With that being said; you can make good money at LS. Real good... ( if your quick, fast, and in tune with your emails/lanes/ geographical SENSE. You must work the hell out of your emails to be profitable enough to actually pay a driver LEGALLY on a W-2. Ok.
Great loads last 10-30 seconds. ($3 plus)
Good loads lasts 30 seconds to 3 minutes($2.50/$3)
Decent loads last 2 minutes to about 15 minutes($2.00/$2.50)
Average loads last 5 mins to an hour ($1.80-$2.25)
All the left overs will hang around on the board until coverd by BCO or outside carrier ($1.00-$1.85)
I don't work for LS no more so is doesn't really matter for me to put this out. I was with LS from 2013-2017. Did real well in my opinion. But I was sharp and provided excellent service-PermanentTourist Thanks this. -

I know interstate has a lot of west coast freight, but not to sure about land star, but of course where picking our own freight -
Now- as an owner AND driver you MIGHT be able to well working the L.A area on short hauls with the occasional long haul out n back. But squeeze in paying a driver on W-2 plus workmanship comp and fica... tough tough I say. Slim profits
But out there you may really want to considering specializing in some niche' that has a demand or plan on long haul. This is my opinion. I dreaded taking loads west unless I made a killing going in. Because chance were that I'd get stuck doing the "western shuffle" for a little while til I found something worthwhile coming out that didn't destroy my pride.
The west is tougher on trucks, more mountainous ='ing more fuel spent/ more wear and tear etc/ less demand more trucks, extreme competition for P-nuts
(With few exceptions of course) I've made great money hauling trade show stuff on a flatbed going from Seattle to L.A / and L.A back north
BUT THIS IS THE EXCEPTION!!
Reefer guys might see it different / van guys probably don't see it different either
