Former TQL employee: ask away

Never heard of it but anything is possible.

 

Same, honestly. Only way we could maybe know is if OP or another TQL type came 'round. Not sure if OP is still swinging around here to answer @MyTireHurt's questions, as it stands.

I'd be curious to hear, though!

 

So how do we get hooked up with kroger loads power only out of tolleson Arizona

 

I can see that happening... if you yourself personally were shipping a product to a lengthy destination, ofcourse you'd be looking for the cheapest rate. Anyone in their right mind would.

..but after being in this business for over 23 years, on the dock loading & unloading trailers, being a city driver and an over the road driver......that's where service comes into play with reputation.

Sure, you might get a cheaper rate from other companies but what about their service? the Overage, shortage & Damage (OS&D).

As an OTR owner operator trucker, I value my customers freight since they pay a little higher. they get multiple load locks from me, careful corner terning, and I always arrive early.
I will even have the shipper downstack pallets if I cant secure them. use dunnage to protect the tops of pallets and air bags if they got them..

Me personally, I'd rather pay a little more for security of the freight and to keep it on one truck

 

EXACTLY! I love trucking, I take care of my freight...my service and work ethic have high standards

 

Drivers who take pride in what they do actually care about how the freight is delivered deserve more money. I keep tabs on the ones that do and dont.

Thank you for that! There are many drivers who don't care and will sit in their truck while its being unloaded and let the receivers re-stack and recoup there fallen skids.

I always carry extra shrink wrap, twine or rope

I understand seals are necessary for shipments so no one messes with them as far as stealing or contamination of food products...but over a 2700 mile drive, load locks do come loose and fall off from the vibration or wiggling of the trailer and cause the freight to shift...

I find it necessary to check and inspect the freight load locks in trans...but a seal always prevents that

 

So much tql hate, but why? I've never had an issue with them?
