Help needed from CHRobinson brokers or O/O
If a driver wants to buy his own rig and haul your freight instead of being a company driver, how does he go about getting started?

Well you have many steps to do first. Go and get your authority first, buy a truck, trailer, and other things. Once all the "hard" stuff is done, call CH Robinson and have the contracts dept fax you the contract to sign, it takes a couple of hours and you will be able to pull the freight. BTW don't let the contract scare you, you can haul for them once a year, or everyday depending on what you like.

It's been several years since I registered with CHRW, but when I did, they had a person call me and basically walk me through everything about how to use their system. If they still do it that way, this person will be able to answer any questions and will also offer some helpful pointers to you.

The thing is we don't know where these places are we simply pick up the phone and call the receiver. The directions they give us are the ones we give you guys. We are not supposed to use mapping software like Mapquest because they don't give you truck routes. As far as us being, "the bottom of the barrel when it comes to brokers and an absolute joke" I think that is a little harsh. You guys think we are trying to screw you over on rates and think we are making tons of money which is not true at all. I am sure there are some Robinson employees that won't treat you fairly but, for the most part, we do what we can to help you out. Our customers are who determine our rates. If I have a load where my customer is only paying me $1.40/mile I can't turn around and pay a driver $1.50/mile because gas prices are high. Most of the time our hands are tied on what we can pay. We are not making large margins off of this freight. We push volume not high margins. I pay what I can, my paycheck is the same if I pay you $400 or $1000 it doesn't matter we are strictly salary. I dont get paid commission. There is only 1 out of 280 offices that gets paid commission. So many drivers bash CH Robinson. If you don't like our heavy freight or cheap rates don't take it. I had a driver the other day saying there is going to be an Owner Op strike to force us to pay higher rates. FYI-We can cover all of our loads year round and never use an owner op. CH Robinson is not going anywhere. CH Robinson has been here for over 100 years and we still grow 20% each year. We are the Wal-Mart of the transportation industry only CH Robinson only hires people with college degrees. Wal-Mart will hire you as long as you have a pulse. So, if you hate us, don't care, don't call us. For anyone else, find you a good office that will treat you fairly and find a few good contacts to work with.
Lets talk about what your company did at Horsehead/Palmerton--- You guys are scum. Eat your loads

OK Thanks. It sounds to me that bad directions are the main problem here. I can deal with that. I'm from NJ. Can I get daily trips/turn arounds, dedicated, loaded to and from and get home to NJ every night or is all road work ? How steady is the freight ?

They have always SUCKED. I remember getting #### loads from them going to Food Lion in NC...I REFUSED to do anymore and they would beg...no way! CH Robinson constantly tries to spam us as well. We even had one, from them, that came on and said IDK if this is spam, but I don't care...here is such and such...

That/They are pathetic.

done close to 100k since june with CHR.lowest paying broker but-you guessed it,they have more loads! some loads we can bump the rate up to what we want,others they won't budge. all depends on how many empty trucks are in that area. get the most $$ when i post my trucks and they call needing the load picked up ASAP(should have loaded the day before).good luck getting good rates out of florida or new jersey areas

CH treats the truck drivers like dirt. It's just a prime example of corporate america crushing the working class. I have not pulled a CH load yet that paid any decent money, nor do they pay a fuel surcharge instead they keep it for themselves. Whoever thought microsoft was a monopoly should look at CH. CH even says on their website they set the rates for freight all over the world. Furthemore I know a CH person and he adjusts the rates of the loads, and makes good money doing it.
