Hahaaa... That's funny, we do the same thing here... And I was just asked to block their number.

Just to stir the pot... with just over 4 Billion in revenue... seems to me like a lot of people are taking their calls.
Perhaps it's to re-position equipment - Maybe... but that's a helluva lot of freight no matter how you break it down,

Yep but still douche canoes in most folks books. We will do loads for them if they pay so usually 1 a year.
Carriers that do not have 365 days of operating authority have to deal with brokerages that are amiable to new companies.
Some perspective...
It's $4 billion out of approx. $732.3 billion of overall trucking revenue. That's 0.5%.
It is still a lot, but we are talking the bottom of the barrel here. It's unavoidable in any industry to have some truly bad apples. Just avoid them like a plague and you will be fine.

These guys won't stop calling us for freight. I said stop calling and they want to know name and title to put us on do not call list. I've blocked their number from our system.
if its not on the confirmation you will never get it, don't waste your time calling them.......they don't honor their word. If its not on the original confirmation, you will never get a penny extra.

I found the TQL dashboard with their load postings & I can not believe that people take these loads.
-no detention before 6 hours
-FCFS
-no additional $ for extra weight
-fines for late paperwork
-no TONU unless truck is already on site for loading.
These are just a few of the comments I saw on their loads. Do companies actually agree to these terms?

You can call carrier support and advise your own detention settings.
You can also bid triple the rate and there's a chance you can get it.

also that they can repower your load for ANY reason and bill you for the repower - that one is scary
when we were new and stupid we beleived the broker that these won't apply ... since then occasionally we will pick a load - directly from a borker we have worked with before usually west based that actually do not follow this .... we have received detention / TONU no issues ... but have to be careful which broker
or you could just use better brokers... you shouldn't have to negotiate better terms than six hours... or have to triple the bid to make it worth your while.
out of the crazy amount of people they got working over there, we'ev only had good success with 1 person and thats pretty much the only load we do for TQL if it comes up, its not consistent but pays about $6/mile for a DV. Dont let that RPM excite you its a short local run and it comes with some BS (match seals, check product batch numbers etc etc). but its not bad filler freight when our guys are zipping around town and in between pick ups. THAT BEING SAID, out of all of the other interactions I have had with TQL, they are the scourge of the earth. I can confidently say, we'ev had to eat around 2 to 3K in DET, TONU's, Layovers etc over the years of working with them. Now a days its fun when they call us for some load they have in mexico or some corner of the states and desperately need a truck to cover it.... I always have the equipment and the driver with the hours to do it before the line goes "click". Its my small piece of heaven on earth.
