    Do you have to give up a % to a carrier or are you IOO?

    From her perspective she thought she had a good rate. The problem is that you have many costs that she really could care less about. One is you have no guarantee you will get a rate that is even close to hers (coming out of DE). How many loads will be offered out of DE area that will be way below her 2.18 PM. Most......

    Not sure about all of them, but from what I have seen out here on the road, I think they come from Russia or somewhere in Europe.

    When I post my truck in comments I clearly says that no tql I don't like them because they post dummy loads which I don't like
    Once you book a load they will cancel that load if they find a cheaper carrier
    Did one load for them at 11 pm some one call me about a load that was going only 90 miles 2 stops
    I asked him how much he was like its 90 miles 4 buck a mile 380 I told him you know what go get a Cdl over night buy truck
    And haul that 4 buck a mile load for your self
    Asked how much I want my answer was 1500 to get rid of him but he had no choice other then paying 1500
    That was my only one load

    Been independent since 2003. Never hauled a load for TQL because they can't get anywhere near a rate I'm looking for, they are a joke in my book.

    Years ago they would call all day long and I'd have to tell them no over and over again. Finally I would recognize the number and not answer, then I got smart and learned how to set my phone to auto-reject there phone# and all is good now.
