Exhibit 24 - Power of Attorney

Know all by these presents, that I hereby constitute and appoint each of Ben G.
Campbell, Christopher Gerst, Nathan Zietlow, Jessica Homes, Amy Seidel and Tonya
LaBrec my true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, each acting alone, with
full power of substitution for me and in my name, place and stead, to:

(1)	execute for me and on my behalf, in my capacity as an officer and/or
director of C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc., Forms 3, 4 and 5, in accordance with
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules
promulgated thereunder;

(2)	do and hereby perform any and all acts for and on my behalf that may be
necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4 or 5, or other
form or report, including the completion, execution and filing for Form ID,
complete and execute any amendment or amendments thereto, and timely file such
Form with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and any stock
exchange or similar authority; and

(3)	take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to
me, in my best interest or legally required by me, it being understood that the
documents executed by such attorney-in-fact on my behalf pursuant to this Power
of Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as
such attorney-in-fact may approve in such attorney-in-fact's discretion.

I hereby grant to each such attorney-in-fact full power and authority to do and
perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite, necessary, or proper
to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers herein granted, as
fully to all intents and purposes as I might or could do if personally present,
hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney-in-fact, or such
attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be
done by virtue of this Power of Attorney and the rights and powers herein
granted.  I acknowledge that the attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such capacity
at my request, are not assuming, nor is C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. assuming,
any of my responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act, as
amended.

This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until I am no
longer required to file Forms 3, 4 and 5 with respect to my holdings of and
transactions in securities issued of C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc., unless
earlier revoked by me in a signed writing delivered to the foregoing attorneys
in fact named above.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such
attorney-in-fact hereafter ceases to be an officer of C.H. Robinson Worldwide,
Inc., this Power of Attorney shall be automatically revoked solely as to such
individual, immediately upon such cessation, without any further action on my
part.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have signed this Power of Attorney on June 22, 2018.
