    Does anybody have or know where to find the accessorials list for landstar that shows the percentage they pay for each accessorial? I remember seeing one somewhere but don't remember where the heck it was.

    Haha. That is true, it is always moist and delicious. I got nabbed by one of "those" agents. Ask what is the broker paying for detention, he says oh keep track of your in and out times. i replied that isn't what I asked, just take me off the load. He says oh you can't do that yada yada yada, so he calls operations in Rockford, and made himself look stupid. I was shocked the fellow in operations I spoke with actually agreed 100% with me, but did end up staying on the load once it was discovered what the broker pays for the detention. That agent though now just keeps sending emails to ask if the broker is going to approve it all, all the detention. So he is now on my DNH list.
