Landstar Questions

Just the regular cheap water & paper loads.. If anything good comes out there on the regular I'm sure another BCO that's been in that area the longest gets first dibs on it. Most guys out of Maine, Mass, NH deadhead points west in NY and PA to get outbound freight. I mean if you have no problem taking cheap stuff out, you're #### sure more likely to find freight back up

 

Oh ok, I didn't know he loads sucked that bad ,but maybe you can get out then run around pa to nj to ny and back to nj almost chasing your tale I suppose. What ya think are those loads better.

 

I finally got approved for Landstar.. I can't seem to find any info on their northeast freight. Can i just around Northeast and maybe va wv md ??how r the rates ?any drop and hooks ? any info is appreciated .thx.

 

yeah its plenty of that freight. There's one load that comes out of Carlisle Pa that goes to Newington CT that pays pretty well on the regular. Just alot of guys kinda hate going up there...

 

Alot of freight going North out of VA, PA, MD & WV, but kinda hard to find freight coming back south. Especially in these times. Decent amount of Drop & Hook freight going north tho

 

that load out of carlisle ..probably pays around 900..is it drop n hook ?or live then drop ?

 

Drop n Hook on both ends.. not going to say how much it pays but it's quite north of 900 gross wise...

 

cool..any other good runs you would recommend around this area ?

 

When it comes to the Northeast there are always plenty of runs to keep you in that corner.. The trick is to be planning ahead and follow up with the Agents that are full of loads you desire to run.

 

I was talking to a landstar driver today picking up a load where I work and he showed me their loadboard. Sure looked like there were plenty of loads to me.
He did say prices were down. I could tell by the way he was talking that he was genuinely happy there.
