    No it’s not. If that’s all that comes out get paid a round trip and let the junk sit. You’ll be money ahead. Because while you’re dicking around I will be back loading my next round trip

    The driver you’re talking about needs to go drive for someone else. HE is the problem not tql

    Oh never mind him. He's leased on but finds his own backhuals.
    That's not the point.
    I was expecting to find suprise and maybe some indignation of seeing TQL profiting like that, on the back of already overstrained carriers, and nowhere else but in the thread entitled accordingly. Instead, I see it resonated not quite as expected. If you guys here are all right seeing the likes of TQLs screwing owner operators, well I think I entered the wrong whiskey bar. Lol.

    In total transparency. I despise TQL and refuse to work with them. They are known liars and cheats.

    Isn't anything on the Landline Mag site and the OOIDA.com site doesn't have trucking news, only member services.
    And I don't think you have to be a member to view the Landline Mag page.

    Food for thought
    I met Ukraines finest at a shipper today
    He got $1250 Hartford CT to Peoria IL from the broker
    I walked inside and busted the shipping managers balls that my kids don’t get to eat lobster rolls for him giving away the work to brokers
    He said the broker charged $2,000 for that load
    He said he charged the end user $5,800 for freight



    Lot of people that drive trucks don’t know much about business
    Lot of online courses available for all those folks that aren’t learning from life.

    clearly the people that run the freight don’t understand it either….once the carrier market corrects the broker market will be next this cycle.

    no it’s not, by the time you waste a day going where ever, loading, doing the actual driving, and unloading, I’ll be reloaded ready to head back with a good load, it’s his own fault for hauling it

    Thanks, interesting though. Certainly don't think he was the type to just spew BS. Older really nice guy.

    I've searched online and haven't found anything....

    Seems to be lots of recent driver reviews for them pretty much all not to good compared to older reviews...

    Guess we'll wait and see...
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.
