    His truck most likely doesn’t have 4 way locks on it .. he spun out rather easy.

    Man, a couple days ago I commented on a YouTube video about transparency and the whole TQL thing that’s never been proven and I am not popular. Lol. They all think I’m a broker because I suggested they keep their eye on their own checkbook and not worry about anyone else’s.

    I have to agree with you. I’ve always been amazed when someone thinks they need to know how much someone else is making doing something they don’t do.

    Does the plumber know the exact amount of profit a general contractor is making on a newly built home? Are they entitled to more of that profit because the GC knows what they are doing and have learned how to turn a good profit and must pass that onto the plumber?

    Do people ask the Walmart cashier how much they are making on a bag of Fritos?

    If the pay isn’t what you need or want to do the job move on.

    TQL is exactly who people say they are in my experience… either work with them or not. If they are all someone has to work with then that is the problem. For me they were a last resort type of company.

    I don’t GAF what there rate is to there customer? I don’t haul a lot with them but, maybe 4 of my 10 best paying loads ever, have come from them TQL. Oh and I trust them (right or wrong) to pay me. Some of these brokers on the board today are down right scary to give credit to…

    I’ve done a few Tql loads this year, usually when I cover something out of my normal area, pretty much my same thought, if it’s profitable to the truck i know I’ll get paid, can’t always be said about some of the fly by night places

    That’s everyday in the oil patch during winter time.A lot worse than that sometimes.In the spring when it thaws chains are needed as well to get in and out of pads.
