Puls · Your business guide

Hey, I’m Puls.

Box-truck business. Straight answers.

Public beta · Limits & privacy

Uses general AI knowledge, live web research when needed, and dated BTO references. Recommendations link to BTO pages. External research links are available under Sources; this is not a live load board. Messages and answers are stored by BTO and sent to OpenAI to provide answers. Do not share sensitive personal or business information. Five messages per browser per day, with 10 seconds between messages. Shared network limits also apply. Public access pauses when the daily AI budget is unavailable and resets at midnight Chicago time. Up to 24 exchanges provide conversation context; long answers may be shortened and older details can fall outside that window. An essential browser cookie and a daily hashed network identifier help enforce limits; a random tab-session chat pointer lets you continue across public pages without storing your messages on this device. Page contents and calculator entries are not automatically sent to Puls; no sign-in is required. Estimates are not guarantees. Don’t enter API keys or sensitive documents here.

BTO is an independent research directory, not this company’s recruiting website. Confirm current openings, requirements and contract terms directly with the company. Source checked does not guarantee acceptance or work. Company names and logos identify the businesses listed. Inclusion does not imply affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement of BTO.

Additional requirements

Liftgate
Not confirmed
Minimum authority age
New authorities accepted
Authority research basis
Public third-party carrier setup reporting (The Cargo Exchange) lists no minimum authority age (0 days), consistent with BTO owner experience. TQL’s official FAQ and vetting page require active authority and onboarding checks but do not publish a numeric minimum age. Carrier approval and individual load eligibility still apply; no load is guaranteed.
Inspection requirement
No vehicle-inspection requirement stated on the reviewed public carrier pages; safety and identity vetting apply
Factoring
TQL instructs carriers using factoring to send payment documents to their factoring company
Payment information
Standard pay: 28 days; published options: 1 day at 5% off gross or 7 days at 3% off gross

Research notes

TQL works with new authorities; active authority, insurance and carrier onboarding are required. Public third-party setup reporting lists a zero-day authority minimum; TQL’s official pages do not publish a numeric age minimum. Carrier approval and individual load eligibility still apply. Its official FAQ lists straight trucks and says box-truck loads are available in the mobile app, not the web dashboard. Confirm lane, equipment and written pay terms directly. Application-route check Oct 23, 2026: the official carrier FAQ links this RMIS registration page, which returned carrier-registration content. Registration was not submitted.
