Landstar questions

You should do just fine! Stay out for 3 to 5 weeks at a time. At least with Landstar your not getting totally screwed by a broker keeping as much as they can. Stay East of the Mississippi. OH/PA down to SC/NC and back again. When you get sick of it take a trip out to Washington State to clear your head then take it up the ### getting back to OH.

 

Landstar agents like chubby wife's and they are proud of it. So, when calling an agent say something like, I hear your wife is a real porker. That will make them feel really good and will probably give you more money then advertised.

 

Yes, a flatbed although I stopped running in February. Still have my truck and trailer. My old job was in a pinch for the 3rd time in 10 years and went back to help out AGAIN!! I think I'm done trucking though.

 

Not kidding. I did it all the time. Nice long ride.

 

No, the truck costs thousands of dollars per month. Plus fuel is thousands of dollars per month as well. (Assuming you're actually working)
These new semi trucks are $150,000+
You could get a used one for a lot less but maintenance costs could be a killer.
I won't get into the new vs used truck debate lol.
