    Ok picked up 5 steel coils at shipper. Double tarped all coils, and moved from MD to NH.
    Recevior made note on BOL that coils were wet on the bottom because trailer deck was wet.

    Took lots of pictures of shipper and recevior shipment being tarped and untarped.

    There isn't 10 drops of water on the entire shipment, and have pictures to prove it.

    CH Robinson load. Thanks for any help.

    tarping will never make a load water proof,, If you do not get paid right away file a claim on their bond,CH RObinson dispatchers generally do not have any real transportation experience,,hope you have pictures of the load tarped,, Never deal with CH Robinson,,,,worst broker in the country

    This is the first load I have done for them in over 3 years, because of the same deal that happened with some plywood. They grabbed $6000 from Progressive Insurance.

    SON OF A B****. That same place did the same thing to me with finger proof stainless steel. They put hot thin plates of steel right off the press. It was cold outside and condensation took effect. The load was tarped and every single sheet had moisture in between.

    C.H. Robinson is out of the picture and so is the shipper and receiver. It's now up to your insurance adjuster to step in. Chances are they won't do anything and will pay the claim. Unless your policy has a wetness clause you will have to pay.

    I called the shipper and spoke to several people, they said it shouldn't be a problem. I'll take it to court if I have to

    Sounds good! You can't go to court. It's not up to you. It's up to the insurance company how it's handled. C.H. may use this opportunity to drag their heels on paying you.
