Landstar AA&E, is the money really there?

I was quoting an OP leased to Landstar. But he has a Conestoga trailer. Wrong information.

 

Well, @fortycalglock has an open deck leased to Landstar. I think he can get you some info on flats and steps.

 

In my opinion the recruiters where upfront & honest when i leased on. I asked specific questions, and got the correct answers.

 

The AA&E couples always seemed to be a tier above the pack. I purchased my trailer from an open deck couple in the AA&E division. They used it as a 2nd trailer for preloaded containers. That says a lot to me. They they were doing so well that they bought a second trailer with one truck in order to expedite their operation.

I’ve heard more good than bad. Teams have increased in value since the ELD mandate. I doubt that markert within landstar is flooded, but there are vets who have been there. LS load board is simple, and if you buy your own trailer you revenue increases by a noticeable amount.

Good luck

 

Landstar has company owned AA&E trailers that you can pull. Many of us BCO's also have trailers you could pull to get started. Freight here is booming! The first qtr of the year was our best QTR ever, bar none and it doesn't seem to be slowing any. If you want to go Flatbed Landstar does have platform training that they offer for free. Yes, the longer you are here the better the relationship with the different agents. You will be able to make a decent living though as you get acquainted with the different agencies and it just goes up from there. We have been here 6 years and have increased revenue every year.

 

The load board for AA&E is the qualcomm. Everyone gets the same messages. FAK freight Landstar online is a great tool as you can set up different load alerts and receive those alerts via email or a phone call. At this point in our career at Landstar we get 95% of our freight from agents calling us. You will find that will be the case with you the longer you are here with the company.
