If you check facebook and sites like this: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/shipping-wars-tv-review-280124#comments you will see A&E screwd-da-pooch.

Not Uship either: Thats it! Let the whole world into our world without any regulations or licensing. Sick of this! For better service without getting ripped off by Uship, I highly recoomend you use ShipAlmostAnything.com instead.

NOT uship: ""… All you need is a laptop and a trailer," the narrator says in the show's lead in, "and you're a shipping company."" I posed this question to Ray LaHood to see if this was the case. I guess DOT licensing, insurance and inspections are not needed. Forgetabouddit. No need to keep a log book for following the HOS rules and since you are not licensed, you don't need to claim taxes. Other americans will pay your tax burden for you. Go out there, you got a laptop and trailer? You are now a trucker!

NO SHIP: WOW this show makes uship look really bad. They take advantage of people trying to make a living . All you need is a lap top and the race to the bottom begins. Who ever desperate enough gets the job .Maybe these wanabe truckers should go to work for a real company and they wouldn't have to compete with bottom feeders. NOT A SHOW FOR REAL TRUCKERS.

timallen: You said that! I can not believe they stoop to make a show about this.

We actually had the opportunity of using uship.com when our grandmother passed away and needed to have our 5th generation hutch shipped across the country. We had heard great reviews about the uship as a viable solution for shipping. As it turned out, our truck driver was Roy Garber.

First off the hutch was to be deliver Monday morning. He ended up showing at our place late Wednesday night. He started off by whining and complaining about all the delays he had encountered on our shipment.

When he finally took a break from taking about all the hardships he had encountered, he did provide as little as possible help getting the unit off his unit. He was not at all interested in helping us bring the antique hutch in our house unless we 'compensated him' as he put it.

When we looked over the hutch we notice a quite a few scratch and a couple of large dings on of the side and the front of the hutch. He claimed that the hutch 'was like that when he picked it up'. Funny this wasn't noted in the bill of lading.

The next thing is he tried to negotiate to have us pay more for shipping than his original bid. He said that if he had known it was going to be 'that much hassle' that he would of bidd for more. When we ask about the penalty for being over 2 1/2 days late on our delivery, he said that he could knock 'a couple of hundred bucks off the bid price if we promised to give a favorable bid on uship in order to give him a favorable review.

Then when this was all done he stood there with his hand out expecting a tip. He said 'wll you would tip the pizza delivery man wouldn't you'

So when Roy Garber says 'you get what you far for' he is speaking from experience. Remember this and stick to the professionals and call ShipAlmostAnything.com

Fuzziemitten2: Wow that sounds like such a terrible experience I'm so sorry! Like seriously, holding ur hand out asking for a tip "cause you tip the pizza guy" even though your item was delivered damaged, and he was late AND he wouldn't help you move it inside unless you paid him more?! Thats unbelievable. Seriously hope this show ruins his "shipping career"..might as well cause sounds/looks like he sucks *** at it.

Madmikeyyyyy: These people are ALL Idiots. None of them even own a pallet jack? WTF? When you need a dolly You have to go buy wheels to make one? WTF ? Can't even Siphon Fuel,he cut a hose that was about the perfect length in half ,DUH !

F3600h: This show is very upsetting to watch. This just makes us real Transportation specialist's look very bad. These guys are no where near professional enough. Bidding low,running out of fuel !! Then he put off road diesel in his truck to boot. This show must be a comedy.

David Knowles: Given all the contestants do during the program, I'm not sure this show is the best ad for UShip.

Fuzziemitten2: I'm a storage war fan so I thought I'd check this out, but roy pissed me off so much within the first 5 minutes of him being on screen I could hardly stay focused. His personality is so disgusting idk why the producers thought he'd be a good addition to the show. Ugh such an ***

Not Uship either: I would highly recommend using ShipAlmostAnything.com instead. These producers mad eit look like the lowest bidder automatically won the auction. That is not how it works. I laughed when the trucker showed up to pick up the phone booth and did not come prepared. I guess if the shipper and trucker had open comunication (like they have on ShipAlmostAnything.com) this never would have happened.

Can you say train wreck?

Latest comments about "Shipping Wars"

Ron Parrett: Shipping Wars – Worst program ever on TV. Lose it soon!

Kevin Carter: From a real truck driver perspective shipping wars was really bad, bad for business and our reputation. It's hard enough to make a decent living out there already without these knuckleheads turning it into some kind of price war game for the sake of entertainment. The object of the game, let's work as *** as we possibly can and for as cheap as we can, doesn't sound very smart to me. I got a family to feed without this kind of nonsense.

Tony Talarico: A&E the vote is in and so are the REVIEWS your new show SHIPPING WARS SUCKS. Just read what the FANS have to say but I bet we will hear from all the newspapers and different media outlets it was GREAT. If its so great send it to them on DVD and cancel the show on tv it BLOWS

Rusty Fugitt: So far Shipping Wars is boring. I hope the incompetence is just an act for entertainment. Who sucks diesel into thier mouths anyway?

Laura Lee Wong: I lasted 3 min on Shipping Wars…gawdawful.

Stacey Arnold: Staged. ALL staged!

Jada Johnson: Shipping wars was bad. They make legit shipping companies look bad and incompetent especially Jarrett.

Kim DeLange Mora: Shipping Wars is horrible and Storage Wars Texas is the worst!!!! Seriously? Where did they find these people? Nabila is not a good addition to the show. Leave it alone! We like the originals!!!

Angela Christopher Browning: Watched storage wars original, NOT shipping wars or storage wars texas.

Michelle Eldridge Blanchard: Just watched Shipping Wars. Is anyone else upset that these people are driving these trucks and NOT wearing their seatbelts? You would think the producers would be a little more responsible.

Hollie Pittman Reynolds: Trying to watch shipping wars.. ok, well, some of the items are cool, but, the show is boring.. channel flip time!!

So, for all of you who are whining about taxes, regulations and licensing...who cares? If someone wants to pay the lowest price to have something delivered to them, why not let them? Either hire a professional freight or moving company and have your stuff arrive all cracked up anyhow, or hire someone who relies on your feedback to support their reputation. Wo do you think cares more? You all sound like a bunch of babies! You think truckers are the only people who don't pay all of their taxes? Get real.

I've been reading these comments and the first page has already pissed me off with all the ignorance and stupidity you people are showing. My uncle and I watch this show on a daily basis. Its entertaining as a show should be. To whoever dissed Roy about not being a truck driver with a cdl liscense you are really retarded. You don't need a cdl to drive your own truck and a trailer. Marc does but not Roy. Stop being ***, gain some brain ability and actually think before you say something ***. Also, if you don't like the shoe then don't watch it. You can blame the network for wasting your time but really you wasted it on your own. No one is forcing you to watch it. Stop acting like kids.

almost all, if not all, of these "reality" shows which present regular people making a living doing these "odd" jobs are relative to the times. In economic hardship, people's faith in capitalism, the dollar and the system wanes. TV is doing it's part by intimating that 'if these losers can make a buck, why are YOU sitting on the couch drawing ui benefits and wishing your labor was worth more?....." I guess "economic guilt" TV is a better term than "reality" cause the "reality" is, hauling goods across state lines is neither freelance or easy. And I never see any log books, etc; Let's boycott "reality" TV until it goes away!

I kinda like watching the show, but it is really fake. I watched it last week and Mark was hauling a big 4X4 truck and was 3" over height. They made a big deal about getting permits and being legal(which you should do). But being a car hauler myself the easy and legal thing would have been to let the air out of the tires. These were huge monster tires and you could have easily let half the air out and been at 13' 6" the legal height.

These people on this show have got to be the dumbest people on the planet. Jerred shouldn't even be allowed to drive. What a ***. They give the people in the trucking business a bad name. Marc the guy that does drive a real truck is as *** a the rest.

:) This show is such a JOKE!!. These IDIOTS, Wannabees, The fact is they can't handle a real job. Have these Morons ever hauled Freight in their life, before this. LOL. Jarret, is a total Putz, he has no clue, Jennifer, Ha, talks about her Fiancee helping, what is he, as *** as she is or probably dumber. Marc needs to go back to Truck Driving School, he can't maneuver that truck, it shows. If you want to haul freight and you're an ***, and have never done it. This is where to start, and learn the hard way, and go out of business, and lose everything. I am in business for myself to make Cash Money, would not do this. This show makes all of us professional C.D.L. Drivers look very bad, also all the other pro companies available. I have never had to ship anything personally, if i ever did I would not use these Morons!! I would do it myself if I absolutely was thinking I had to use them. Let me come in there, and show them how it's done, the proper way.
I can not watch this show any more, makes me sick to think that there are people out there like this ripping people off.

I think Roy is a big *** *** , he reck the whole show , I won't watch the show because of him anymore , also you can not remove the bolts from a flying machine and then put them back, must put new ones back in and be tighten to certain specs. , someone will die if you do that. He was so *** to do that, he don't care about the customer's property , if I paid for that flying machine and he did that to it , I would sue his *** off.
