Why pay Landstar over 30% of the load when you can have 100% with your own numbers?

    I'm impressed, driver. Good for you. Sometimes being independent isn't the best fit.

    No LS agent calls me. Correct that's before LS takes theirs, but they don't take any of the extras. There's FSC, loading, unloading all come out of that 3.83 pay me 100%, then LS takes there 65%.
    Sometimes there is hazmat pay, lump sum, they take 65 of that. They take 65 of stop pay also.
    Detention is 100% mine.
    Guarantee this load will have 3 or 4 hours detention.
    But it's no hassle. You give in / out time, bang it's put on freight bill.

    I just do van. Flat bed where the monster money is.
    Landstar #1 in North America specialized heavy haul carrier.

    I'm too old for that. I'm good with what I got.

    I agree. Day rates around here average 100-120/hr. So detention should be about the same. Any less is total BS IMO.

    My unlaiden is $19.45 week.

    The $3500 is for all the rest, collision, cargo, comp policy, BT.

    He does all of Landstar. I mean they don't make you use him. You can buy anywhere, but LS is BIG policy lol.

    I'll dig it out, and PM you.
