I just don't see an Uber type app working that well in that field. They want to know when and where not well we will announce a shipment and hope someone shows up soon, that is how they get penalties for late deliveries.

It won't work for all shipments, especially anyone running in a JIT environment, but there are a number of shipments that already have to wait a day or more for someone your broker uses to be in the area or to deadhead back from their last drop off. The more truckers that sign on the more successful it will be. If they supported cargo van-sized shipments I would consider quitting my current job and giving that a shot. I just don't want to deal with getting a CDL and all the DOT regs plus having to invest in a tractor.
