thats where you have your own authority but you can sign up with landstar to pull their loads. JB Hunt does the same thing too, and actually pays livable rates as opposed to what they do to people who lease onto the company.
Problem is that its a lot of paperwork and youll need a few grand for it. $300 for operating authority, but before it can be approved you have to have cargo insurance and commercial auto insurance...
youll need a trailer too
Other company's like Landstar?

In relation to your last comment.......
In late summer of 05 I went from being full independent to being lease to Landstar.
While working for LS I made more money and worked many less hours than before.
Before LS my brother was dispatching me and running the office end of things. The only thing he wanted to see on a log book was 600 plus miles and 10 plus hrs on the driving line.
Nothing else mattered. Many were the 110 to 120 hr weeks. The first two months at LS being tightly restricted to 70 hrs I felt like I was lazy. Then I got lazy like most of the other LS drivers.
The load boards carry A LOT of cheap freight.alex94 Thanks this. -
