    Got a question for you guys at LS.

    So I see many guys say they have a loadboard. Is that the main source of you finding your loads or is their other ways?
    Like having people you just call and they help you out?
    How do you guys multitask to drive and find loads at the same time? Because it is difficult to do both while driving. On average how long does it take you to find a load? On a Friday when is the longest you wait before not getting a load for the weekend?

    I am not a landstar leesee, and never have been, but pulled a lot of loads for them, and had many friends that were leased to them.
    As far as I know you will get your loads off of their board or direct from one of their agents.
    Once you learn the system, and you have to learn it, it is easy enough to prebook loads.

    I've explained how the system works before, you need to do the work to set yourself up for success in LS and it isn't hard but it isn't sitting on the load board and looking for work.
