Moving what matters when it matters most
The freight industry is the lifeblood of the economy. Demand for essential goods has grown, directly affecting the shippers and carriers who are on the front lines of producing and delivering these goods. As we face the challenges of this health crisis together, Uber Freight remains committed to supporting our carriers and our shippers.
Committed to helping
Uber Freight is working with carriers and shippers to ensure critical supply chains continue to keep the economy and relief efforts in motion.
Moving essential supplies
Since the crisis started, Uber Freight has moved more than 1 billion pounds of emergency relief supplies including food and water, hospital beds, and face masks. Hundreds of these loads were booked at zero profit.
Supporting communities in need
Collaborating with other companies, we’re donating deliveries of essential supplies, such as PPE, to healthcare facilities and food banks across the country.
Important information for carriers
During this challenging time, Uber Freight is committed to the safety and well-being of carriers and their drivers, who keep freight moving and essential supplies stocked.
Safety at facilities
Your health is our priority. At facilities, consider remaining in your cab as much as possible and wearing gloves to minimize contact when handling objects touched by others, including door handles and diesel pumps.
Important load details
Check your rate-con and in-app load notes to get up-to-date information and guidelines from shippers, like reduced hours, altered check-in processes, and more.
Sharing advice to stay healthy
We’re reminding everyone who uses Uber Freight to follow advice from public health authorities. If you’re sick, stay home and away from others. Wash your hands frequently, and cover your cough or sneeze.
