To prove it, we compared offers to ship a bulldozer from a Florida auction to a client in the northeast. As expected, Heavy Haulers offered to complete the transport at a slightly lower cost than UShip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The task was <a style=\"color: #daa520;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.heavyhaulers.com\/manufacturer-komatsu.php\n\">hauling a Komatsu<\/a> D51PX 22 Crawler Tractor from Davenport, Florida, to Londonderry, New Hampshire. The bulldozer weighs 29,000 pounds. It\u2019s 16 feet long, 11 feet wide and 9 feet 8 inches tall, and fit on a step-deck trailer. Only the width was oversize, requiring permits from all eight states along the travel path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavyhaulers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/58328.jpeg\" alt=\"Shipping equipment on a flatbed trailer\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How UShip Works<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>UShip provides an online platform where shippers and carriers can meet. If you choose a carrier from UShip, you pay UShip a fee equal to a percentage of the cost of the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone can register for a UShip account. UShip lets counterparties see each others\u2019 reviews and activity data, to help people choose the person with whom they want to do business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike other online shippers,UShip provides you with the identity of the company bidding on your load. The opportunity exists to bypass the platform (and its fees) to strike a side deal with any carrier who bids on your load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UShip Fees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>UShip charges a straight 7% fee for each heavy equipment delivery. That\u2019s lower than the fees charged by their online competitors. There\u2019s no fee if your auction fails to attract a bid you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carriers also pay UShip a fee. The carrier fee is on a sliding scale based upon the value of the <a style=\"color: #daa520;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.heavyhaulers.com\/services\/equipment-transport-services.php\n\">equipment-shipping<\/a> contract. The carrier fee is about twice as much, somewhere around 15% of the value of the contract, as the shipper fee. So UShip takes a cut of the profits from both ends of the transaction, a total amount equal to more than 20% of the value of the shipping cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavyhaulers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/truck-banner-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UShip Estimates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>UShip offers an initial price estimate once you post your load. UShip\u2019s Shipping Price Estimate for the dozer was $3,485.44. The initial estimate was quite close to Heavy Hauler\u2019s total bid, but the site doesn\u2019t indicate whether the estimate includes the UShip shipping fee or not.<br><br>UShip\u2019s estimate also turned out to be within two dollars of the final best bid placed by carriers. The estimate program searches for loads of a similar size to your posting that recently have traveled the same path. You\u2019re also provided with information that tells you how reliable each similar load is to your load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UShip Auctions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving on to the shipping quotes section, you have two options: Set Your Own Price or Get Quotes Now. Since the estimate had already set a price, we asked to Get Quotes Now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A bidding war broke out among three companies who wanted to <a style=\"color: #daa520;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.heavyhaulers.com\/bulldozer-transport-services.php\n\">transport the dozer<\/a>. Over the 10 days of the auction, bids continued to drop as these companies fought it out. While the end result was positive, you can\u2019t help but feel the UShip carriers were ready to charge you more than market price if other bidders hadn\u2019t appeared. One company issued a first bid of $4,635. Their final bid was $3,386, more than 25% lower than the initial bid. Another carrier started at $3,900 and finished at $3,400. A third bidder began at $3,894 and ended at $3,388.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have the time and your listing draws enough interest, you can reach a fair market price. But watch out for the initial offers, they\u2019re steep. At Heavy Haulers, our initial offer represents our best assessment of the current market price. You won\u2019t get multiple offers from Heavy Haulers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Results: Heavy Haulers vs. UShip<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, UShip offered stiff competition to Heavy Haulers. UShip\u2019s total cost was only 5% higher than Heavy Haulers\u2019 total cost. The UShip auction was acceptable, with three companies providing ever-lower bids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lowest we could move the bulldozer on UShip was $3,621. That includes the best bid from UShip, $3,386, plus a service fee of $237.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heavy Haulers bid $3,500, very close to UShip\u2019s best bid. Remember, though, that your transportation broker has a professional stake in making sure your cargo is delivered properly. Online shippers simply match your load with a carrier, then they wash their hands of the deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An experienced transportation agent marshals your transport to a successful conclusion. Your agent makes sure the carrier lives up to its promises. If something goes wrong with the shipment \u2013 scheduling conflicts, machinery breakdowns, personal emergencies \u2013 you\u2019ll be glad you choose the services of a professional transportation agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step Deck Quote<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #ffc600;\"> Step 1:<\/span> Fill Out Quote Form<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fill out the short &amp; easy quote form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #ffc600;\">Step 2:<\/span> Speak With An Agent<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll pick up your heavy equipment or vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #ffc600;\">Step 3:<\/span> Get Transported On Time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We deliver on time so you can get back to work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transporting A Dozer: Heavy Haulers vs. UShip Heavy Haulers offers a better service, at a cheaper pr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":530,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[46,50,49],"class_list":["post-529","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bulldozer-shipping","tag-bulldozer-shipping","tag-equipment-hauling-estimates","tag-free-quotes"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
