Thank you sooo much i was soo confused
You're welcome!!
Great content.
Thanks for joining us! Share us with your co-workers and let us know what you would like to see us cover next!
Just got hired as a carrier rep at one of these companies and im loving it so far. Glad I found this channel !
Congrats! Glad we were able to help. :)
What about Landstar.. great content , thank you
I have that same question
One of the shipper by accident or not had posted shipper to broker rate on BOL their rate was 1400 and they paid to us 800 so if this few low cost brokers earn 80% on margin how much are those expensive ones making???
I think you've answered your own question.. 🤔 Thanks for sharing!
How much do you think the broker should have kept out of that 1400? Just curious
@@adriane9284 is it a last minute load? Scheduled a week in advance? And what's the commodity?
@@adriane9284 some kind avg that i find around on load such is this one broker should charge around $250 which is around 20%, just curious what is your opinion??? And FYI if our driver didn't have to go home we would never take that load because after driver pay,fuel,tolls and all other fees we did't make any money but at least it paid the driver, fuel&tolls.
@@Freight360 I say the carrier knew all these things when he accepted the load so it's irrelevant. My question was for @operationatdsnexpedited2682 btw
Im currently in progress to work at one of these places. Im only 19 and I could totally use the money.
Sales rep

@@djjdhfnfndnfjdkwj 1. Low salary pay for what you are required to do in the sales pipeline (prospect, call, close, track, call dispatch). They make you work over 40 hours a week.
2. The turnover rate is like 90% the first year.
3. Many times managers will take clients away from you unfairly. It can get sleezy.
If that's the best job available for you at the moment I say give it a shot. TQL did teach me a lot about the sales pipeline and customer relations/closing skills... Overrall it's a good starter sales job. Hope this helps.
More info ?
Guess OP deleted my reply... It's a decent 'starter' sales job. If you have experience in sales, go elsewhere. The pay vs what they require you to do is terrible. In 2020 I was making 36.5k for working 45-hour weeks. You need to prospect, convince customer to ship with you, find a truck, convince that driver to work with you, book, monitor the entire routing, email customer about trucking details (pipe stake reqs, etc.) and pry more loads out of customer. You must do this over and over and over until you become a "4k broker" to which then you finally get your commission check. To put TQL in perspective, most ppl don't make it to the commission check milestone. 90% are fired or leave within the first 12 months. Unless this job is somehow the best available option for you, do yourself a favor and find something better.@@robertsmith-zq3ni
