    Well Landstar doesn't broker us freight. Landstar agents do. Which also number in the same size as BCO's.

    Technically, Landstar itself does nothing more than process invoices and handle compliance issues.

    They're a matchmaking service really. I just haven't heard much about this officially.

    I just posed the question to one of their V.P.'s. Let's see what he says.

    That's good, that must mean they aren't worried because they know it won't pass or they have a plan.

    It was mentioned on one of the Safety Thursday's a while ago. They are expecting that it will not pass the Senate. Then my phone cutout going through a hollow so I didn't hear the rest.

    Actually one of his mouthpieces responded with an answer that makes 0 sense.

    I think they're plenty worried. They just don't want a defection en masse.

    I posed some questions awhile back about some of the bigger agents building their own fleets.

    This was do to some wtf inexperienced drivers, foreigners, in brand new trucks.

    I think this is the secret plan no one talks about if it blows up in their faces. They'll quickly convert all those guys to employees, and be able to retain some capacity, although it would be a fraction of what it is now.

    My questions of this nature are always erased by their moderators.

    I'm sure it will come up again this month in the safety call. Hopefully I remember to tune in.
     
    TheLoadOut, PoleCrusher and slow.rider Thank this.

    Here's a good answer. It will take 10 Republicans to join the insane people.

    That's never going to happen.
