I am a Freight Broker at TQL - looking for conversation and dialogue

Nevermind...

Those attachments won't open. Try posting from "reply to thread" instead of "quick reply".

 

Why can they not just do it like everyone else and send a rate confirm with all relevant pickup/delivery info to the carrier and bam, it's done. Why the need to add an extra unnecessary step in and use it as a neat way to mess over the in-experienced and waste time of those who know the game? CHR doesn't even require the carrier to sign the confirmation and send it back.

 

I tried that but there was a big ? mark and it didn't want to upload them. I'm not even real sure its a good idea for me to even post them up, being that TQL might try to in some way try to burn me over them. I mean it is what it is.

Like TQL sent me a bill for $150 because the shipment was an hour late, but the confirmation saying NOTHING about appointment times or late charges.
On top of that, the following shipment that I was to pick up for TQL got canceled just as I pulled into the shippers parking lot the same day, No I did not get paid for TONU. And to top it all off I then was left searching for a load and called TQL after the canceled shipment, guess what.
The shipment wasn't even in the same state, 50 miles down the road in North Carolina but was posted in Virginia. The rep said I can pay you to deadhead. I was in a major city and I replied well I'm looking for something around here. I knew I could get something out of the area I was in without having to go 50 miles into another state. The rep said to me on the phone from TQL "good luck on finding a load then if you can't deadhead 50 miles." and then hung up on me.

 

Don't worry about it not a big deal. Yeah there could be problems stem from or even legal ramifications posting something like that up publicly.

You ever read the fine print on emails from the likes of TQL and CHR?

 

It does work. I've seen it. It's in the instructions also and your preferences that say what notifications you want. As a carrier you can shut off that feature so brokers can't see if you click on a load. So, think about that for a FEW minutes.

 

6wheeler- 50 miles is nothing to deadhead for a load. A good one that is. I often DH 2 or 3 times that. I would much rather DH 100 miles for a load paying 2.50 a mile than stay put for one of the many low balling loads for a 1.40. In fact I'm doing just that tomorrow after I drop this 2.20 a mile load I hauled 686 miles and DHing for one paying 2.60 for 718 miles. Do the math. That's 4 days and I'll be loading another before that 4th day is done.
If you tie yourself to the town you drop to get another load you might very well be killing yourself.
