Please reply to post W/150 wrds

Uber has disrupted the taxi industry when it was introduced into the taxi world. The simple concept of downloading an app, request to get picked up from one location and then being dropped off in a requested destination is what Uber is all about. The consumers see the rate for the requested ride and pay for it upfront. Uber Freight brings that similar concept into the logistics transportation industry; it facilitates the connection between truck drivers, carriers, and owner-operator to loads that are available near them. It is hard to say if it will have the same takeover impact, it will have as it did in the taxi industry. Logistics is more complex than the taxi industry. There are multiple reasons as to why Uber Freight brings a positive change to the transportation industry. Truck drivers are held to brokers to book them loads in locations and at times it causes for drivers to have to sit and waste time without a load; Uber Freight provides, truck drivers having more control over their loads, offers a quicker payout, 7 days as opposed to 30, reduction in the time it takes for drivers to book loads, literally gives drivers a lot more control over a few clicks on the application, and finally drivers will see the amount a load will pay upfront. The cons about Uber Freight being application based, is in an industry that has been around for so long and has set processes, it will be difficult for an application based product to take over. Uber Freight will have its work cut out in order to succeed in the transportation industry.
