Stepping Out With My Own Numbers

I haul for TQL and Coyote once or twice a week between the two. Otherwise I stick to one of 3 of my regular brokers. Between these 3 I make my money and use TQL and Coyote the most as a reposition to get me into an area one of my three regulars serves. By the end of a month I haul for 5 or 6 brokerages. I load with the same people a lot.

 

Had pretty good luck with TQL? I pull a flatbed and am just now getting my authority. I have gone back and forth on getting my own numbers. Sometimes the load boards have some great looking loads in my area, and other times, I wonder what in the heck I was thinking to try this. My daughter is just now getting her broker's license so I am hoping that will help some.

 

That's just wrong.... Getting screwed by your own daughter....lol
(Relax, just a broker joke)

 

Lol. Man don't skeeer me like this.

 

I haven’t had any issues. I wish they worked more like Coyote where you have a dedicated rep you deal with on all issues. At TQL you’ll talk to several different people from the time you book it until you deliver. As a result, there is some miscommunication and wasted time. It still works though. I prefer Coyote, CHRob, Allen Lund, or Choptank over TQL because of the way they communicate internally.

 

Why would she need a brokers license?

 

I

She's wanting to start a small firm to handle some local freight for me and a few others in the near future. A friend of mine from high school has a growing company and she will move his freight for him. Starting small but a lot of potential if she works hard.

 

I have the driver dispatched on his first run. Northwest AR to NJ. Big money run to start him off, picks tomorrow afternoon and delivers first thing Saturday.

 

What's the big money number?

 

$13.
