    It is actually now 65%, they don't do that 98% thing anymore. Comes out the same. And I think 72% with your own trailer.

    AFAIK owner operator only. They are everywhere. 1 year experience? I wouldn't do the O/O thing until I knew much more.

    What's the better deal? A small company offering me 85% of line haul with my truck and trailer (dry van), but no fuel surcharge. Or Landstar at 73% with a 100% fuel surcharge? The small co says I need a 48 state and 2290 only.

    Landstar only gives you 100% of the National Average for fuel. Some companies 100% is more because it’s 100% of what the customer paid.

    There is a huge difference. Landstar puts the difference back into the linehaul and then they and the agent get a cut of it.

    You get $50.00 an hour up to $500 a day after the first two hours.

    However I only got it three times in the first 90 days with Landstar. Haven't gotten it in the last two and a half years. Also I got Truck ordered not used 6 times in the first 6 months and then never got it again since.

    After the initial Honeymoon is over your on your own pretty much. I posted some of the ways you can protect yourself in my past post. Look them up it'll save you some time and losts of money.

    Post not on detention but on how to protect yourself from the agents and landstar. Should be able to just browse my post on LS.
