You obviously are just making up stuff or you are incredibly ignorant.What you just admitted doing is called back soliciting which TQL when you sign the carrier broker agreement signed saying you would not do.So now TQLhas cause for litigation against your company for a percentage of all revenue generated you get from there customer.Which you referred to as your customer they weren’t your customer TQL payed you so TQL was your customer not the receiver.In case you didn’t know the person who pays you is your customer
I am a Freight Broker at TQL - looking for conversation and dialogue

2nd, No I'm not making anything up simply explaining what occurred unless your simple and it's going over your head. It was a completely different broker so don't assume. And yes, the customer ask me a question so I answered him. He wanted to know how much I was paid so I told him. Plus cash in hand is difficult to prove. How is that so difficult to understand? Regardless, even though the customer called me a couple weeks ago I couldn't facilitate their request because they needed a truck on the west coast to haul a Flatbed load and I'm currently working with a Dry van. No solicitation occurred on my end, I never asked to haul anyones load. I got enough work right now so for me I'm good. -
Or are freight brokers generally considered sacred cows in this regard?NorthEastTrucker Thanks this. -

It happened to me a few times over the years. Had customers go direct with a carrier for one reason or another. Back solicitation clauses are hard enough to enforce- they're harder still when the paper trail shows said customer reaching out to the carrier instead of vice versa. -
Problem with that is it's intentionally knee capping the carrier and preventing him from picking up new work.
I've never agreed to such a thing and I always ask who exactly the broker's customer is because it's often not the shipper like so many seem to think.
Those types of brokers are probably banking on the fact that many carriers don't even read what they're signing. -
NorthEastTrucker and PPLC Thank this.
