$9000 is a good price, especially with that low of miles, which seems really low. You sure it's not 1,500,000? Ours had 1.3 when we bought it...
That's a great truck! How much are they asking for it? Sounds like it could be a good buy. Good call going pre-emissions, assuming you don't need...
The lease purchase programs can be very risky. I've hear numerous horror stories of failures. One driver in particular was 6 months from owning...
My husband & I leased on with Landstar this past November and are very happy here. At first we were a little disillusioned by the lack of team...
The beauty and challenge at Landstar is you truly are your own boss. As rickybobby put it, you book your own loads. Run where and when you want,...
I agree, the 1st three months were VERY low. We were chasing miles not revenue. That's what I was hoping to demonstrate. We're still in the...
Yes, that was the gross revenue on the settlement. We were chasing miles 1st the couple of months and once we quit chasing miles and started...
Here's a good example of that, taken directly from our numbers: January: 8722 Miles, $8105 Gross Rev, $.93/mile February: 6685 Miles, $7155...

This is true to a certain extent but Old Man's comment is also correct. We didn't start doing well until we quit chasing miles and stated chasing...
We run kind of 3/4 team. There aren't a lot of team loads on the load board. The agents tend to book them directly with teams they've already...
I would recommend Profit Gauges. It's an online accounting system specifically designed for truck drivers. It's extremely simple to use and it...
I use my iPad with a Logitech keyboard using cellular most of the time. I have my laptop with me and still use it for non-Internet based work....
My husband & I are leased to Landstar pulling their 53' dry van. We get 65% of what the load pays. If we had our own trailer we would be getting...
In general, more HP = better fuel economy. Then engine isn't working as hard to get up the hill. BUT - there are a lot of other variables. But...
California is the only state that currently requires DPF, etc. My husband & I are o/o's running a '99 Volvo everywhere but CA. Well, we don't...
The '07 has emission "junk" - EGR valve. It was the first layer of emissions and causes a lot of problems on it's own, even without DPF, SCR, or DEF
My husband & I are also 1st time o/o's, leased on with Landstar this past October. We are pulling a company trailer. There is definitely money...
