What is Uber Freight’s cancellation policy?

A load can be canceled without penalty if it is more than 24 hours from pickup. If a load is canceled within 24 hours of pickup and a carrier has been assigned, a TONU will be charged to the shipper.

To check if your load has a carrier assigned, visit the Dashboard page on the shipper platform.

Note: TONU means “truck order not used.” This is a fee charged to the shipper when a load is canceled or not used while a driver is on the way to or at the pickup location.

For more information on TONU rates, view Uber Freight’s accessorial policy.
