I used to work in this industry, first as driver for years, then as manager for a few years, onwards to the next rank before I jumped off and started my own digital business.
I know everything there is about managing loads, uncertainty, unpaid waiting time and logistical elements as billing and "simply" getting paid in time.
This is Uber revolutionising the long haul part of the business and seemingly they know exactly what truckdrivers value; freedom. Not freedom from work, but from everything that clutters the experience they love; driving for miles and miles. It's that simple and if Uber allows the possibility that they can go back to owning their own truck again (not sub-employed), they certainly will not let that change go easily.
Good luck Uber and let the competitors roll in and change this freight market in need for a digital update for decades!

@vegardwikeby Totally agree. I hear getting paid, and the logistics is a nightmare. If they can solve this problem, it's a huge profit for them.
