Landstar out of New Jersey, any good?

Are you wanting to haul the same as you have been hauling? I haul flatbed and those are 3 states that I try to avoid. Of the 3 pa is best but it is still very cheap. NY and NJ are terriable for flatbed freight. This has just been my experience. I am sure some super trucker will disagree with me though. Land star as a whole seems like a good gig. Not to many people have too much bad to say about them. With your experience you shouldn't have a problem

 

You can get some good rates with them going into those states, but coming out isnt nearly as good. Get in good with a few of their brokers and you can get some better rates. Being on time, reliable, taking good with the bad.

 

Landstar has plenty of freight in / out of that area but like above posters noted its to get a Good $ rate on it.

LANDSTAR has 98 Loads in 60 out of NJ 100 in / out of PA and 71 in 100 out of NY on their broker board this morning

 

There's some good loads, but not nearly as many as their are cheap loads. We have drop and hook and live load out of Albany that pays VERY well and it's all short haul stuff. You can do 2-3 loads a day and gross $3-4k a week if we could get a dedicated driver to pull for us up there.

 

No, typical lanes are Albany area to North Mass, Long Island/Brooklyn, West NY, Northeast PA, and New England. We had four runs two weeks ago that one driver could have completed in 2 days time and grossed $2300.
