Has anyone paid their 2290 using that Landstar sponsored website? I heard the fee was cheap.

I am doing pretty good with a flat right now but I prefer a stepdeck. I am 51 going on a 101 so having a lower trailer to climb up on makes a big difference. I sold my step a year ago when flatbed freight took a crap. Now I wish I had it back. Flatbed freight is running hot and there is a 6 month wait if you want a Landstar company owned step. Flats can be had but probably an old piece of crap like mine. I really need to buy a new step but am also on the list for a landstar step to rent from them. If you pull a step or flat that is landstar owned go ahead and rent it from them to get the 8% extra revenue. It's worth it trust me because I have rented and just pulled their trailer and not got the 8% and u definitely come out better renting. Of course buying a trailer is an option too. As far as agents go just check the board for the high dollar freight and haul it. If the agent seems agreeable put him/her in your haul/no haul list.

Ive used express truck tax for years, and the fee and service is good. Commdata sent me an email about it a few weeks ago as wel but I think Comdata charges 25.00

I found the Landstar website which uses Express Truck Tax to file our 2290. It quotes $8.91 to use their service.
