Aren't they just throwing a lot of different things at the wall, to see what (which ones) stick? While, yes, I do have a problem with Uber's attitude, and also I'm generally more charmed by doing one thing and doing it right, I can totally see how this as a general approach might make sense (to them). I worked for XPO, then Con-way, and they have/had a business unit (Menlo) doing pretty much this: matching up carriers and shippers, using unused space, or throwing business at vehicles that would otherwise be skipping a turn. From first-hand experience, I can say that that general business could certainly use a shake-up, and that Uber stands to benefit from doing so. (Still, not liking them...)
