    A BCO is someone leased to Landstar and runs under landstar's authority. The truck will have Landstar on the side of it. An outside carrier is a company that has it's own authority pulling a brokered Landstar load.

    Thanks for clarifying that.
    I am new to the game. Originally wanted to get my own authority but was advised against it, and told to look into Landstar. So I have. But, if I could have my own authority and still pull for and therefore have some backing...sounds like the best of both worlds. I'm not saying Landstar is or is not the best, but that arrangement sounds like the best.

    BTW, I would not be the driver, although I would love to !

    There is no backing, you simply pull the load just like you would for any other broker.

    He's banned so he won't be responding. Last I heard from him, he hadn't gone on his own yet.
