Total Quality Logistics reviews

Hours, commission is lower than other truck brokering companies. Single points of contact (POC) is also a negative because TQL leaves so much money on the table when dealing with larger accounts. The single POC means that you have to be EXTREMELY creative and resourceful when prospecting so you aren't unintentionally stealing other reps accounts. Backstabbing and stealing accounts is very common due to the terms put in place to maximize sales and results in accounts constantly moving around. You will also have to deal with all the constant issues that crop up in transportation at all hours of day and night, essentially putting you on call 24/7 and since this is a commission position you will not receive any additional pay for being on the phone at 3AM. Most importantly THIS IS A 100% commission position with a $35,000 draw. Also your commission rate drops from 25% to 20% (other companies pay 30% to 50%) if your account isn't a new account for TQL. Your 1st two promotions only increase your responsibilities (Saturday Team Leader and Sales Team Leader) without actually increasing your pay or commission rate. It's not unheard of or uncommon for brokers to flat out refuse promotions to either of those 2 positions because they have no interested in the additional workload. The downside is you WILL NOT ever be given the chance to become a General Sales Manager (GSM) unless you have accepted the 2 previous promotions.

While this position isn't for everyone because of the long hours and work / life balance, those who are cut out will achieve great success. Working for a significant financial return is never easy!
