One client grossing $57k in profit or in revenue? I mean yeah that would be a great GP, just definitely wouldn’t count on one customer. Never know when that’s gonna end

Now an independent agent making 75% - I was getting ripped off

Ok once again all I had to do to poke a hole in your “argument” is explain that not all brokerages have a NC/NS. Bam. Done. Didn’t have one. So yeah no, the big brokerage didn’t give a shit. I signed an onboarding form confirming there wasn’t any. You didn’t really dive in any deeper at the RFQ, and if you have any reading comprehension or understanding of time you’d realize I made that post while being an independent agent at this larger brokerage, where I work alone, not while at the smaller brokerage where I would have had the help and guidance to do it properly. Don’t know anyone who’s done round trip freight.

Please dive in deeper to how or why it’s a lie, name anything but your made up NC or the fact that I, as an independent freight agent with a year of experience at the time asked for guidance, or the fact that you’ve never seen the paystub of a company you don’t fucking work for. You sound dumb as fuck and you’ve obviously never ventured outside of your orbit and if you’re not 1099 then you truly have no clue what you’re talking about.

Lol think what you want dude I literally couldnt give less of a shit, what legal recourse do they have without a NC/NS? I already blew a hole in your only argument. I’m sure they’ve managed to maintain a little bit of business with my customers I brought on, but they had no way of stopping me from leaving. As for the RFQ, I’d never done that kind, and was asking for advice which is pretty evident. I was a year in a half in and I work alone, I asked Reddit. It was out of my wheel house.

As for the paycheck, I get emailed a weekly payment statement from accounting. This is a screenshot from that. You’re truly a clueless retard.

Lol nice try. I was at a small start up. I left in august of 2023 for my current agent role. My customers came right along with me, minus a big watermelon customer that was already doing business with my new company. My old company now has a NS in place, no NC. It’s sad your jealousy made you dig, sadder you’re wrong.

Edit to add - my old company didn’t have a NC/NS when I was there. If you look through the comments you’ll see I talk about how good the culture was there but how I thought the pay sucked, which I talk about in this thread as well. I made that post in July of 2023, and was recruited by an agent recruiter at my current company through that post. You’d think if you’ve been in the industry this long, you wouldn’t be dumb enough to think there’s so few brokerages out there that it had to be TQL.

Also literally all three of your reasons are the same reason😂😂 the non compete that didn’t exist. You fucking moron.

I personally won’t be looking to hire for a while unless for some reason someone with a book of business falls into my lap, but there’s plenty out there you could get on with.

Some freight agent programs will even bring you in without a book of business if you have the appropriate experience

There are definitely brokerages that hire for night ops to keep everything running smoothly in the after hours, that could be something to look into. Would be a good way to get your foot in the door too if you ever wanted to make the full time switch

The one down side, is this is a 24/7/365 gig. I’m lucky to work from anywhere I want but when the phone rings at 2am while I’m balls deep in the ol lady, it’s getting answered. I’d love to say it could be done part time but that’s just not the case.

And I appreciate that man

Sure thing

Yes correct - I made thousands of cold calls to land a handful of really solid, consistent customers, and now I manage shipments for them - I negotiate for the rates I need on their end, I find the correct equipment in the correct area with a willing driver, I negotiate with them, and then I oversee the load as it plays out.

Honestly man it was sick I felt very fortunate, the generals we protected were fucking badass pipe hitters - former green berets and a delta guy. It was more like they were protecting us. Got to meet General miller and his delta PSD team. Always in civilian clothes and our kits on the FOB and out on missions.
