    Right now just under 15,000 loads are posted. How many can 8,500 BCO's haul?

    The reason they post it "all in" is they hope to snag a noob that doesn't know enough to ask them to separate the FSC from the rate. This way the agent does get a cut of the FSC.

    Brick and Heavy,

    I appreciate your taking the time to answer my question. For an outsider looking in (read: me), your posts are greatly appreciated.

    Thanks again and be safe.

    What kind of pay are you LS drivers seeing on average for your loads if you dont mind me asking.

    Is it possible to be home for say a 34 hour reset every weekend and still pull in 1500 a week after all expenses?

    How does health insurance work with LS

    What is the guidlines for buying a truck that they will take on. Year??

    Did any of you get a chance to watch Dan Rather Reports this past Tuesday? He chronicled a BCO with Landstar. If you did see it I am interested in reading your feedback.

    Probably depends on freight in your location as to what you can make compared to home time.

    With LS you are self employed. That means YOU provide the health insurance.

    As long as the truck passes their inspection routine age is not a factor.

    What do some of you pay for health insurance?

    I am from Chicagoland area brickman so freight I dont think is going to ever be an issue.
