Two-truck owner-operator in the Southeast with six years on the road - thought I knew what to expect until C.H. Robinson rebooked a timed pickup, failed to update Navisphere, and left me sitting five hours at a dock with no paperwork. They paid the invoice late and shorted fuel; that one botched load cost me almost $800 in lost miles and a missed backhaul, and their rep shrugged it off like it wasn’t their problem.
Bottom line: their support actually answers and fixes problems fast. Had a load double-booked last month and my rep called me back in 20 mins, rerouted it and saved a deadhead - I run three trucks so that quick callback mattered, suprised they moved so quick even when Navisphere acted up somtimes.
This morning Navisphere's mobile app froze mid-pickup and flagged a load as delivered while my driver was still at the dock, so the consignee refused to unload. I'm 22 years into dispatching 100 trucks in the Northeast and had to eat a $650 detention plus send another truck because the app wouldn't refresh or pull a proof-of-delivery - unacceptable.
...when the reefer alarm blared at 02:00, Navisphere's alert and C.H. Robinson's routing desk arranged a reroute and a local replacement truck before the cargo left the safe range. I've managed 250 trucks across the Southwest for 15 years, and that rapid handoff - coordinating a carrier, updating documents and real-time tracking - was what impressed me most. Invoice reconciliation lagged by several days, so I dock one star, but for emergency response and carrier access they performed admirably.
Rate it, and the next carrier reading this page sees what you found.
