Landstar is getting cheap.

Honestly? Probably eat the cost, get the load where it's going, and ameliorate the loss on several more loads for this customer before I cit ties with them, unless they remove their heads from their fourth point of contact. I'm not in business to screw the driver over. A load going sideways like that, and the customer effing me in the end leaves a bad taste im my mouth. You better be ###### sure I'm going to be charging premium rates, if I do business with them again.

 

I bet if you mentioned that it went sideways on a Landstar load, he was more than understanding.

 

Landstar and/or TQL cause me the most advanced fall-offs, or foul-ups.

 

I cringe when I get a load confirmation from landstar. They earned a spot on the no go list but somehow dispatch oops one or two through a year. Once a person realizes that anything on that board isn't worth a crap because if it was a BCO would have already taken it. I always feel exactly the same for any load brokered out by a large company with its own truck fleet.

 

I've gotten good rates from TQL too.
Landstar is always cheap and are liars.

 

Just another day at Landstar with over 40,000 loads of mind boggling premium freight.

 

And just think, you only need a couple of them this week

 

Oh I had mine booked Friday. Out & back. Taking Dad to doctor tomorrow. Leaving Wednesday morning. Might make it back Saturday night, I think Sunday afternoon though. Multi stop around Phoenix for the load home. So be gone 3 days, net should be about $3600, and I can care for my Dad, and still pick and choose where I want to go.

Just an awful company.
