Does UA bump non revs for cargo (Sao Paulo)

Tired of getting bumped to and from GRU on DL for cargo and willing to two leg it on UA for this trip. Any idea if UA leaves huge chunks of their non revs behind for cargo? Looking at doing IAD-GRU.

Thanks.

It's the new reality. Maximize revenue. Cargo pays the bills.

I heard that United publishes the number of seats held for cargo somewhere when listing for a flight. Is this true as well? Didn't see it.
