  1. [R1] TQL Carrier Dashboard 2/5 · US Wrong load: When you click on a load to view and quote a completely different load opens. You have to keep opening different loads until you get the one you want. This has been happening for a long time. Fix this!
  2. [R6] TQL Carrier Dashboard 3/5 · US App resets: Every time you switch from TQL app to any other app or even home screen and you go back to tql dashboard it resets your search information. You have to repeat and input all of the load search info from before to be able to book a load. Very frustrating and time consuming.
  3. [R10] TQL Carrier Dashboard 1/5 · US FIX YOUR APP!!: Haven’t been able to book a load because your app is messed up. When I click on a load, another one shows up
  4. [R20] TQL Carrier Dashboard 1/5 · US Keeps crashing: Can’t get available loads now.
  5. [R21] TQL Carrier Dashboard 5/5 · US Best: Precise user friendly
  6. [R4] TQL Carrier Dashboard 1/5 · US Can’t download: Everything with this brokerage is a hassle compared to all of the others. From constant phone calls to not even being able to download the app. It’s kind of mind blowing that a company this size could be the most pathetic to deal with. Could be a monster force within the space instead it’s a migraine at every turn.
  7. [R30] TQL Carrier Dashboard 1/5 · US Garbage: This is the most useless app I have ever seen nothing works it’s an constant circle of accept this and that and nothing works
  8. [R18] TQL Carrier Dashboard 1/5 · US Bad: Slows your phone down
  9. [R26] TQL Carrier Dashboard 1/5 · US Overheats device and causes glitches: The app runs continuously in the background, which causes my device to overheat and glitch frequently. It seems to be tracking constantly, which drains the battery quickly and affects overall performance. While tracking is essential, it would be great if the app were optimized better to prevent excessive resource usage. Hoping for an update to fix these issues
  10. [R42] TQL Carrier Dashboard 1/5 · US Will cook your phone battery: App uses too many resources, background app refresh, gps tracking, literally will cook your phone in a matter of minutes. Macro point is much better, doesnt require all the resources. As a company driver I am being forced to use this app, and its absolutely draining and cooking my battery, first time i was forced to use it i couldnt even even touch my phone it was s
  11. [R46] TQL Carrier Dashboard 1/5 · US Constantly tracking: The issue is the app has been tracking my phone and all activity through the app. I never mind to share my location in the app but not positive to let the app use my location permanently. Tracking dry battery from 100 to 20% in 4 hours (hadn’t been use the phone during this period to check how it will go).
  12. [R7] TQL Carrier Dashboard 1/5 · US POS people: Do not know privacy they do not want they want to take money from us if we don’t download their tracker, but we can’t charge them for using our devices. I am sorry it doesn’t work just one way. It’s gotta go both ways. The worst company ever worked for or load
  13. [R15] TQL Carrier Dashboard 3/5 · US Why does app read info related to phone.: I forgot to plug phone in and when battery became too low TQL app told me I needed to charge my device so tracking would not be interrupted. If it’s getting data from my I phone about the battery what else is it monitoring? I thought it was only supposed to track location. At least that’s what I agreed to allow app to do.
  14. [R48] TQL Carrier Dashboard 1/5 · US Very intrusive: Stop looking at my photos and battery level! Keeps tracking even after load is complete. Trl is one of the cheapest brokers out there. Why would you rate this garbage any higher the 1 star!?
  15. [R2] TQL Carrier Dashboard 5/5 · US Bull trucking Llc: You always work with great care, and I truly appreciate it. I’m very happy with the work. Thank you!

  17. [R17] TQL Carrier Dashboard 5/5 · US Manager: I hear and read about TQL many unwanted words not belonging to them the best Company ever Do not forget to the one who help while you don’t have nothing TQL Friend of New carriers keep the hard working
  18. [R25] TQL Carrier Dashboard 5/5 · US TQL: TQL are really good people to work with I can get round trip loads or what ever I need and want to go
  19. [R73] MacroPoint For Truckers 1/5 · US Battery sucking app: Normally I can go all day on my phone but when the tracking is enabled , it drains my battery in 8 hours
  20. [R74] MacroPoint For Truckers 4/5 · US tracking all the time: UPDATE. TRACKS YOU SEVERAL DAYS AFTER IT SAY "Tracking stop" . SO SEVERAL UPDATES LATER STILL THE SAME. EXCEPT NOW IS AI CALLING YOU FROM MACROPOINT. SO MUCH FOR REDUCED CALLS. THE REST IS SAME. when You deliver load it supposed to stop, but in small letters is that it might continue tracking after You are done for up to 3 days. in reality as long as the app is on Your phone
  21. [R75] MacroPoint For Truckers 1/5 · US Not sure: Seems to work OK while you have a load but I’ve delivered loads to three weeks ago that are still hanging around on there. They obviously don’t care to clear them out once they’re done they do not need to be hanging around.
  22. [R37] TQL Carrier Dashboard 5/5 · US Loadboard not working: Bhai jaan yh chl ni rha, teen din hogye hain mera koi load ni book hua.
  23. [R44] TQL Carrier Dashboard 1/5 · US Stop calling drivers: It’s cool app and service. But, PLEASE STOP CALLING TO DRIVERS EVERY time you can whatever you want to and ask your stupid questions! We are people too. Sometimes we are sleeping after long driving hours or doing our job. IF you have booked load negotiate to dispatchers or brokers please. Drivers already have all information they needed!!! Do ask drivers your stupid questions
  24. [R52] TQL Carrier Dashboard 2/5 · US Love the app: Love the app just wish they wouldn’t call as much.
  25. [R53] TQL Carrier Dashboard 5/5 · US Worried: Stop calling so much
  26. [R65] MacroPoint For Truckers 5/5 · US Great App, Too Much Tracking: The app works well and does what it’s supposed to do. It’s easy to use and reliable. My only concern is the amount of driver tracking. As drivers, we’re already getting multiple calls and update the brokers throughout the day, so the extra tracking can feel unnecessary and excessive. Other than that, it’s a solid app.
