Hello friends, I hope everyone is being safe out there. Let me begin this with another topic on loads, money and back-haul. Back-haul is the forbidden word in our dictionary because there is no such thing as back-haul. Okay, so I talked to C.H Robinson and they're telling me about this dedicated load of dog food. Most of the brokers, I talked always say dedicated and this and that, and once you're in, there is no such thing as dedicated. I am out here in California just in case anyone is wondering. Anyone dealt with C.H Robinson before? Also is it prudent to use one broker? I have been using one broker for the last year for my reefer. Thanks. Gotrucking

Dealt with them a lot and like them. The trouble with them on anything dedicated is they will always be shopping for someone who will do it for less.
Jerry12 and John quinton Thank this. -

I use ch and if you know what your doing they cool. You gotta get with an honest broker doe. I got a couple of brokers I can hook you up with. As far dedicated runs I did one for two years for them and it worked out fine they paid me 2.05 a mile 50 per stop and 125 for layover with 25 an hour for detention. That was dry van and I it was 2012-14.

1), Its good to know, you will never work with broker- A.
2), Its good to know, the relationship you have with your broker-B will never sour...however, on this particular load with broker- B, we will not work on this load together.
3), Its good to know, that with Broker-C, i can say, i dont have to put them on the never work with list...today, we just wont work together on this load.
Have a model, when you come across people, (broker) whom is belligerent while you are working thru alot of questions.
Ques: if, ur pulling a reefer, why will you work a dog food load out of California...we're coming into a grrreat period for reefers.
