How Do Uber Freight Payments Work?

General Payment FAQ

How does Uber Freight pay?

Uber Freight pays carriers or their preferred factoring company with ACH (Automated Clearing House) direct deposit.

How do I set up my payment information?

Carriers can add payment information when signing up for Uber Freight.

How do I change my payment information?

Carriers can submit bank documents to freightonboarding@uber.com. Factoring companies can submit Assignments/Releases (NOAs/LORs) to freightnoa@uber.com. Changes will be updated by Uber Freight within 2-3 business days.

When does Uber Freight process payments?

Uber Freight processes payments Monday through Friday at 2pm CST, excluding holidays. All required documents must be provided, reviewed, and accepted to receive on-time payment.

Why do I need to submit an acceptable proof of delivery (POD)?

Uber Freight needs to review an acceptable proof of delivery in order to release payment. Once your documents are submitted and Uber Freight receives them, our document team will review them and either approve or deny each document. If a document is rejected (too blurry, missing information, etc.), we’ll notify the primary contact email on the account. You may be asked to send in a new picture or provide additional information.

Once all required documents are approved, we’ll disburse payments in line with our payment policy and send a remittance to the primary contact email address breaking down the payment amount. The remittance will include all of the load information along with accessorials accrued during the pay period.

What payment speed options does Uber Freight offer?

Uber Freight’s standard payment speed is 30 days after a valid POD has been uploaded. Carriers can unlock faster payments by:

  • Meeting top carrier eligibility requirements to receive payments within 2 business days of valid POD upload
  • Paying a 2% fee to receive payments within 2 business days of valid POD upload
  • Earning same-day payouts (business days only) through the Uber Freight Carrier Card

How do I unlock faster payment speeds?

  • Top carriers receive payments within 2 business days of valid POD upload by meeting the top carrier eligibility requirements. For more information, review the Top Carrier Eligibility section below.
  • Carriers can elect to pay a fee of 2% of the payment amount to receive payments within 2 business days of valid POD upload. For more information, review the Faster Payment for a Fee section below.
  • Carriers that apply and are approved for the Uber Freight Carrier Card can earn same-day payments. Carriers must maintain a monthly spend of $3,500 or more per truck (based on FMCSA data) to receive the same-day payout benefit. For more information on the Uber Freight Carrier card and same-day payments visit the Uber Freight Carrier Card page.

How do I get same-day payouts with the Uber Freight Carrier Card?

Cardholders will receive same-day payouts (business days only) during the calendar month when their first Uber Freight Carrier Card transaction occurs and during the following calendar month. To maintain same-day payment eligibility for the next calendar month, carriers must spend at least $3,500 per truck each calendar month.

Top Carrier Eligibility

How do I become a top carrier?

Carriers who meet the top carrier eligibility requirements will receive payments within 2 business days of valid POD upload. Top carrier status is evaluated on a quarterly basis.

A performance snapshot will be taken once each quarter, as listed below. If your carrier’s score meets the criteria listed below at the time of the quarterly snapshot, your carrier will receive top carrier status, including payments within 2 business days of valid POD upload, for the following quarter.

A carrier must meet the following criteria to qualify as a top carrier:

  • 95% or higher on time percentage
  • 85% or higher tracking updates from an automated source
  • 5% or lower cancellation rate
  • Book at least 15 loads per quarter through app, web, EDI, or API

The quarterly performance snapshot days will be:

  • December 29th for quarter period 1 (January through March)
  • March 30th for quarter period 2 (April through June)
  • June 29th for quarter period 3 (July through September)
  • September 29th for quarter period 4 (October through December)

Where can I view my performance score?

You can view your carrier’s performance score or generate a performance report directly from the scorecard in the app or web portal. We’ll email you a breakdown of your carrier’s performance scores.

If I no longer qualify as a top carrier at the next quarterly snapshot, what will my payment speed change to?

For carriers that lose top carrier status, the payment speed will default back to the previously selected payout speed: either the standard 30-day payment speed, or payment within 2 business days of valid POD upload for a fee of 2% of the payment amount. Carriers can select their preferred payment speed during onboarding and change their preferred payment speed at any time in the Carrier tab in the app or web portal.

Faster Payment for a Fee

What are 2-day payments for a fee?

Each load will be paid out at the payment speed selected in a carrier’s profile at the time of the load was booked. Carriers cannot change their payment speed selection for loads that have already been booked.
