    Couldn't take seeing that 2600 number popup anymore and had to block them. Getting three or four calls a day from these guys. You guys know who I'm talking about if you work the load boards.

    I had a chain email from them for some reason I was included in. They sent an large chain email looking for capacity to other brokers/carriers....

    The other brokers responded and done nothing but clown them! LOL

    Its one thing when us small carriers/drivers do it, its another when you have a long chain email with other brokers making fun of them.

    I had them blocked for a while too. Too many calls with crap coupled with lots of bad attitude. I also canceled a run with them because they were check calling me a day before I was even scheduled to pick. I unblock them yesterday and they're back to normal now. Hopefully it stays that way because I always get a good rate with them (and my AP in writing) contrary to the popular consensus around TTR.

    Work directly off a few brokers loadboards so far so don't get phone calls from random brokers.

    Do get emails though, I just mark them as spam since they are always for loads out if the northeast where my home/company address is but I only visit the northeast to visit my mother a few times a year (it's her address since I basically live in my truck).

    Have had TQL blocked for years since I got my authority literally. Not set up with them, nor CH. I am set up with some bigger carriers, all have treated me well and never hassle me. Sometimes I hate doing it, if the rate is solid and the agent is nice I’m going to haul it.
