    Nice true blue!

    What gets me with TQL (and sometimes, but not as often with other large brokerages) is their posting the same load using various different origins and destinations... Or the notorious bait and switch, "oh THAT load got covered, but I have this one"... Sigh

    You're right, Lady K. TQL is notorious for that, and a couple of other brokers. They're the ones I've stopped calling on their loads. Since they don't have the decency to post it as it really is, they tick me off when I waste my cell phone batteries on their stupid post. Or, if I'm home, it's still a waste of time. I boycotted them, unless I'm stuck in an area and have to make the call. If it's still a fishing post, then I just hang up on them.

    jusg book a load with TQL to cancel on it 30 mins before pick up. Who seriously cares about them? I don't. And I find joy to give them the worst services and so on. No matter how many times I block them or they black liste they call somehow. From now on I book every load and never show up for any. #### them!!!

    I'd thought about starting up my own company however when i see the issues that O/O have with brokers i think i'd rather just drive for someone else and let them handle the stress of finding loads and collecting money. The issue about trucks being available or loads could be resolved if you used the system the taxi industry uses, a cab will log into a suburb or city which shows its available once it gets a job it gets logged out so only available vehicles are listed. No time wasted calling booked vehicles, jobs are offered to available cabs and they can except or reject the job, it goes down the rank until someone accepts the job, can't see why this system wouldn't work with shipping and brokers for load allocation.
