    Just d+h @Thomasville,GA this afternoon and deadhead 130miles up to Frito Lay Kathleen,GA to pick up tomorrow noon then delivered to Sysco Calera,AL Monday morning for my 4th trip. <br><br>

    5th trip will be heading to Montgomery, AL (50mi empty) Drop+Hook soon as I empty from Sysco then heading to Houston,TX by Tuesday noon. <br><br>

    I hope to get load alert or found something good load for Tues or Wed. to go home (Charlotte,NC) for reset.

    I did a lane match and will call one of Agent first thing in the morning! <br><br>Hope everyone had a good weekend! :biggrin_25520:

    Hey, thanks! And you, as well. Sounds like you've hit the ground running. This weekend I'm doing an oversize from Cabool, Mo to Wawa, On and then a load from Sault Ste Marie to Ft. Worth. After that, I get to go pick up my new trailer.
     
    milskired and drvrtech77 Thank this.

    Delivered my load from Montgomery, AL to Houston TX from Monday to Tuesday then picked up load Tuesday around 17:00 d+h then heading to Durham NC. I'm going home for reset on Friday. Found minor oil leak so might get that fixed before I get back on the road. They won't work till Monday so I guess I'll take some days off.

    Brought load from TX to NC from Wednesday thru Friday then took me 7 hrs to unload me. Got 3 hr detention pay 75/hr then deadhead home. So far it's been good week and half on the road.

    Your gross is your net,I bet you most landstar drivers don't get that,and most of them couldn't tell you how much per mile it cost for them to run down the road. You will get some flak from these drivers telling you otherwise. Landstar is a publicly traded company that has to answer to its investors the bottom line is everything. If there were educated drivers there would be no Landstar.

    Do you just search Landstar threads to bash them?? I made you eat your words a few months ago when I "allegedly" didn't make any money. Just give it a rest, man, it didn't work out for you and your possibly doing well elsewhere, just go on somewhere.

    First wasn't replying to you,2nd you didn't make me eat nothing. You just don't get it,and drivers like you will never get it. If 40cpm as O/O is ok with you that is no problem you can still survive. If you do not want to educate yourself and just talk crap that you cant back up good luck.

    I drove 100,000 last year, home every weekend, took off 6 weeks & netted after fuel & expenses $65K all by just bumping docks.... now show me a company driver who can do these things and I'll admit I'm the fool and give you all the praise and glory.
