Landstar Questions

Nope, I went and looked at a 630 the other day, but the pics were way better than the truck. I was at a Pete shop in Buffalo getting a brake chamber and they had a couple 2012 386's specced really well but the payment financed for three years is the price of a new 386 glider financed for 5. For now I'm still looking for a needle in a haystack.

 

I hear you on the Needle In a haystack, I'm in the same boat. It is a painful process for me to upgrade trucks nowadays, thanks to the emissions crap. Can't find or should I say decide, on what I want.

 

Just got mines overhauled... me and this thing gonna be married for the next 5 years

 

Hey guys it's been a while since I've been on here, but I'm hoping to find some info on Landstar from the guys that are genuinely doing it and making it. The number one question is obviously what are you grossing BEFORE all expenses and how long are you staying out to make that, also are you pulling flat or van. I'm currently pulling a covered wagon hauling steel and am home every weekend making pretty good money, but am looking for a company I can make the money and be a little better rested if you get where I'm coming from. I would need to rent a trailer so any info on that would be appreciated too. Thanks in advance.

 

Anybody running or have ran dedicated out of MS? They told my buddy it's 53 dry van trailers with cranes in them. He said it pays very well but feel like it's to good to be true. Agent told him its year round work. Any feedback is appreciated.

 

Yeah I cant remember agent code....but its true pays VERY well....

 

There was a guy on here at one time that tried that. If I remember correctly, he was delivering machinery of some kind. I know he said it didn't work out for him.

 

Or maybe he was on the BCO forum.

 

I think he's gonna give it a go at it. Worse case scenario he'd get off of it. He told me minor details and I said do it if your gut tells you too. Of course the agent made it sound like cake work

 

Its stuff like ATM machines, maybe some machinery......it pays very good one way....problem is getting something going back to Mississippi. Because you have all the crane equipment, you usually cant load just any load in the trailer.
