    Landstar So Far

    I hate threads like this. You have your costs figured out and haven't pulled a mile yet. I'd think how many mile you run a year would have a slight impact on that.

    So my involvement shall be limited to, read the that Landstar thread or Blair's.

    Good luck!

    I based it off 100k miles a year. I should have a sense of what my cpm will be before making the jump?

    Just trying to do my research before quiting a job I've been at for over a decade

    I would buy almost new and not necessarily new to avoid paying sales tax. There’s no sales tax if you buy used with apportion plates.

    That is not true. Depends on state you title truck in.

    Just a plain old dry box, one of millions out there, you need to separate yourself from the heard. E track, logistics post , straps, bars, blankets, ramp, lift gate, lighted interior
