    Dave, it's not a deek fight.
    It was a discussion about how much better the rates are.
    Congratulations. You are happy.
    Congratulations to me, I am happy.
    We both win.
    Happy is happy.

    You said their postings weren't accurate cause the revenue wasn't up 50%.
    My revenue is up about 40% this year. They also didn't use 2020, they are comparing to 2019, no one is using 2020 numbers.

    They also have over a 1000 additional BCO's generating said revenue compared to 2019. That's a lot of coin right there.

    So yea, I'd say 50% increase this year is very accurate.

    Except that Landstar is bad.

    I don’t know about you guys but landstar is awesome IMO.

    Super easy to deal with, they ask me what jobs should be bid at, they pay super fast for a super low percent!
     
    DougA, RStewart, flood and 1 other person Thank this.

    There's a new agent code that has popped up called TNL.

    Spamming all lanes with garbage.

    TNL rhymes with T_L

    You have so been advised.
     
    Wasted Thyme and blacklabel Thank this.

    All of my inquiries about is agency TNL repping TQL, spamming all lanes with the cheap BS, have been removed from Landstar's Facebook page.

    A simple yes or no would have sufficed. I believe agent code WGY is them as well. 904 area code.

    Both have mysteriously started posting what some other agents had for like a $1 mile less.

    You have so been advised.
