    I'll say 3 of 4 don't make it a year for any number of reasons.

    They aren't dumb. They are diabolical. The best paying freight comes late a large part of the time.

    Pretty dismal odds but realistic.

    Absolutely. Landstar has a 50% washout rate right for the first year.
    After that it goes down to 8%.

    I am currently very unhappy about People net recording what is called a header event. I haven't figured out the criteria yet but when it thinks a truck has been following too close for too long (less than 7 seconds distance for I think longer than 3 seconds) it records it as an event. Apparently 3 in a week gets a driver a serious scolding. Right now I'm hot mad about it. do you know how that affects pulling a long incline with a heavy load? It costs fuel and time. Also please accept my apology if you were one of the victims of my seemingly random lane changes.
    Sooo mad. Honestly if I had known about this it would have been a game changer for me. Maybe I can figure a more elegant way to avoid said ridiculous recording.
    Anyone else delt with this horse pucky and can tell me how to control it?

    I imagine once you get through year one, you know how to do it and can play the game.

    8% of 9,598 is still a lot.
