The trucking industry is worth hundreds of billions of dollars per year. Uber is going after this market with Uber Freight, an online platform that matches truckers with shippers looking to move cargo from one place to another.
In 2018, about 3.5 million people in the United States were employed as truck drivers. With the explosion of Amazon and other e-commerce companies, the demand for truck drivers has been outpacing supply. In 2018, the United States trucking industry was short over 60,000 drivers. If the trend holds, experts predict there could be a 160,000 driver shortage by 2028.

@tjmarx 3 года назад

Uber is acting as a broker in a market with well established other brokers. The vast majority of truckers are owner/drivers. That means they own their truck and already work for themselves The person shipping decides what they want to spend and offers the job, drivers pick up the job based on whether they think it's worthwhile or not. Uber just provides the platform to allow shipper and trucker to meet. It's the same system as already established just digital. It is unlikely to have a downward force on prices offered, especially when there are a shortage of drivers and the cost of entry is around $350K Similar story for Amazon, those drivers aren't employees. There are no write ups, the efficiency of the job is between the driver and the shipper. The shipper says they need it at destination X by Y time. As long as that is met everyone is happy. Truck brokerage is a perfect fit for Ubers business model, even far moreso than rideshare.

@tjmarx 3 года назад

@@dalpz205 Uber don't have drivers. It's this misunderstanding from people like you that make rideshare a bad model for uber and freight a great model. Owner/driver truckers already understand they aren't uber employees, they're their own separate business. They already understand uber is just a broker. They already understand the rules of the game. In terms of rideshare, if you're trying to make that your only income you're failing at life. There's a reason Uber don't conduct interviews, you aren't an employee. Uber rideshare is intended to be used casually as a ride pool. That is, you're heading in direction A. Bob over here wants to go in direction A too but doesn't have a car. You would like a bit of money to subsidize the fuel costs and maybe a little money in your pocket for beer money or whatever. Uber acts as a broker to match you with Bob. If you're doing anything else with Uber you're using the platform wrong and that's your problem, not uber's.

@marcmckenzie5110 3 года назад

Adam, you are absolutely right - and I know very little about the freight industry, but like many of their pieces its clear CNBC does very lazy reporting. How it works is corporations host briefings for media like CNBC, put on a dog & pony show trying to put their company strategy in the best possible light. That part is generally OK; this is usually fairly honest old-fashioned salesmanship. People relate to people, so after a good lunch and/or dinner together, both parties leave feeling a level of confidence in understanding. Later, press kits or press releases go to the media company or industry analyst, and being very busy and under pressure, most pretty much just use that information as their slightly edited “news article” I’m experienced at this on both sides of the table, and CNBC is unimpressive.

The misconceptions is that their is a shortage of driver No!!!!there not. Only freight company’s are having a shortage because there doing the exact thing Urber Frieght is try to do and that’s by paying drivers cheap and trying to survive off of volume. But the pay doesn’t match the long hour, weeks and sometimes months out on the road= high turnover rate... so don’t be fooled by this one side prospective consumers don’t win and driver don’t win and as you can see Uber freight not winning... but Business is Booming for Big businesses 😉....

I love all the tech company babble about people being the most important, the only thing that really matters to a company is revenue. In this case the strategy is to 'install' themselves in the trucking industry right before everything automates, so that when it happens they are perfectly ready to just transition to automation all while already having the biggest market share hoarded for themselves. Not the best moment to become a truck driver if you are young (or any manual labor for that matter). I guess they have 10 to 20 years of lifespan max before all this is completely automated.
