Landstar vs Schneider Choice ( Comparison )

Or maybe like you said a tight capacity ( such as say Dallas or Etc where truck capacity is tight )

 

I see the advantages of simplicity at SNI

i also see the advantage of negotiations at LS but like RollinCoal said it's frowned upon and sometimes cannot be done due to pre neg rates

 

I talked to a guy that was on SNI choice briefly at the petro Effingham and he said he was a long time LS - BCO and said that he just didn't like the idea of LS having so many charges and so many loads being placed on the board by several different brokers and after he had 2-3 cancel or over book loads by different agents in a time frame of 4 weeks that he knew it was time to go . He said LS had started to become a launching pad for Beginner Brokers and brokers who don't have integrity or just want to move freight and actually do not have freight of their own or actually work double for CHR or etc ( example ) and go to landstar saying they have their own freight when actually they just use load board freight hence the double or Quintupling or more of loads .

Said is he loved the simple operation of SNI and the rates are not that far off once you consider the charges of (LS Fees )

1. Scanning
2. Qualcomm ( EOBR $27 or so monthly )
3. Tolls
4. Plate costs ( SNI plate is roughly 150 a yr less )
5. System or load board fee
6. Trip advance fee for FSG and 30% LH


now with that said its hear say so I can't confirm it to be true .

 

Now he did also say that LS had good agents also so I wanted to be clear on that also . He stated it had just become harder to weed the bad apples out now as they keep popping up and disappearing or a different person comes in with same staff as a agent that was banned by landstar etc ..

But just so I'm fair he did say LS did have good and great agents
