    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.

    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.

    Never prudent to put all of your eggs into one basket. Always, possess context when speaking with a broker. Its good to know (3) three things:

    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.
