blairandgretchen and PPDCT Thank this. -
You are absolutely correct with TQL. They are the cheapest guys on the board. When I call them (only at the last minute) I go for loads that are shipping today and give them my rate. If they don't take it I say Thanks Anyway and leave my number in case they can't get it covered. When my phone rings with the TQL guy I know I've got him over a barrel. The best deal yet was $1,700 for two skids going from upstate NY to Long Island. -
TQL can pay just as good as any other broker. Coyote, who I consider cheaper than TQL, gave me the best rate ever; $4500 for Chicago to Florence, SC...try to convince them to pay that now.
What distinguishes TQL from the rest is their alleged mischievous tactics that were reported here many times. However, I'd be dishonest, if I said that I was ever treated harm ways by them. I have to admit though, whenever I deal with them, I am super fastidious about anything said and decided. I gotta connect with the person I talk to, grow some confidence and be sure that that guy has integrity. Often, when I hear a teenager voice calling me a bro or a dude, I end it right there... No loose ends.DUNE-T, blairandgretchen, SL3406 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Thats $5 per mile on a lane EVERYBODY wants (No tolls,Good return hauls etc)
Thats a $1500 move today.D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
It had nothing to do with me having some bargaining skills...I think they posted that load for 4K before I called on it. lol.D.Tibbitt, SL3406, PPDCT and 1 other person Thank this. -
Wow.
My best load ever was $5k, but that was Montana to Orlando. But.....it was 10' of space and about 2k so I'm still smiling about it.
