Bit late to this one.
Answers question - *NO sir!* -
Does this mean it's time to cue up the next one: how do I go about getting one of those 19 axle setups so I can do heavy haul??? I have 6 months dry van experience.......lol...
Yes landstar has profitable folks hauling for them. I view their large cut as where I can make more than what they pay out but less than what they charge the customer and come out ahead. Then again, I don't really compete with landstar. Basicly if you do say 3.00ttt @ 65%, they're charging 4.61, I see a lot of office expense where I have very little office overhead, why not go get that work for say 4.00 myself? It just seems like a heck of a big chunk off the top. Very inefficient office operations/greed is what it is to me. It does go to show that shippers are willing to pay for premium service. I just like my bigger slice.blairandgretchen, Lepton1 and 77fib77 Thank this. -
I know several one truck operators at LS that are way north of 300k on their 1099 and just run 5 axle. I could run that much but then I would have to work.
How are you going to get contracts with Boeing, Lockheed Martin, GE, NASA, and many more?
Or be like some of the megas and supply 3 to 5 trailers per power unit.Last edited: Nov 25, 2018

Every year for the past 4 years 5-6 drivers died alone on the back of their trucks.
You know what they do to you and your family? A fund raiser for your cremation or burial ceremony and a thank you card for your family with a smilely face on it.
