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.
