    I believe what you post. I've said forever that megas pull for top dige in the $4 and change hood.

    You are arguing with the esteemed members, and even if you post copies of your records, they're not going to believe you.

    Good luck.

    I'm responsible for my operations P&L.... I don't set the per mile rate. That is negotiated by people who make a bigger paycheck than I do...

    Oh, I know. I'd be equally embarrassed to put that out there, too. But near enough 12' wide through three states at $900 (originally $600) is just about as bad.

    So they're the brains behind it. They set the rate and you have to operate within those parameters. So you really have nothing to do with the rates.

    None. Have you not read these forums?

    So far I've only worked 2 months this year.

    Yet I sit in my brand new house, with a paid off truck, and an almost new truck still paying on.

    I read everything on the forum so I know what I should be doing.

    Landstar is bad. Recommend going to Schneider.

    I haven’t read the forums much. I’ve been too busy trying to produce new content. It’s really difficult though. Every day is just like the one before.

    wake up- count cash- make videos- count more cash- eat- take naps- repeat

    it’s hard being a social media influencer.
