I can tell you from my time with LS in 05-07 they ride a very tough herd on the O/Os and very little if any herd on the agents.
This is why its so tough for drivers to build that oh so important relationship with agents. Or its billed as super important.
The agents have no incentive to give a good load to a LS O/O. They can broker it and get more %=$$$$.
None of the agents I worked with had any loyalty. Maybe I just never managed to stumble onto the magical 7 agents that do.
Oh yeah, talking with your BCO adviser.......... pointless for sure.

landstar8891 Thanks this.

good POST filled with the FACTS...
-
I have always run under my own numbers.....Never leased on to anyone....Now for you critics out there of LS....Is LS better or worse than say leasing on to the Mega Carriers like Swift or CRE?
-
With over 8,000 lease trucks LS is a mega carrier.
Even tho they can be as aggravating as jock itch LS is still a much better choice than Swift, CR England or any other. I think most will agree with me about those two but different people have different needs. I don't let corporate rattle me much even tho I go on tangents and threaten to take my truck elsewhere. Few carriers give you the freedom to run or not run they way you like even tho they do micro manage your 120 day inspections and other Mickey Mouse stuff.
At LS we have good honest agents, some that are too dumb to be crooked and others that are crooked as a bag of snakes and will screw you at every opportunity. It's true that LS does little or nothing to ride herd on them. -
