Tesla unveiling their all electric trucks soon and they will have autopilot although obviously not ready for full automation.

Uber is out looking for a business model and that's great; it's just that without self driving capabilities in reality they are just a temp agency with a bad rep operating deep in the red.

I don't get how they get anywhere with this? If your a company that has a lot of freight you get a thousand calls a day from brokers wanting your business.

Perhaps they'd want to avoid getting a thousand calls every day?

Besides, this would be more useful for smaller businesses that don't ship as often.

Not sure how it's different than uship, freightcenter.com, freightquote.com

Sounds like uShip?
