Hi my name is stupid and stupid has a question. I currently work for FedEx freight as a line haul driver (nights only) I drive 162 miles round trip and work the dock for 5,6 hours a night. Currently I make about 80-85k a year. In upcoming years as i move up the latter in seniority i can pick a better paying run over 500 miles a night and make around 115k a year. Home everyday off on weekends. But again I told you my name is stupid and I'm bored and want to buy a truck and pull flatbed at landstar. Now my question is about rates. I live in VA beach area and if I stay out 3 weeks a month and follow the money what are possibilities? Give me the scoop on what you flatbedders and step deck are averaging. I want to set up that s corp have the sun in my face and be my own boss again.
Landstar flatbed or stay with fedex freight?

And every landstar driver I've spoke with lately wants to leave there for greener pastures. Problem is, there aren't any greener pastures. Just fields fertilized with a different brand of bull crap.
I agree with the stupid replies above this stupid reply. Stay where you are stupid. Figure out a way to be happy and stupid at the same time.Jpeterson522, ChevyCam, iledbett and 8 others Thank this. -
Get a hobby. Volunteer at an old folkshome. Something.
DO NOT abandon 80K for a "possibility".ChevyCam, autopaint, bryan21384 and 5 others Thank this. -
Money, security and happiness is relative to the individual. You won’t know ‘til you try.
