Uber Freight has announced two additions to its suite of personalized load-matching features aimed at improving the user experience.
A new Post My Truck feature allows drivers to plan ahead based on when their truck is expected to have available capacity for loads. In addition, a new Reloads feature will offer loads near a drop-off location.

Through the My Loads tab, Post My Truck lets app users input when and where their truck will be empty and whether they prefer local, short, or long-haul freight. The Uber Freight app will preview a list of available loads that match their criteria and send push notifications to the driver as additional loads are made available.
With Reloads, when carriers and drivers go to book a load through the app, Uber Freight offers a list of backhauls and reloads – loads picking up near their drop-off location – that they can choose to book next.
Both the Post My Truck and Reloads feature will be made available in the coming weeks for both Android and iOS users of the Uber Freight app.
