Landstar is great! I have been with them for a little over a month now, and this is the best company i have ever worked at. I haul 53' vans and i always have freight to chose. The highest rate i have got was $3.06 per mile and the lowest was $1.87 (non-hazmat loads). They treat you great, you can be home when you want, and you can work as much or as little as you want. Good luck to you, and please let me know if you have anymore questions.
