Former TQL employee: ask away

Thank you for coming on here and telling how it is !
I haul very little 3pl freight but have always wondered how dirty the biz is .

 

So Op are you in the witness protection program now ? Lol.

 

Well thanks again and looking forward to more of your insights.

 

I work with every broker out there and the only broker's number blocked in my phone is TQL's.
I used to haul a lot of their loads too, but I got tired of talking to rude young kids and always being paranoid about getting screwed up.

Book a load, find out you are getting screwed by the broker who told you lies about the load, tell him to take it back, get marked in the system as fall out.
Can't win.

Just last week my buddy booked a load, broker sends a confirmation with a pick up city 80 miles away vs the original one, gets mad at my buddy for asking for more money and yells threatening to blacklist him.

Another one books a live load, ends up being a two days drop, broker stops answering the phone.

Another one books a PA-MI load with 3pm appointment to go home. Guy gets there and shipper says they ordered a 48' van instead of 53'. They are also FCFS and close at 4pm.
The load board is empty, there is nothing else to take and he spends 45 min getting in the dock at 90 degree angle. Broker does not answer the phone till Monday.

Not working with TQL reduces everyday's stress significantly.

 

I don't think iv heard a driver with their own numbers being stupid enough to pull for tql, or chr. Thankfully people like you come out and show some insight. The drivers dumb enough either have yet to experience them , or are getting ramped up for bankruptcy.

 

I made a lot of money with TQL and CHR in 2018. I was new and they were the first brokers I set up with and they fed me great loads when the market was great. I honestly have to give both a little credit there.

Do I still work with either of them? Nope. Do I recommend anyone else does? Nope.
