You know, many of you guys don’t get it and that’s why you guys post about the rates and don’t see the problems with this thinking.
get it into your mind that it doesn’t matter what they keep, it is what you get.
focusing on what they keep holds back people, it comes from the human nature of greed, when people don’t get places like landstar have sources of work with rates that make up the imaginary losses that the owner think they end up with.
With landstar you can’t be lazy and expect the offers to come to you, you have to seek out agents to work with, there is a lot of money to be made as a team, it is easy to sell that team but it takes time and it takes participation.

>$1.05/mi ($0.90 empty)

I wouldn't operate my pickup for that rate.
Last I knew a "mile" was 5280 feet. Loaded or empty. Why would you charge less because your empty.dirthaller and ZVar Thank this. -
he nets 78 cents a mile after fuel and insurance. that’s not counting replacing his van, but I know he got it cheap at an auction and paid cash, think it was like $5k or something .
The current reimbursement rate for using a personal vehicle at work is 56 cents a mile.
I didn’t crank my big truck for less than a dollar a mile in 1995 .
There’s now way I’d crank one for anything less than $2 or $2.50 a mile if i still owned one today .blairandgretchen, jamespmack, dwells40 and 1 other person Thank this. -
My pilot cars get $1.65 per mile plus motels
lynchy, blairandgretchen, jamespmack and 2 others Thank this. -
So reality is closer to 1.75 all miles, i can survive and pay the bills at 1.50 but why shoot for the low end not the high end?slow.rider, dwells40 and Midwest Trucker Thank this. -

The $ works out to $1.78/mile all miles round trip to the truck - pulling hazmat/doubles.
I’m not interested in it, but if I was in need of steady revenue as you may be, I’d consider it.
Now - if you say something about doubles or hazmat being scary or perilous, then that’s all the advice I’m going to share.
