History Series / ShippingWars

* {{Auction}}: Inverted. In each episode, the shippers upon seeing what the shipments contain, bid on how much money they will charge to do the job. The winner is (usually) the person with the lowest bid, though at times some of the shippers will bid the same price; in these cases, the bid from the one with the higher customer feedback rating takes priority. The shippers have to be careful not to bid so low that there is no profit to be made for the job.

* In another episode, Jenn attempts to screw over Marc by constantly underbidding for an extremely heavy load. The last time she does it, she drops it by a lot and this causes not only Marc to bail out, but Dusty, Samko, and Todd and Tamera as well. Needless to say, Jenn got way too cocky and paid for it due to the difficulty of the load she had to deal with for little money.

* ProductDeliveryOrdeal: This RealityShow revolves around this kind of situation, with the protagonists being several couriers who have to deal with absurd issues like life-sized (and very fragile) [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Buzz Lightyear]] figures, carnival rides, and Formula-One race cars, that are very hard to fit in the transport trucks, with very little time to deliver, and occasionally underbidding on the contract so much so they would be hired that they are forced to do additional jobs along the way that cause their own type of mayhem.

* [[MyCarHatesMe My Van Hates Me]]: Seems like Jarrett's van always breaks down on the job.

** Roy wins a bid to transport a locked strongbox to a mystery location. The client won't reveal its contents, even after Roy threatens to walk away unless he gets full disclosure. He only agrees to the job once the client offers to double his fee to $15,000. [[spoiler:At the end of the ''extremely'' aggravating run, he finds out that this was all part of a training exercise for a private military contracting firm. He is ''not'' happy about it. To add an extra layer of [[HarsherInHindsight uncomfortable]], at the end of the episode they joke about giving Roy a heart attack. A few days after the episode aired, Roy actually did pass away from a heart attack.]]

** In one episode, Roy [[ForTheEvulz bids down an item despite having won the previous one, then backs out at the last second.]] Chris and Robbie win, but an enraged Chris calls Roy and gives him an earful. He then makes a bet with Roy: If he can deliver ''his'' item on time without damage ''and'' get a higher seller rating than Chris, Chris will give him the entirety of his pay for his delivery. Later on, Roy adds that the loser must wrap their truck with a giant message saying that the winner is the better transporter. Chris ends up being BlindedByRage and having several difficulties with customers, but still manages to get on time with a 4-star rating. Immediately afterward, he brags that "there's no way Roy could beat that." Unfortunately for him, Roy fulfills his end of the bet, delivering it flawlessly in the nick of time and getting a [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale higher than possible rating of 5.5 stars.]] As a result, Roy gets a big bonus, whileChris and Robbie end up losing all of the money they worked so hard for (they had to deal with some very difficult customers, which was worsened by the competitive, ill-tempered Chris). [[SoreLoser Chris]] is obviously very pissed off by this, as seen when he meets Roy to "pay the piper." [[NeverMyFault He never admits, or even thinks to admit that]] [[BullyingADragon he kinda deserved it.]]
