TQL is crap to work for/with. Talk to an attorney. If you drive through Cincinnati (where TQL is headquartered), you'll see a sign for "TQL STADIUM." You can't have money to have a stadium in your businesses name (in this case) without ripping off many, many, many carriers. Think about it before you book with TQL. Brokers are not needed in the trucking world. All they do is steal money from carriers.
Oh and believe me they laugh that truckers are dumb. But they use a worse word. I had an aquaintance is a broker
If they will do it to a Military Veteran they will do it to anyone! Also if you ever do decide to haul for TQL get paid on your load hauled before taking more loads from them whether it’s through them getting quick pay or getting it factored through third party it’s a small percentage fee, but it ensures you got your money, I had been hauling with them for several years on and off then started hauling for basically only them for about 7 months or more had about $37,000. In invoices not paid yet and they call me on a load that was hauled months ago and say that a lot of the food product had gone bad and that they weren’t going to pay the invoices due to that, I was a new owner operator at the time just getting out of the Military and then my new reman transmission that I just bought from weller transmission in Michigan several gears went out with only like 21,000 miles on the trans and that broke me and put me out of the game, if you don’t have to haul for them don’t, and if you do also make sure the you get the fuel surcharge up front they will try not to give it but if they really want you to haul the load they will, and double check everything including dentition is correct on the rate con, they are really scum bags though and I didn’t know enough at the time or I would have done more to try getting my invoices paid.
I rhink i passed by the exit for that stadium, it's a soccer stadium off I-75 right?
They just took over a couple of accounts we once used, slashed the rates by nearly half. I hope the shipper loses their shirt.
Had 8 o/o at my company take loads and not deliver until we got paid. Tql is b.s.
Why would you even haul a load from GA to MN for $ 1700 that,s a bigger question ?
😂😂
Because if he didn't someone else will! And tql is betting on those "someone else's" to come along
Thought it was me Omgee….. Chicago 2 ga is 800 plus mines so what exact miles for mn 1300? Wow he ran under 1.25
Maybe he just wanted to get home
@@mydannyboy68That's a huge problem as an owner operator. Not worth the headache😮
I moved my trucking company out of Cali 🖕
Nobody cares hmo😊
I’m moving to Nevada bro bro.
Cali is that hot chick in high school that everyone was crazy for, but she didn’t cook or clean and expect to marry a millionaire😂😂😂
@@IRO_SportsOfficial that's where I moved my brokerage and my trucking corporations
Freightvana out of Phoenix is shady as can be. They got someone deleting only the worst google reviews
Become a millionaire
Easy
Stop working with TQL
They are cheap anyway
Say no to cheap freight
And you can pay for the oil change
Oh heck no if they only loaded 12 Then that is the agreement.Not responsible for what the shipper did not load.
They're looking for gullible drivers that just bendoover and many do! It's time to retaliate!
QUIT TAKING LOADS FROM TQL! It won't turn out differently for you. U will get screwed too.
I thought we were boycotting them 🤷
@deneenmorgan9119 Not everybody read the memo😒
My thoughts are that this driver get a lawyer. If he wins, the judge should have TQL cover the defense legal bill.
And I believe this driver owes nothing to unethical TQL.
Let the insurance figure it out, they will see you only signed for 12k and you hauled 12k so I bet the insurance won’t pay the claim unless there is important information being left out!
Your right I believe him
Just had that occurred
My driver pick load 1 pallet was damaged my driver did video n took pic sent to broker they said it was okay got to delivery they wrote damage on bol … now tql comes back say we are liable for the pallet …… went threw 3 months insurance didn’t pay but now can’t book with tql they will definitely try scam u ..
F*** TQL I came back from 2 months vacation and there was a claim for a damage tire I have no idea about .
They got me for a "damaged tire" the same way. I delivered an empty for them and a month later, they emailed me a claim. I submitted my pictures and inspection form that was generated from the receiver's guard shack that clearly stated the trailer was in good condition to drop off at the site -they would NOT allow you to drop off ANYTHING with a damaged tire-
I called TQL claims department and that WITCH basically told me the pictures I submitted "were not clear enough" for them not to hold me liable; no matter what the inspection form said.
I did some research about how to get an attorney on the case, but RTS (factoring company) already applied my reserves to their claim. Basically, once RTS gets notified that a broker is not paying the agreed invoice, they immediately seek payment from the carrier; no matter WHAT legal action you THINK you're about to take, RTS wants their money now, like JG Wentworth.
It appears that TQL will do this to Carriers who opt to get paid by their 'standard 30-45 day waiting period' or by factoring company. That way, they can wait a few weeks until after you've completed the load to hold your payment, wait until you're running a different load then 'offset' bogus charges to your current invoice, or refuse to pay your factoring company.
My advice to ANYONE dealing with TQL:
(1) opt to get paid by QUICKPAY
(2) factor your invoice with a company that has a 'non-recourse' option
Or #3 ( and this is my favorite)...
don't FU*KIN deal with them!
Just leave Cali, but do not come to Florida 😂. We are already full to capacity.
LMAO😂🤣
Chicago full to ..
Go to Texas😂
Facts😂
@@chicago23elazig88 😂😂😂
Please don’t come to Texas
my company did a TQL load it was delivered and taken but we get a email saying it as rejected and we own them 50k but it was still taken by the receiver.
Gotta pay for that stadium in OH
Definitely shop around, if the price is to high. If you pick up 12,000 pounds and paper work said 12,000 pound, he should not be charged for it 👍
Oil change is about $400 including fluids on a DD15 Detroit.
900+ is ludicrous
Open up your own mechanical shop and become a millionaire
Where the hell are you getting it done for $400? Thats got to be crappy oil of knock off filters or both
$400 😂😂😂
That’s what I like to hear. Going into a truck shop and purchasing the oil and filters yourself will be nowhere near even $500 so add the labor to the couple hundred spent on oil and filters add the cost of the other fluids and labor on that and $400 seems reasonable but GODDAMN over even 500 for a simple oil change is complete bull
I do it myself why pay for a oil change it’s two simple to do
Only responsible for what the bills say
Why should we be responsible for a load anymore since we are not allowed on the docks when we are getting load,
@@waltersmith7742sign the bill “SL&C” (shipper load & count)
Time to learn how to change your oil yourself and save 500
That’s what I’m doing. Prices out there are insane.
$860 for an oil change?!I purchase my filters from Global Truck parts ($140/50ish),two cases of oil when on sale at BJ's or Sam's $52+1 gal from wally world n 2 gals of lucas.Pay $100 to $131 for labor of full lube/greasing.
$460-$470 max.
AB5 is the reason I moved to Texas in 2020.Best decision I've ever made.
I too moved out of CA to TX because of AB5. No regrets. Living my best life now!
@JR-yl2vh Bought a 2 bedroom condo for $98,000 and my mortgage is $770/month. Can't even pay rent for a studio in Glendale for that price. Glad I moved.
Everybody who haul for TQL must 🤐 and bed over. We all know that TQL will scam you . 🤷♂️
1st. Make sure that you sign off on any BOL as " Shipper Load and Count"
2nd all freight bills must be paid in full prior to start claim process
Most won't give you a BOL with SLC on it. Well, I haven't hauled reefer in about 7 or 8 years. Things may have changed. 🤷♀️
When you sign the BOLs, you write “shipper load count” or “SLC” next to your signature. Any shipper that has an issue with that isn’t worth hauling for. Not writing SLC is 100% on the driver.
@thedevilandhertrumpets4268 Hmmm, I'm glad I run step deck. I wound be angry a lot. I remember writing SLC on a BOL at Quaker and they wouldn't accept that. Stay Safe Out Here. 🙏
@@thedevilandhertrumpets4268 yes you can write on the BOL and have them sign off. I have drivers with a sign in their van that states, "Shipper Must Load, Verify Count and Seal this Van Trailer. All info must be on BOL prior to leaving Dock" . Never a claim on his side.
ALSO, SAID TO CONTAIN OR (STC)
When all else fails drivers......leave California. It's a big country.
Total quality logistics is a no go,do not haul even if there is no other loads.I change my oil for under 400 dollars.
The insurance company is gonna throw that s**t out
$518.00 @ speedco semi synthetic oil fuel filters oil filters grease out the door
I pray for all we get through this man
Who cares about cali drivers they know how terrible cali is and still drive in cali fk it for everyone
Some drivers live out there and have no choice. Others are company drivers and have no choice. Use your brain.
Move out of California
AB5 should be completely repealed
Good Luck Cali Drivers.
The corporations are trying to get rid of owner ops because the trucking industry is made up of 90% owner ops. The corporations want to redefine OO by saying you a 1099 wrkr and they trying to own the trucks and make you come work for them by offering you a truck and telling you that you an 1099 Lease operator by putting all expenses on the driver and offering you (the driver) no benefits. Crazy!!!
I disagree . Many owner-operators are actually company drivers. What do I mean by this? Whether you are leasing or have your own authority, if an owner-operator is working with a broker or load board, they are essentially driving for the broker or carrier that provides the load. The customer belongs to them, not the owner-operator. If you observe successful and legitimate trucking companies, you will notice that they do not engage with brokers or load boards. Why is this the case? They have actual customer. This primarily relates to tax implications. A 1099 contractor can deduct expenses without a limit, whereas with a W2 employee, the deductible options are limited.
It’s been like that for decades
Re regulation under Reagan
I’ve heard nothing but bad about TQL
Literally nothing. Every single time TQL is mentioned there's a f'd up story behind it.
TQL HIT ME WITH A 9k storage bill on a container that I couldn’t pull because it’s a new shipping container company needed a private chassis, I had no choice but to pay it because I had owner operators doing repo orders for them and refused to pay me until I resolved it then they had to let my factoring company know it was settled
The first question about 1200 lbs of chicken. On the load description said 1400 lbs. Well the shipper, has also responsible reasons to contact the broker, but obviously the bills were accurate at the time of delivery. I would tell tql to suck it up. Nothing is amiss
What happened to my dad. He paid for the transmission oil to be changed and filter plus gasket. He told me they filled it too much. I bumped some out. The transmission oil was straight black. The bolts were never touched. It cost him over $200 for no service. At a quick oil change place. Of today. I have everything to go do it myself. My charge to him. Price of oil, filter, and gasket. My personal pay. Spending time with him. Double check their work.
-probably just a transmission "flush"
@@jonmccormick8683 He did no work to it. Yet. A transmission flush can ruin your transmission. Do them at your own risk. Only drain oil and replace the oil, filter, and gasket.
If the shipper did not ship the product and it is in black & white( bol) nothing is missing, there is no claim. The receiver signed the bills and agreed to take the short. There is no claim. Take them to court if they continue. I doubt the insurance claim will happen if your paper work is correct. They will investigate the claim.
TQL calls me every single day. I have heard to many horror stories just like this. My advice to you is hand all over to your insurance company. If you use a factoring company, get them involved. Unfortunately, you won't be able to fight the corporate lawyer alone. Best of to you. 🙏
Thanks! Keep up the awesome work! We all have a voice, but your platform is like a megaphone for our voices!
2 days ago i ran into a similar situation. On My pick up documents it says 20 pallets on bol it was 19 pallets so i called both dispatch and broker and broker gave me the ok. So it's always best verify key components on both bol in trailer before you leave the shipper's yard. As for the guy with the pm service, you got charged double. Even dealers don't charge that much for a pm service
If i had a dollar for every time i was told i was picking up 35,000 and then im loaded with 40,000 plus, no extra money.
If you had refused it you wouldn't need the dollars
Appreciate your informative videos about this industry
Dang,I just had an oil change at freightliner for $550
Do it yourself if you don't like it. You probably don't even know how to check your oil.
@stanleystempinski235 Don't care what your problem is, don't care you're ignorant and can't comprehend! Kick rocks bish!
Thanks!
This is why I changed my own oil, 300.00 max, filter from truck part store 60-100, oil from Walmart 12gallons 198.00, yall have become more resourceful
Four filters and oil is 550
Stay strong brothers, God bless you all
They go after your insurance keep the chicken and sell it on the streets.
when I was doing that type of freight I would make receiver sign the bill seal intact before I opened the doors
It depends on how much your filters cost. I saw those prices in 2014
I get regular services for about 400ish but there was a time I had my transmission and axle gear oil changed out and it was around 900
I did exactly the same...I had to pay the other 2 Pallets that they cut....also I change my on oil...cost me about $250...oil and filter and that's full synthetic lucus 15w40
Oil change in Denny's Phoenix AZ. ISX 409.00
10 dollars more por gallon if you get. Delo. Or rottella
The transporter (e.g. the Carrier and their authorized agent/the driver for the load) is obligated only for the documented (written contract/bill of lading) cargo that was safely loaded on board. The purchase order between the seller and the buyer is not an obligation put upon the custodian (trucker) of the goods. Now, if the B/L was for 14,000 and 12,000 was delivered (verified) then shrinkage could be an issue. In the example you offered today, NO WAY is the driver responsible for a short shipment. 50 years of experience back me up.
If they will do it to a Military Veteran they will do it to anyone! Also if you ever do decide to haul for TQL get paid on your load hauled before taking more loads from them whether it’s through them getting quick pay or getting it factored through third party it’s a small percentage fee, but it ensures you got your money, I had been hauling with them for several years on and off then started hauling for basically only them for about 7 months or more had about $37,000.

The broker at TQL I was dealing with was Jessica Blackburn so don’t think just cause they are a female and talk nice they won’t stab you with a knife in the back!
SMH😢😮
All most the same thing .I pickup a load in Laredo TX to Jackson ms shipper loaded count and sael with a bolt seal. Got to delivery was given a grinder to cut the seal. Unloaded all good three days later call I was getting sue for 10' 000 because of shortage. That ended when told them to call the lady who gave me a grinder to cut the seal off. Oh it had a bolt seal yes and wasn't removed until sitting at delivery. Showing it wasn't put on the trailer from the start. And that was the end of that.
Good afternoon Alex. Ask for that driver that is wondering if he's responsible for the $10,000 fine or charge.. first and foremost you always check your load information and if something does not add up you do not sign for it. You will be held solely responsible for it because you signed for it. I would rather reject the entire load instead of being held accountable for what my paperwork says and for what I collected
Clearly you never loaded food or many other things.... you can't count and can't possibly know the count, yet you'll sign for it
If you signed for it, you are responsible for it. You need to scrutinize (examine in detail) anything you are signing for. Also, if you are watching the trailer loading, you need to be particular of the product and how it is being loaded! Do not accept any damaged product. If they put pressure on you, refuse the load and have them remove it from the trailer immediately! You need to stand up for yourself, even if you a company driver. If you are company driver, call your company, describe the problem and let them make the decision. Make sure you document who you spoke to, time & date of the call, the problem you called about, and anything else to protect yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!
I change my own oil.
Yes I was unable to load the last bail of hay and king of freight charged me for the last bale of hay off of the load pay.
Here are my thoughts on those questions:
1. for the TQL load what was your rate con that you agreed to? It does fall on the shipper and the broker. The shipper actually turned out to be the one to potentially break contract if they scheduled 1400 and only shipped 1200 cases that’s up to the shipper to notify the broker that’s a different rate and a different conversation to be had.
2.i will look into how i can help with the coffee load
3. As sad as A5 is and the destruction that is doing to the economy into the truck drivers it is in law and the only way to fight that is going to be a long uphill battle and to get it back on the ballot next voting cycle. I cannot stress enough if anybody reads this comment that everybody needs to be aware of what is happening in your local legislation in your city and your state because you do not stay advised of the bills being passed this is what happens
Where do you go to book a refrigerated loads it’s getting very hard to find loads out of TX that is paying decent
Thank you
Stick with small brokers with good credit. Big brokers are greedy and taking more than they deserve. And try to book your load on a Friday or a day before, when those leaches are desperate.
Yes I have..
On the oil change what kind of truck was it to being serviced every 12-15,000 miles? Never used a lubezone so not sure about price or any extras that might have been on the ticket.
You need to put on the bill of lading shipper load and count
Hey brotha i am trying to get the authority under North American van lines but dont know what I really need to do. I’ve tried calling and applied so they’d call me but not having any luck🤷🏽♂️ any advice
I sold my truck back when the oil change was 120$(2004) 😊 and I've been a company driver ever since.
Yes the driver is liable for getting the correct quantity matching the BOL for delivery. However, paperwork doesnt always reflect quantity "ordered" and the receiver will charge OSD. if owner op, instead of charging back to the shipper, its on the driver. Check ur paperwork/broker orders, packing list etc and keep copies. I was always taught once its on your truck you own it. Make sure you know. If theres a discrepancy (i know takes time(: but call the broker B4 you leave with it. Ive heard TQL sucks.. but hey. Good luck to ya driver.
Cali had a chance to get rid of newsom but no they just had to keep him
I live in California....and we are doomed....🤦😵😵😵
Y'all sure are.....California is not the business. It's so bad!
1) ALWAYS check your bills. 2) If you didn’t sign for it, you’re not responsible 3) Lawyer up ( if you can find one) 🙏🏼
Alex you right it’s oil change should be no more than $550 unless oil is full senthtic
Where were these protesters back in 2019? Most private trucking companies ended their CA contracting relationships with owner ops back then…i was given 1 month to figure out what i was going to do. Went company driver route…couldn’t be happier.
Where there’s smoke, there’s fire! Stay informed!
That’s norm with inflation.
driver on the hook for the 4k lbs. rate con is a contract.
Sounds like those o/o should have stuck together formed a company and went after that contract themselves. They’re just down there fighting themselves
They are trimming the fat everywhere
Go buy your OWN Oil/ Filters. Find a small reputable shop
How much for labor?
Nawwww they thought they were special,, they are on their own, they didn’t feel like a regular employee, they didn’t fight for everyone to get a livable wage, why should anyone care for or fight for them?????
Always sign for a load slc shipper load and count
This 100%
Well when the shipper said that it was 12000 he should have call TQL and let them know before he loaded it and he would've protected by doing been through that situation with them.
On any load where the shipper loads your truck you should put SLC in big bold letters when you sign bills. SLC means shipper loaded counted. This takes the liability off of the driver. This way the Broker/Company can’t blame you for any miscount.
After 34 years in the industry, 30 as a driver now, I am convinced that most owner operators would be better off selling their truck and being a company driver at a decent company. Yes there are a few good trucking companies to work for out there. Very few people can handle all of the responsibilities that are involved in operating a trucking company.
Just did a PM Premium at Speedco for my Kenworth Cummins 2016. Cost me $550.
Shipper should be responsible
Yes, that is outrageous. I have a 2000 Volvo. I've gotten cheaper oil changes than that. And what makes me mad? You have to look around and call everywhere t. A and loves are the cheapest. I paid 500 Dor a little more and they still didn't have all the parts for my truck for the oil change.
All these politicians got some benefit from passing these new rules, we all know that but better believe in hope
Get a attorney period.
Hi Alex
Non profit organizations are the ones that make real profits.
Ab-5 hit port drivers 1st now the dirt haulers.
Labor can vary. You still will beat the 30 % markup on parts
Someone padding the receipts
Damn that’s crazy over $500 for a oil change
1) dont haul for TQL
2) my oil change costs me $250. I do my own.
3) leave California
4) don't haul cheap freight
Did you break the seal or them
Hunger games have started 😱💯
It’s the golden rule he, with the most gold rules politics at its finest business, to politician, wining and dining and pocket lining
How are they getting fired if they are independent? If they are independent and have their Authority what's the deal? Or did the city have the authority and they were just lease ons?
Drivers deliver what is recieved. Shippers need to sort their own problems out.
900 dollars is crazy.
They load, they put on the seal, than on the other end--they break the seal and get what they get! if product is not in the trailer they cant blame you. besides(ALLways check your bills) but even checking the bills no telling what exactly in the trailer, so keep then sealed.
I think he should have called the TQL Rep and notified them. TQL is picky.
