    If they trick drivers, why not trick their own employees right?

    Just because he made that one week is not saying he made that weekly.

    They definitely do BUT, y’all are taking what I said out of context. I said he made that “one week”, not every week.
     
    Rightlane76, bzinger, p608 and 4 others Thank this.

    That's almost what a good owner operator can make! :D

    I am pretty sure they were just trying to motivate you guys. I believe that they told you this but I don't believe that it's true. Which means, it's pretty much like everything else anyone from TQL tells me.
     
    650cat425 Thanks this.

    Gotcha, that makes sense. I'm a numbers guy and was just trying to make sense of the numbers.
     
    650cat425 and JosiahS Thank this.

    Can a noob, and worse yet a honest noob get into brokering freight and make $100k+ within a few years?
    Where do you start with absolutely no experience?
     
    650cat425 Thanks this.

    I can’t speak for anywhere but at TQL, and it would take more luck than anything for that to happen there. I knew of people who did just happen to get lucky and got to that point within a few years but it’s extremely rare there.
     
    650cat425 Thanks this.

    Yes, you can. I know of a few.

    As far as where to start: I've said it before- the thing is to find a good, small brokerage out there and learn on their dime.
     
    God prefers Diesels and 650cat425 Thank this.

    Thanks for taking the time to share your story. Most of us who have been around for a while, know that TQL are scumbags! But you are also making it clear what many of us have been saying for years.... That the 10% brokers claim to only take is a load of BS!
