    So I have a few mideamonrs and a dui 5 years old. I would like to get a truck through financing and go to landstar or mercer. However I doubt they will hire me so what other companies like them all 48 states and let you pick your own load plus pay%.. what others are like this that may take me and actually make me some good money?

    Mag carriers- don’t know about felonies
    Best bet is some kind of chicago carrier- and by that it’s a Craigslist company advertising percentage pay and picking ur own loads

    Have you tried to just get your own authority? You can hire yourself. Look into it.

    65% at Landstar is not cool. I do plan on getting my own authority at beginning of 2019.

    Voyager nation pays owner operators much much better percentage than mega fleets like landstar, Schneider, Mercer

    Voyager Nation is one of the worst carriers I ever dealt with - no money and they will do anything to keep your escrow funds when you leave!
