    That would be an unscrupulous business practice and I don't think Landstar agents based in Ukraine would stoop to such levels.

    Good to know that my operating costs are less than half the average. Especially since I’m below the average per mile revenue. That Landstar Driver reminded me of my first check doing OTR. It was for -$100. Lol

    I don’t care what the numbers say. There’s plenty of freight out here. Plenty that isn’t getting covered. Brokers are counting on that one Dummy. He’s not always available. They will pay

    It's kind of like a cash and carry thing.

    Will we need to go to the "Waiting On New Trucks Thread???" Or can I simply drive off with it???

    Would be nice if it had a lift axle. If you do light loads I would go to a lift axle.

    Some of the good paying jobs take several weeks to get on at if not months. They must have a lot of apps to wade thru.
