Well, not to be an evil advocate, so..
May be, JUST may be, it was a trip from one side of HWY 50 to another, which is a borderline beetween two cities, eh..
good point, but unfortunately we don't have those fancy self driving trucks that run on air...yet lol
For comparison, a shipper pays us $250 bucks to go 8 miles but takes about 3.5 hours to complete (loading/unloading)
Ouufff.
You aren't out of touch... the person asking for this to covered for $100 all in is absolutely off their rocker for a 1 off on-demand rate imo!
Our tariff is $110.25 + FSC for ltl sameday in a straight on this lane... $100 all-in would be too low for our crew.
Only way that rate would happen with us is a daily scheduled load, same time every day, on a 1 year commitment.
haha true... or if it was reversed it could be Heritage Road to Sobeys in Vaughan....
Good to know my sanity is in check LOL
BUT ALAS TQL strikes again:
Posted the Load as TORONTO, ON TO TORONTO, ON - call in to be told its actually Newmarket, ON to North york, ON - RATE: a whopping $150 bucks...
Then they posted another load Vaughan, ON to Toronto, ON.....guess what its the same load. Asked them if they knew Newmarket, On is its own city and the response: "we post it like this so we get more calls"

When your time is better spent collecting bottles for recycling you know the load isn't worth it.
Posting BS pick up or drop off locations on Loadlink or anywhere is always done. I have had people post Montreal and say oh sorry a town 5 minutes outside of Quebec City
I can understand this for a pick up somewhere not well known or not high traffic, but for NEWMARKET really? I also don't expect much from TQL, but this was a good laugh to start off the Friday morning LOL

they post Winnipeg and really mean Fargo, ND - so many times I don't bother anymore

What a time waster to call and only find out they lied / concealed the location to make it more attractive. Brutal how someone people think nothing of wasting someones time.
And that is exactly why our team here doesn't accept loads from the boards, aside from the getting paid in less than 30 days issue. I'm surprised TQL even posts inter-Ontario loads let alone inter-Canada loads, I doubt the rep even knows that most of M1V 0G5 is a Mall or Retail Delivery.... Tailgate required more than likely.
We'd rather conserve our assets to move freight that is properly identified with proper addresses etc for the reputable members on this board who need assistance.

1) Springfield, OH

3) CANADA
Sigh..

I was once asked by a US customer if we could send them a Canadian phone book for their office!

Canada do you know my buddy Bob he is from Canada. Americans nice folks but....

We often run the Canada lane, hit us up

Haha.. not sure where to in Canada, and I'm almost afraid to ask. Last time I worked for these guys they had a BOL delivery to door 50, "Newfinland".. As they say.. garbage in.. and garbage out.

Really the last thing you need in this industry is any geographical knowledge or anything like that.
