    I have been trucking for 16 years and would love some up to date information about Landstar. Can a BCO net 50 to 60k per year in dry freight

    Im a BCO, and i net more than 6Ok a year......

    i have my own trailer, so my % is greater than a BCO who utilizes a landstar trailer.

    Yes, i pull dry van....

    Thanks for your information. A few more question if you don't mind..

    1.Did you start off pulling your own van?

    2. How often do get home ?

    3.What part of the region do you live in?

    4.Do you run all 48 or just certain regions?

    Thanks for your help

    LJbigtrucks,

    We are still pulling a company van, but have budgeted for a new dry van next year.
    2. With Landstar you go home whenever you want.
    3. We live in Texas, but have chosen to run trips from Ca to NY and back

    Grab a flatbed or step if you can. There are endless loads and they seem to be paying better on our comparison charts then the vans. Let me know when you go in service. We'd love to put you to work if you're interested in our stuff.
