    Just curious if anyone can tell me what a Landstar O/O makes on dry van? Yes, there are many variables on fuel economy, truck payments, if you get good runs, etc.

    But, lets say you get 6.8 MPG, run about 2,100 miles a week, and just have an okay week, what would you make?

    I doubt on this forum you will get a good answer on average earning. As you have probably seen many say it depends on the situation, which it does. Drivers do not like to talk about what they make. Either they do not make enough or have a good situation and do not want to ruin it. Because unfortunately there is always another driver trying to steal your run cause it pays a little more.
    Your best bet is to ask companies you plan to work for these question. Ask for a average settlement for one of their O/O.
    I did see a earning calculator on Conway truckload website, that might give you some idea, but your best bet is to ask the company you plan to work for these questions. It only cost you a phone.call.
    good luck.
