    I've qualified for landstar and I am looking at another company Jones motor frieght.


    Does anyone work for either company?
    I have two years experience 0 csa score and two tickets in the last three years. If anyone knows anything about either company I would appreciate it. Thank you.

    You certainly picked the wrong time to start. But if you go with Landstar, be prepared for some tough times until things back to normal. There’s good and bad with all carriers.
    Pick up and deliver your loads on time.
    And yes I’ve heard stories too, but there’s always 2 sides to every story.

    My cousin works for jones. He told me that they were offered a choice of going home and taking unemployment. Or to continue working at .80 cpm plus fuel surcharge. Hes doing a L/P and I told him hes crazy to work for a low rate like that. But hes saying he doesn't have a 1000 p/week truck payment like other ppl at big companies. So he can afford to run and make less profit.
