    Well this load has lumper fees of $300. The broker didnt mention anything about this in the confirmation. I tried calling but no body is picking up... the trailer is unloading right now.

    So will I be getting a reimbursement? From shipper of broker?

    Sounds like you got shafted by the broker.

    You likely have to get lumper fees added to rate confirmation, they should send you a revised with the amount added according to today's currency rate if you are being paid in Canadian. Another way is to have the broker or customer set up a t check or efs check so the lumper is paid direct from their account. You must notify them/get revised otherwise you will eat the lumper bill.

    Not good

    Continue increasing your rate to these areas to the point you get round trip rate to run these areas as the summer progresses until about the time it frosts, mid October, then the outbound will slowly soften rate wise and the inbound will start to come back to life
