why does landstar pay alot more

I love your breakdown as I'm trying to research van rates in weighing my decision whether or not to come over. I run Midwest for the most part. When you list gross rates, that's before LS cut correct? And that rate doesn't include FSC?

 

Right, the rates on the board are the gross rate. It does include fsc and other breakouts to the driver.

 

a friend that i use to work with moved over to landstar and loves it i stayed leased to the maga carrier, (i'm on percentage)
on avg. we both make about the same gross per mile

 

Can one of you guys give me a rough estimate of rates in the WI, IL, MN, IA, IN region? For vans? Are most right around $2?

 

I'm leased to a mega, but on cpm. Only averaging right around 1.20. It's killing me.

 

Midwest freight tends to be on the higher end of the curve. Really anything north of I-40 and east of I-35. It starts to slow down once you get deep into New England.

 

i spend most of my time between I-35 & I-81

 

Take the LS demo webinar. You get to log onto their board for an hour, it's live and what is really there, you can do it more than once as well, the agent will do some searches for the group as well.

 

HT/Prime my loads are averaging $1.20 also. At 75 percent.

 

I'm signed up for that on Thursday. Can't wait to see the rates in my area.
