    I explained what landstar does with the owner operator rates at the beginning of this thread.

    I see...

    Is thay $3.30 a mile before or after Landstar's cut?

    So, what's the minimum rate coming out of Colorado?

    Yes but colorado is a dead end lane the rates coming out of there make it not worth it. It's great rates going to Miami as well but another dead end lane . Denver was where landstar cancelled my $1.70 a mile load and then magically came up with another available load for $1.40

    I just did a quick search on DAT. Highest posted rates. From ANYWHERE to Denver, Colorado. 53' ft dry van. Here's the first 10 postings. Reality is most of these are negotiable too.

    Landstar brokers such as yourself do fantastic it's the driver's that have the difficulties surviving with these tactics , bait and switch and other things

    I think 37% off of the work and Wear and tear and fuel cost is just to much .

    I don't run that lane. However, it looks to me like the average round trip market rate from L.A. to Denver is around $2.00 a mile?

    Does that sound about right?

    If it's a true rate that's excellent at minus 10% but not so good at minus 37%
