Watermelon Load

I recently hauled a load of watermelon from South Texas to Chicago and when unloading we noticed some of the bottom corrugated containers were damaged and broker wants to deduct $400 dollars after I told him that none of the product was damaged.
What do I do?
Should I allow him to deduct?
Do these corrugated containers have a certain life expectancy?
Are these containers designed that have another pallet stacked on top?
Please help

Just becasue its "legal" doesn't mean it's safe! I know when I need to sleep and when I am safe to drive. Fight the HOS. Write your Congressman.

There is no such thing as a "BACK-HAUL" everything has a start and stop point, If it needs to be moved then it is a load, period. Insurance, tires, fuel,etc... aren't any cheaper heading towards your home than they are going away. BACKHAUL is BS.
