Carriers United

I have a 30 year history in the trucking industry. I know its issues, it's pains and we plan to fix them for carriers and drivers.

@SeanDuffy @realDonaldTrump @FMCSA @USDOT @SecDuffy @elonmusk @OOIDA
I am formally requesting that Total Quality Logistics’ broker operating authority be revoked or immediately suspended for non-compliance with federal law.

When TQL applied for broker authority, it swore an oath on the FMCSA OP-1 application to comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. That oath is a continuing condition of authority—not optional and not subject to private contracts.

TQL has now admitted in writing that it refuses to comply with 49 CFR § 371.3, stating instead that the law is outdated and that carriers must “voluntarily waive” their rights via contract. That is not compliance—it is defiance.

Federal regulations are not rewritten by broker interpretation. §371.3 has not been repealed, amended, or made optional. TQL’s position amounts to claiming a broker can contract around the conditions of its authority.

Carriers and brokers take the same oath, yet enforcement is applied almost exclusively to carriers—through audits, roadside inspections, and penalties—while brokers are given a pass. That is unacceptable. The oath must apply equally to both—or to neither.

Accordingly, TQL’s authority to operate as a freight broker should be immediately suspended until full compliance is achieved. This practice must end.

@JeffBezos Sir, we hauled a load to your Data Center on Lockport rd in Niagara Falls on 12/16/25.
Melton Logistics has not paid us. Can you help.

Freight carriers — this is something you NEED to pay attention to.

We just had a situation with a broker where our driver stepped out of the truck without a hard hat for a brief moment. He was immediately corrected and put it on right away. No incident. No damage. No refusal. No disruption.

But the shipper reported it… and the broker decided to hit us with a $300 deduction.

Now they’re telling us to invoice them — minus that $300 — based on language buried in the rate confirmation.

Let’s be clear about something.

A freight broker’s role — under federal law — is to arrange transportation. That’s it. They are not the carrier. They are not the service provider. They do not perform the work.

Yet brokers are increasingly acting like enforcement agencies — issuing financial penalties and taking money directly out of a carrier’s pay.

We’re pushing back.

Because this raises a serious question:

👉 Since when did brokers gain the authority to create revenue streams through penalties?

👉 Since when can they fine carriers for momentary, corrected issues that caused zero harm?

👉 And where exactly in federal regulations does it say brokers can profit from deductions like this?

This isn’t about a hard hat.

This is about a growing pattern where carriers are expected to absorb arbitrary deductions while brokers face little to no accountability.

Contracts should not be used to bypass the intent of federal regulations.

If brokers want to act like regulators, enforce safety, and issue fines — then maybe it’s time the federal government clearly defines their limits.

Until then, carriers need to start questioning these deductions instead of automatically accepting them.

We will not be issuing an invoice that validates a deduction we believe is unjustified.

And we think it’s time this conversation gets louder.

In order to understand a single law, you must research its history and that of all related laws. You will then get a good idea of how screwed you are.

@BasedMikeLee This is the same person that will defend transgenderism as NOT a mental disorder. \

@nicksortor These people are not in control of their emotions. She needs mental help.

@abdullah99KP I Love it. You are literally willing to listen to JE because its a bad statement about DT. What was the context? Was JE mad because DT would not be in his circle of blackmailability?

[Carriers United @oodcco]

@abdullah99KP The words of the worlds worst international child rapist.

[Carriers United @oodcco]

Wait, you said Trump was a convicted felon and not to be trusted.... But GM, literally the woman that facilitated the handling of underaged girls for YEARS is trustworthy because its about DT. She said that they were friendly. Trump admitted that, before he banned JT from Mara Lago.

@DarnelvaDoo @SpeakerJohnson I have LONG said that people should be held accountable for complacently (Make it illegal) when they do not take levels to protect children over their church.

[Carriers United @oodcco]

Looks like Trump is with an adult and JE is in the back ground. JE as barred from Mara Lago because he was creeping on a 15 year old girl. Yeah, that soulds like DT and JE are GREAT pals. Right? Or did you NOT see the interview to years ago where DT said "He's a nice guy but likes his girls kind of young though". That was a dismissal of JE. But that doesn't matter either. Right?

@PeterBernegger @jewelsHND Welcome to our world. Yes, everyone be vigilant, take a look and say something.

[Carriers United @oodcco]

@Richmuskheart1 HELL Yes. Probably be the best phone built.

[Carriers United @oodcco]

@SaveAmericaNew No. Because his acting is not his politics. He's one of the absolute BEST at his job. No one should be fired for their political beliefs.

@matthewmaddock @MichiganDems They do not accept what they ARE, but we are supposed to accept who they claim to be.
