    TQL I think is like Landstar, they have a ton of agents and offices and very rarely do you ever deal with the same agent twice. For me, the only major screwed up loads I've had have been with TQL. I think it's been a couple months now since I've pulled anything for them. CH Robinson and coyote have been keeping me and my other driver very busy, though we deal with one broker only at each company. Those two brokers are always blowing up my phone to offer me or my other oo a load.

    Used to be CH Robinson was the broker to avoid unless absolutely desperate to move a truck. They're name was synonymous for cheap, heavy, pia loads.

    Not a stupid question at all. Some places use soap but most use high pressure and hot water. Why do you think it's so steamy when they was the trailer out? It's not spray you are seeing hanging in the air.

    Their reputation has plummeted like a rock over the past few months. They are my last ditch broker I go to if my regular brokers don't have anything for me and I can't find anything on the load boards and there was a meteor strike to wiped out everything but them ;)
     
    drvrtech77 Thanks this.

    I use TQL for 53% of my loads. I usually run a very specific lane and there has been no BS with them. I don't know why they have to lie. We're going to know the truth very soon.

    I won't use TQL simply because they can't be honest about were the load picks and delivers. If I call on a load that is posted to pick in Milwaukee, WI and deliver in Minneapolis, but it really picks in Green Bay and delivers in Duluth, you've wasted my time. It's pure BS and I won't tolerate those kind of games.
     
    PoleCrusher, drvrtech77 and spyder7723 Thank this.

    Yep, through OOIDA. They have a small list of brokers they don't do business with, and mostly it seems for good reason. Biggest one on that list is Landstar, but that is a agent by agent basis. I've had a few landstar agents already willing to use me, but their rates weren't where I wanted to be.
