free. ONE20
cautions drivers to research options before signing up for something
tied to shippers and brokers and look instead at how a free ONE20
membership can help their businesses save money.
"The Uber program for freight and fuel is fairly pedestrian," said ONE20
founder and CEO Christian Schenk. "Rather than catering to driver needs
and wants, their programs are riddled with hidden fees, restrictions and
critical gaps in available services. Independent truckers know a good
deal when they see it, and these offerings simply don't measure up with
what ONE20 provides."
