Had a good talk with a guy that is the sales manager/broker for a 200 truck fleet here in Oregon. I've been running some loads for him lately, he always treats me fairly.
We were just talking turkey about business and such. He said that he tries to operate with a 10% to 12% mark-up on his direct freight. Lately, he said conglomerates like TQL, CH Robbers, etc. have undercut him.
TQL took a customer of his that he has been servicing in the western United States for 6 years. Thousands of loads over the years for the customer, then the mfer's (TQL) had the gall to call him and ask if could help them move some of the loads because they were having difficulty moving them at their contracted rates.
What's that tell you not only about TQL but the shipper? No freaking loyalty...none.spyder7723, mp4694330, clausland and 2 others Thank this. -

I’ve had carriers back solicit my customers and steal them, really pisses a guy off. Most of the times it’s the 50 or so truck carriers. Eventually most times we get them back when the carrier fails to live up to their word. I want to tel the customer to get lost but can’t pass up the business. My one customer always lets me know when they get back solicited so we can blacklist the carrier. -
Do your loyalties lie with Pilot or TA??

Made it home by 4 p.m.
Hot shower, cold Corona with lime, feet up in my nice leather recliner watching a little television, nice home cooked meal by my wife in a few, followed by a great night's sleep in my own bed (with her) covered by Mike Lindell's sheets made from the best grown cotton in the world in Giza!
That's where my loyalty lies, I wouldn't sell her or my life down the road for a hundred buckslynchy, spyder7723, mp4694330 and 2 others Thank this. -
