Baack Thanks this.

I thought about Landstar, but seeing as it's my first truck, I figured I'd get a little business experience under my belt before I hopped out there completely on my own.

Start the process and start looking at trucks. Like was mentioned you don't have a lot of time to buy once they approve you.
HOW EVER you do not want to have a truck sitting around that you need to make payments on and no lease to be working to pay for it. -
Are drivers for landstar actually making money when they take as much as 35% off the load offer? Even at $2 a mile, 35% is a huge chunk of pie.
-
FYI: landstar requires 2 years driving exp. to lease onto.

From their website. -

I'm looking very hard at Landstar, once I'm in the position to lease a truck on with someone (Hopefully sometime after the new year). Heard a bunch of good feedback so far, here and out and about.
One really silly question, though.... do they accept power-only leases or shall I wait until I have both tractor and trailer? This is for flat or step, I'm not partial to vans. -
they have trailers you can pull but they charge you pretty hefty for them. you are much better having your own if there is any way you can swing it
