Landstar Corporation - Jacksonville, Fla.

STEALING DRIVERS FUEL SURCHARGE,THEY DID IT FOR 11 YEARS,THAT I KNOW OF..IT WAS CALLED DETENTION,AND LAYOVER MONEY,THE DRIVER NEVER KNEW HE WAS BEING PAID,BECAUSE THEY NEVER PASSED IT ON TO THE TRUCK,I THINK THATS KINDA LOW,FOR A BIG COMPANY TO STEAL FROM A POOR MAN..I WAS LEASED TO THEM FOR 11 YEARS,ALWAYS THOUGHT THEY WERE nice,sorry for all the capitals.they are slick.i would have never known about what they were doing,but a landstar agent showed me on the computer how they swindled drivers,its even built in there software on there computer..they would make the loads per mile sound big,even the drivers would do it,saying im getting 1.30 a mile,but what you really get is 67 percent of that,which is 87 cents as the crow flies miles..then they take 2 percent out of every load ,for so called paperwork..so you are really getting 65 percent,then they deduct 137.50 per week for trailer rental,doesnt matter if you work are not,then you never know when,they will take 4 to 600 dollars out for road use tax,you have no way of knowing if its right or not.they charge you 12.75 cents to pay you..they have a tire program,they say they save you money,but i dont see how,any body can get the same price they give you..if you been there awhile,you can buy a couple of tires on there credit,then they deduct 200 a week plus interest.the reason i stayed there so long is ,i didnt want to believe they actually cheat us,and the other reason they dont care what you do.i mean you can dead head anywhere and pick up a load or go home and no one will call you..the agent was good to me for showing me how they scammed off every load,and i thank him for that..you start looking at there ads,they never show you exactly what the loads pay,just a bunch of people standing around smiling..i hope ooida wins there lawsuit,and repays some of us our money,god bless ooida for being for drivers

 

medium load member,i agree friend you should stay right where you are,driving for someone.

 

THEY SAY THERE 100 PERCENT OWNER OPERATORS,THATS A BIG LIE.EVER NOTICE ALL THOSE VOLVO TRUCKS PULLING LANDSTAR TRAILERS?THE WAY THEY DO IT IS GIVE THE AGENTS 30 TO 40 TRUCKS,MOSTLY CHEAP VOLVOS TO RUN FOR THEM.THE AGENT TELLS EVERYONE THERE HIS.BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE REGISTRATION IT SAYS OWNER LANDSTAR...WHATS WRONG WITH THEM OWNING TRUCKS,IS guess who gets the good freight?guess who has a load waiting on them?while real owner operators set in the truck stop,and keep calling and asking for freight,many drivers fiquire it out,and just quit..i mean its so easy to see,owner operators all driving volvos,that look the same..also if you want one of those eggs setting on the top of your truck,that hooks you in to dispatch,well you have to give them 2,000 dollars plus interest.when you break it down,you get 55 cents a mile,no deadhead pay,then you have to deduct fuel,laredo to cleveland oh,you will clear 195.00 dollars as a owner operator..ooida is sueing them for stealing drivers fuel surcharge.that should tell you what kind of people they are...

 

Burky medium loads ,Burky knows everything about every company,just ask him,he told me he owns lots of trucks,and there leased on with every company,i think thats great Burky,as for as landstar you 2 talked about you thought it was a great company,you never talked about all the deductions,and you didnt talk about how much they pay why not?if you research them why wouldnt you know?also those agents are working for landstar only.when an outside truck gets a load from them,its because its leftover from landstar,and they cant get rid of it,other words your getting what nobody wants,keep up the great post Burky,i like getting advise from someone who owns a lot of trucks,and knows all the ends and outs!have you past the 2 million miles of logging Burky?i bet you have,God bless you Burky for being here with all your knowledge again thanks so much,Burky
