CH Robinson has not paid lumper fees for over 4 months

I have been hauling CHR lumper loads for years, never had a problem. Seriously doubt they are trying to scam you.

Best way to handle it-
Once you know how much the lumper fee is, call the agent and have a revised rate conf faxed to you IMMEDIATELY.

 

Just one question. Why are you hauling for a company that "rips off so much on our loads"

 

Never had an issue with CH Robinson. They have paid on time. Yeah, some of the rates are below par but negotiation is never out of the question. It's knowing what the bottom line is that you need rate wise to do that particular load and if that rate doesn't meet or exceed that figure, you say no thanks. Knowledge is power.

 

Our company uses CHR on occasion to reposition us for a long haul. Though their customers/runs are less than desireable, I never had a problem with them. I never heard of them having lumper accounts either. It's either prepaid or billed back through the carrier.

 

CHR was the cheapest brokers back in the early 80's and seems like they still are. I remember one trip with them, impossible transport time but was told to try any way and let them know when I got closer to the customer. Which I did and was 4 hours late and they took 10% of the trip money for being late. Never used them again. So be very careful using CHR.

 

I have hauled a few CHR loads that paid good. I just don't understand the OP hauling the freight then complaining about "rips off so much on our loads" The price is the price, haul it or not.

 

Perhaps it wasnt such a horrible rate without the lumper fee, and that was enough to make it pointless to have hauled the load? I've hauled CHR loads before but im not an O/o and never have been, so didnt really know what they paid.


They do rip you off, as do most brokers. If you wont haul it for that, someone will. Always.

 

You and you only made the decision to haul the load for the quoted price. So the rip off is?

 

It ever occur to you the lumper was the ripoff and not CHR? Get you to pay knowing they will bill CHR as well....double-dip. Seen it happen before.
