Be VERY careful with Uship. I used to be a freight broker - MC 595589 if you want to check it out. With Uship, you are acting as your own broker without knowing how (usually). The most common scam is for someone to pick up your stuff. Then, from another state, call you saying it will cost you another $xxx to have your stuff delivered. By law, when it's on his truck, it belongs to him legally. Either you just GAVE it to him or he signed for it with a Bill of Lading. Either way, it's his till it's unloaded and the Receiver signs for it. Most of the transporter are honest and just want to get the stuff delivered and get paid. But it only takes the ONE that picked up your stuff.
Usually freight is figured by the mile, not the pound. Perhaps a combination of the two, but then the weight would be a surcharge.
CMHN gave good advice.
