    That can't be good?

    I don't care if they're A+ with a 1 day to pay rating, I'm not hauling for them. Their number is blocked on my phone.

    Their credit rating isn't the the reason you shouldn't ever call on a TQL load..

    The fact that they constantly hound you on when you'll be loaded, when your gonna be at your drop. Cheap ### rates, I can go on...

    I have used them a few times. We have a run that is close to the house that requires a conistoga and they call us if they can't get it moved. There best feature is the always pay promptly.

    I was more concerned with what this means about the big picture? This is one if not the largest brokers is it not? A $75k bond would be gone before 10am in one day I would think?

    I had a broker not pay for a $2500 load in December with an A credit rating. I have filed on there bond. They and the shipper do not answer there phones. If the bond doesent clear things up I will try the receivers.

    If TQL doesent pay there bills that would clear out a lot of carriers in short order.

    I don't do broker loads so I've never dealt with them.

    We do also ship a lot of stuff that we farm out to other companies. Somehow, this TQL rep got my email and phone number. He's been worrying me to death wanting me to send him some loads. I pretty much told him on the phone "don't call us, we will call you" but he still sends me emails that go directly to the trash.

    They got better couple of years ago, but since last year they went back to their old shenanigans of absurdly cheap rates and spamming the loadboard with nonexistent loads. Haven't pulled a load for them in over a year.

    C rating. What does that practically mean? Too much debt?
