    #### man can I get 1500? Ha Ha just kidding that is one worthless person to do that. I sure hate people that can't honor a deal and have no morals. One's honor used to be a thing but doesn't seem that big of a deal these days to most.

    We are a very small carrier (7 trucks and under) and every single Landstar load I booked was an absolute disaster from start to finish. If you had to deal with these clowns all the time I would just drive into a tree.

    You should have been there right after the hoax started.

    Replaced 3 OneBox's in 6 weeks.

    I mostly deal with three brokers, ATS, landstar and a company that emails 'approved' carriers (the last one is usually $4/mi or better but has a 30 day payout). I can't say I've had any problems (yet...knock on wood) with any if them.

    Guys like that have a lot of nerve, I have to hand it to them. Only if they live nearby and they know they can't dodge you forever would I even consider it. If it's some guy swearing he'll mail me a check...been there done that.
     
    Rideandrepair and Siinman Thank this.

    Land starve. Basically a bunch of double brokered crap, and super low paying loads.

    The one that you get the best rate and easiest load. That is my preference normally/.
