I've heard a lot of hype about USHIP from from friends and coworkers, and just like most folks I'm skeptical until I experience something for myself.
Well, I'm a skeptic no more!
I Needed a tractor shipped about 600 miles to my door. I wanted it ASAP. I posted my request on USHIP in the morning. Within an hour I had several bids, and 20 minutes later I accepted a bid that would have the tractor to my door that very night! Delivery was seamless and the price was right.
USHIP is real-time...I've seen it so I believe it. Chances are there's a driver somewhere near your pick up spot at any given time. With USHIP you can effectively communicate your needs and find a driver in the right place at the right time.
Without USHIP I would have never found a deal like I did. I'm confident I would have waited at least a week for pickup and paid much more.
What a great use of the internet!
