Interesting, I would have thought just slightly lower rates for approved carriers like I heard. Sounds like a whole different board altogether.

Here's a cpl of screenshots from Landstar's owner op recruiting website.
This is the breakdown example they provide for a dry van. Of course, the rate they use in the calculation is subjective. Could be higher or lower on the base rate depending on when/where you might be.
Look at the bottom line AFTER they get their cut. Based on a 651 mile run, the dry van base rate pkus the fsc, the bottom line is $1.62 a mile.
That is nothing to write home about.

Rocks, OnTheLevel357 and DSK333 Thank this. -
In addition, that calculation is not "take home pay". It's interesting how recruiting folks present numbers like that. I mean, you still have all the other costs associated with running the truck that comes off that "take home-pay"

I would LOVE to see a screenshot or two of the BCO board with these numbers they like to throw around. Pics or it didn't happen!

That's what I'm talking about alot of the profit goes to their pockets . It's just too much , when there are other companies out there that charge way less . Just do a Google search for owner operator companies that pay 90% of the open market freight contract . The reason it's nothing to write home about is landstar takes money off the top and then makes a landstar contract for a lower amount and then takes 37% percent from that it's just sad that so many driver's don't realize they could do so much better with a smaller owner operator company and away from the mega fleets
