    He is obsolutely CORRECT !!! Landstar's rates have drop considerbly. It look's like they are looking for owner/op's who are wanting "BACKLOADS"(pays for there fuel, if that) !!! You might get lucky and pick-up a good paying load that is EXTREMELY HOT(need it now) but has been rare lately.

    It's all about the brokers now, they want 60% we get the 40%. NO THANK YOU......keep your cheap freight.
     
    HwyPrsnr and volvodriver01 Thank this.

    No disrespect pattyj. Just trying to figure out if we were talking about cheap freight in general or cheap freight at Landstar. Or just talking about those crackerheads at Landstar. Either way I dont like em.
