Yes I've seen most loads over 500 miles out of TX around 1.70 per mile b4 landstars 35% cut
WisconsinF150 and Steven Jones Thank this. -
I deadheaded to Laredo to load yesterday headed to PA for Wed morning. My take was 1.31 including fsc on all miles. That is above my operating cost (home + truck) so I chose to do it. Worked for me. But it was definitely looking rough down there.
WisconsinF150 Thanks this. -
Your running for $1.03 a mile plus fuel surcharge of .28. Terry tell me you secret !!!!!!!! I have never meet anyone that there costs for home, truck food, insurance and fee's at landstar and you can run for 1.03 a mile.

Hey terry glad you pleased with landstar. Im still waiting on heartless to take me. Messila valley said they could get me there next week with no training refeesher needed. But idk what pay is. Granted im only doing it for 6 to 7 months to get recent experience.

####, at $1.35 mi I'd be pissed !! I was doing that rate back in 2001 when fuel was dirt cheap.
I generally average $2/mi or better on all miles and would like to get that up to the $2.50 area.
TX and FL are two of the worst markets in the country to focus operations.
Guys, you can do better, don't accept the old beat down excuses to haul cheap freight, it hurts everyone.freightwipper Thanks this. -
Guys, I've been a company driver for about 5 years now. Sick of the politics & lower pay. Gonna buy a automatic Volvo & try to get on with Landstar (I like dry van, never done skateboards). I spoke with a recruiter today, he said I needed 1 FULL YEAR RECENT (3 yrs) VERIFIABLE EXPER. I only have 9 mos. with Crete within the last three years. The last two years have been TX. OIL driving big trucks in the patches... Recruiter says "they don't honor the patches experience". I've gotta go back & get the extra 3 mos. to make a full year... Can someone tell me if this guy is blowing smoke up my chimney or what???
I've got decent credit & looking to buy the truck from "Arrow" Truck sales in Dallas. Anybody got a better source?
Thanks in advance guys! -
