This was evident from my 15 minute conversation with a representitive that informed me that when hauling by the cwt you take the total amount of cwt times the price the lane is running for (1.50/mile this case) and that gives you the total pay for the load divided by the amount of cwt in the trailer. in his world the load would have paid around .75/mile.

TRYING TO BE NICE... (TQL)

TRYING TO BE NICE... (TQL)

First off, Let me state this... I don't believe in bashing people nor companies or having ill will towards anyone... but this is sort of bothering me... I've seen MULTIPLE post about this company and I'm trying to see if ANYONE... has ever had a PLEASURABLE experience using this company... I HAVE called on MULTIPLE loads listed by TQL... and everytime I call, who ever answers the phone will ask "WHAT DO YOU NEED TO GET IT DONE?" but then when I quote my asking rate.... which is reasonable... they ALWAYS say they can't do it for that... it's out of their range... Now, I realize that they run a business and this may be their practice but is there anybody out there that has actually hauled for these people? It seems they... well, I'll leave that comment alone... Personally, if you ask me what I want then it seems that you already are hoping that i'd take less than you've figured you'd pay to get the load hauled.. I've seen many posts about this compnay but I'm trying to come at another approach...
