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 TQL’s official FAQ and vetting page require active authority and onboarding checks but do not publish a numeric minimum age.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 Public third-party setup reporting lists a zero-day authority minimum; TQL’s official pages do not publish a numeric age minimum.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.
