    Driver here, 10 years and I need to just say that TQL in this last year has produced several things.
    Out of around 30 loads I only received 1 ####### from Chicago.

    Otherwise I've had nothing but positive load brokers and just over all good people, especially out of Texas and Florida.

    TQL Total Quality Logistics.

    I have recently been awarded a golden status by J.B Hunt which earned me a free subscription to XM/Sirius satellite radio and free quick pays, also 7 day guaranteed pays for loads that are not eligible for the free quick pays .
    I also was thanked by UBER Freight for outstanding service. I'd like to thank back to JB Hunt for the award and Uber Freight for the kind words.
    OK

    I would look at the Broker Watch List and avoid any brokers listed there, or at the same addresses. Also, I always google the address of a broker and verify that and the phone number with the FMCSA/Safersys listings. Some resources, rateafreightbroker.com, freight-broker.com and brokerwatchlist.com

    Also, FMCSA Licensing and Insurance Web Site and SAFER Web - Company Snapshot you should double check numbers and addresses before you move anything.

    I've submitted complaints for 5 different brokerages for double brokering my loads and i don't think anything has been done about any of it. I have recorded phone calls, text messages, emails, rate cons, BOLs and o mountain of other evidence all they would need to do is review it and look into their own records. Not sure if anything has come of it. DAT was more helpful sadly.

    You do know double brokering isn't illegal or fraud don't you? Yes it can be used as such, but the simple fact it's double brokered means nothing legally.

    Im not sure your right about it not being illegal. Pretty sure it is in most places... if you call me acting like a carrier (giving me a carrier MC#) and then post my load up to a board (using a broker MC#), that is illegal and you are committing fraud. AT THE VERY LEAST IT IS UNETHICAL AND DECEPTIVE BUSINESS and only a low life scoundrel would do that.... CALL A REAL CUSTOMER AND GET THIER FREIGHT.

    If you have a broker to broker agreement things are different but were not talking about that.

    In in all my replies on here i am referring to the scummy scumbags that calls me (mostly with 818 area codes) to get the details, and then i see high Street Logistics with my load posted. That IS total BS and any carrier taking that load is most definitely getting the short end of the stick. It also puts me in a tough spot with the customer when my double brokered load goes missing because some ### hat at All State gave it to the first number that called in and they took it on a cross country tour, or started selling the t-shirts out the back of the trailer at a swap meet.
