    Don't hold me to it bur I believe its 8% more.

    Landstar van is actually 67% of 98%. Comes out to 65.66%. But thw fuel surcharge you get all of so that comes off the rate before you figure it.

    At lanstar you need get "in" with an agents because the best loads never hit the board

    LS will also not put you on without experience and a very clean record. They are not as picky as they used to ne but are still very thorough

    it fluctuates weekly based on the national fuel price average put out by the departmnt of energy. I haven't looked at it in a few weeks. it was $.22mi last I checked but fuel price has gone up considerably the last few weeks.

    So let's say there is a 2000 mile load. You have a $0.22/mile fuel surcharge. After all broker fees, what kind of base rate are you looking at typically?

    If you are on a Landstar lease you get the full .22 cents.

    MM or some one else can better tell you what the remaining rate will be.

    first off you'r assuming there is 2000 mile loads and in my experience all I can find that far goes to canada. then again i'm kinda in the middle and the only place 2k miles puts me is in canada.

    the rates are too volitile to answer the question. one day that rate may be $1.80 the next it may be $0.90

    2000 mile loads are not commom in my world. I think most of us run loads more in the 200 to 1000 mile range.
    My guess on a 2000 mile load you are looking at $1.00 plus fuel surcharge. That is to the truck.$1.22 for 2000 miles. I think that is best case senerio. Just my thoughts. What does the rest of you think?

    only way your making good pay on a long trip is if it goes to canada. but then you have to allow for the deadhead back out of canada to wherever you can get a load
