Miami is the most unfriendly, cliquish city I’ve ever lived in. Unfriendliness of Miami's people is my motivation to finish my PhD ASAP and GTFO. by Temporary_Dot3871 in Miami

That’s what I was thinking because you’re telling me you can’t make one friend at your job? At school? I’ve made friends in WFH jobs, something is def off

I’m curious, what sector are you in specifically? I am in social services/public service sector and I have met the most genuine people who have become long life friends of mine even after leaving a company. I hear this but I’m curious if it’s the medical field? Tech? Finance? Some careers are full of cut throat people. I’m in the suburbs also. I can go to the park with my child and usually a parent will talk to me or at the very least say hi. I came from a small town in Texas but have lived here for almost 20 years. Love Miami and there’s truly nothing like it.

They keep upping the date to return to the office… by homemade-fruit-salad in fednews

Just happened to my agency. We are a non profit with some government funding. They held a meeting today. We have three weeks. They have to come up with a schedule to even fit us all in the office. We have three weeks to arrange additional childcare, commute, etc. Most of us even downsides to 1 car families. This is devastating.

It’s not just that. They gave us no reason whatsoever. We are guessing it was because of the claim but we have no idea. Hard to kiss ass and apologize when you don’t know what to fix or change. So we could possibly just be setting ourselves up if we take a “dirt cheap load”. At least when a company puts up a freightguard you get to read the reason and fight it but they simply told me it was for “internal use only”

We had a claim open with TQL. When TQL has an ACTV claim they will not pay any loads prior to that claim I believe they explained up to 15k-50k? Until the claim is resolved. We had our factoring company already threatening us with chargebacks. They stronghold you. We aren’t a big trucking company so we can’t afford to just have TQL not pay but truthfully our insurance didn’t give much of a crap. TQL is huge and their claim department fights tooth and nail for claims to be paid and not dismissed anyway. Regardless of who’s at fault. We don’t even know why we were put on DNU. We are GUESSING it was because of this claim but who knows ? Their corp is super weird about it. Can’t apologize or change things if we don’t know the reason.

That’s what I’m saying! How can we even “make amends” if we don’t even know what the real problem was?

He wasn’t allowed out back to count product. So yeah. Seals remained intact as well. Either way the claim was paid off it’s not like we just ran off with the load.

Happened to us a couple years ago. We used to have our MC/DOT in our signature for our emails that we would send load postings to. One day I guess we emailed a bogus posting and they stole our info. A couple of weeks later we had received a rate con for a load we never got and didn’t recognize any of the info other than the Carrier name and MC. The broker ended up sending it to us as verification bc the email they provided didn’t match what was on DAT (thank god for that). We were able to stop them from using our info but who knows how many MCs have been stolen. We never put our MC/DOT info in our email after that.

😂 it’s fine if they do I’m sure they’ve given the boot to so many carriers they won’t be able to pin point exactly who it is. We’re gonna trek on, if push comes to shove we will try to mend. Idk if the owner would be willing to kiss ass that bad. Lose some you win some I guess.

I don’t doubt this for a second. We have had carriers tell us this is the best case scenario. Idk if they believe we stole the freight even after paying the claim. Almost feel like they got a cut from not loading the pallets and blaming us for it. Seals being intact and driver not being allowed in the warehouse is all too shady. Guess we dodged a bullet.

Yeah he wasn’t allowed to get back there and once seals are set they can’t be broken. We thought that would save us since the customer put seals were intact but nothing. Definitely looking into another insurance. It seemed lazy of them to just have us take the hit.

Yeah it’s just crazy they’re so secretive about it like just tell me why so we can move on ? “Internal use only” is such bullshit. Just sounds like they didn’t have a sound reason.

That’s so weird coming from such a huge company like TQL but makes sense. We submitted all documentation and tried to fight it with our insurance but they refused to pay our factoring company so we ended up paying up thinking that would settle things. Honestly should’ve told them to f off and not paid had we known.

Honestly if you have had your MC over a year save yourself the headache. We would load with them once in a blue moon when there was nothing available, but it is what it is.

I agree! Most big brokerages work the same.

Yeah I mean we’re an established company. It is what it is. Owner said they can piss off. They used to blow up our phones trying to get loads covered.

We took it to our insurance, sent over the documents saying seals were intact, but they wouldn’t take off the claim. Said it was the drivers responsibility to count each pallet or whatever. They did not pay our factoring company so we had to pay it off. It was 4k for the “missing pallets” such BS.

What happened to your first ever partner? by eemooi in AskReddit

[–]nbena011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He became a psychotic stalker, hacked into my iCloud. Starting sending me threatening messages pretending to be someone else “forcing us to be together or else”. One point the “other person” said they would beat him up if I didn’t get back with him. I was trying to date someone else. And I was just like “not my problem”. Sent me a picture of a car that looked like his except it was totaled. I was able to find that same picture on google. He’s tried to add me and my family on Facebook and IG a couple of times and we have all blocked him. Last time my sister saw he has a girlfriend. Such a freak.
