800 900 a load is sad . You will only struggle in trucking with them rates .

We only gross 3,000 if we lucky each week. And spend a 1,000 in fuel. Only broker he lets me use is tql

@mikeschwartz2877 I work with TQL but I could not imagine myself only working with TQL, you can't keep moving like that, yes TQL has a lot of loads but if you want to keep moving and touch 2 or 3 loads a day you have to work with other brokers too. And also, if ya'll are grossing 3 and spending a grand on fuel, the rate per mile must be super low, I mean seriously. Not sure how you are being paid but if it is percentage you're being screwed. Bro, I do not hardly ever say that to people, because your situation is your situation and it might be the right place and time for you, I don't know so therefore I can't speak on it but. But one red flag is that your company only works for TQL that typically indicates that they have had issues with other brokers in the past and have a bad reputation of some kind, #2: they are grossing 3 and paying 1 for fuel, natural I begin to wonder what are they paying you, the driver who is securing the load and living in the truck, and then do they have enough money to cover maintenance, insurance, plates, tolls, 2290, IFTA These are just things to think about, maybe your company is a new MC and the reason they are only working with TQL is because of that, I don't know, I do know that other brokers work with new carriers. Also, lots of times, bad trucking companies after they run themselves into the ground often screw the driver over as their last move. Let me confidently guarantee you this, you as a class A CDL driver with flatbed experience, you can find you a good job with a good company any day of the week especially if you are willing to go OTR and live in a truck.
