    If that's the case, it sounds like LS is getting some of their freight off the load boards.

    I don't know where they get their loads from. I looked at LS a while back and it seemed like a good deal but when I compared my numbers with other LS drivers it didn't seem worth it.

    I tend to do the long runs with a flatbed into the less populated areas. My last run out for the past month I averaged $1.68 for all miles. I haul lots of loads for LS and really like they way they treat me. Mostly military loads and never know what the hell I'm getting. I'm always told just FAK. They've tried to recruit me a few times. They just recently tried again and sent me a listing of their loads within my radius.

    wieghs just under 13k right?

    if your statement reads like mine LS will deduct thier 20%

    i know they deduct 27% on mine, and its split between 65% for the tractor, and 8% for my trailer

    thier is no way in hades you are getting 100% of that paid to you.....so lets just quit the BS about you getting all 100%
    LS will get thier money outta of it

    besides why would you want to go to ND.........there not much fright, and a $1.41 don't pay for much DH

    for what its worth, i have heard LS is thinning the herd, and getting rid of some of our broker board agents

    i know its not gonna help in the long run............but maybe, just maybe we can cut this double and triple broker crap down

    It's listed at $2,300 on the Internet Truckstop. That is what I get. I can also negotiate more. Sometimes I get it, sometimes not. There is no percentage deducted when listed on the load boards. I'm sure others that use ITS can back me up.

    meathead, im done debating this with you.............it's late and im tired

    but you will be missing 20% when you finally get paid

    if they can only get $2300, and you book the load.......guess where it comes from
    and just if your curious one day, ask one day for a copy of the bill

    one of us is getting screwed and doesnt know it
