    I’m thinking about getting some backhaul from CH Robinson. They say pay is in 2 days for 2%. I won’t use all the time cause have most my own stuff out and around but need a few connector loads sometime. Any thoughts?

    Yep, they do quickpay in 2 days for 2%. I haven't hauled for them in quite awhile. It is what it is, they are what they are.

    I've dealt with them off and on for two decades. They have always paid. But keep in mind they are one of the biggest brokerage firms in the world, and as technologically sophisticated as it gets. Every load you ever pull for them will be right there in front of the guy on the phone. Pull below market rates once and it will be very very difficult to get a fair rate out of them from that point forward.

    I cut my teeth with CHR loads (after Coyote took 4 WEEKS to settle their "quick-pay")

    CHR always gets me good rates (and light loads). Establish a relationship with a specific human contact, and things will look better.

    I never, ever do "backhaul" and I've deadheaded 400 miles when things looked crappy. This deadhead, yielded $5/mile on a 500 mile run, by being empty, and ready next AM, thru CHR

    I do a lot with ChR , always pay and it's rare we don't come to an agreement on price.

    I'm running for them and they are treating me fairly. Light loads because I pick em and I definitely recommend a specific contact there. Don't rule out TQL either if you are east of the Mississippi. I've had some really good paying ones with them in the last couple weeks.
     
    mp4694330 Thanks this.

    I do a lot of work for them and do really well. Like others said never haul under market rates that's were you will stay. Definitely find one guy to talk to about any load out of any branch. Building a relationship with one guy or girl is very important. They will pay good rates if you make them.

    Market rates according to DAT are $2.80 for flatbed. Are you meaning this rate as not going below market? I’m asking because my customers pay more than that but don’t want to sound high when I offer a rate to them and they flag me as to high
