    So buy a truck and rent a trailer and find a 90% pay company? What do they do for their 10%?

    Why Landstar and not one of those 90% companies, assuming they exist.

    You do realize getting Home to Spokane will always require snow and ice running in the winter. To me, if you wanna be a good truck driver you go where the freight goes. Everybody and their mother is afraid of snow and wants to run south.

    Thank u. No only the truck . He use the company trailers. I think 70% drop and hook. Sorry to say this but he is making more than u and ur wife together. I hope u can buy a truck and take time off whenever u want. Also this year he lost 30 pounds. 30 min exercise and eating better. He was 225 pounds and 195 now. You can do it. I ride with him this year to cook some healthy food.

    He is o/o with Prime. If u have ur truck u can work under their authority, insurance (really cheap), also they have truck to sell (used and news) the news are automatics. ( my husband love it). They also have lease program ( maybe it is a good idea if u want to run like a team) u can get 59 continuous days off like in winter if ur wife hate drive the season. My husband take some weeks a year and 59 days on winter. This company is working very wells for us about money and quality life. Sorry about my spelling but English it is no my first language. But I try. We have 3 years with them.
