Ken Adamo @thefreightnerd continues to double down despite Freight Waves’ past articles that cover how @Pink__Cheetah discovered a 40% TQL gross take on that January 2023 load of ice cream.
Why wouldn’t TQL release the records on the other 14 loads… unless, they show gross revenue equal to if not more than 40%. Like in this instance from 2020 wherein it appeared a carrier had released evidence of a 57% take by TQL…

It sure seems to us there is a widespread attempt here to ignore the actual 40% broker gross revenue evidence and brush all of this under the rug.
