Multiple trucks with Landstar?

Yes you can

 

Yup

 

Not fully sure. You can find the lds for your driver or let them or you both work together on lds. You pay the driver.
Landstar does not have a 2 check system any more, since they weeded out all the old Ranger guys that were Teamsters years ago

 

The man I'm leased to has trks on with Landstar. He has his own dispatcher looking for the lds. For his drivers

 

Keep in mind, any driver you want to have run your 2nd truck must also undergo the Landstar vetting process.

 

All the revenue goes to the settlement card. The driver will have his/her own fuel card. You can load that card for fuel or payroll or both should you choose to go that route. Or you just pay the driver directly from your business account.

You can book your drivers loads or you can set them up a separate account that allows them to see the load board but not your settlement or fuel info, so they can book loads for themselves.

I'd try to find someone who has either worked at Landstar, or ran load boards somewhere else who no longer wants to be an O/O. Booking loads for yourself and another driver is very doable, but a huge headache.

 

That exactly what I want to do, except I'm initially will start with 1 truck, I've gotten it down to land star or Interstate.

 

A previous employer gave me some advice one day....

"You either own one truck or a dozen trucks"
