    That is one thing that Landstar does not have An agent or customer ranking system. All you can do is listen to your instinctual body parts and keep a list of bad agents/loads on a page labeled "ignore these agents".

    May be better to use a roll of TP cause the list gets kinda long.

    That’s why you get your own numbers, not a broker in the country will screw you over, LS agents are the only ones that do that.

    Simple lies. That is not my truck.

    OUTRIGHT LIES.

    Everybody told me I would make less money because - and I quote -

    • You can't get in to shippers and recievers
    • You will lose half your revenue to pilot cars due to length
    • Showers and a kitchen won't add up to anything
    And they were all right. DO NOT exceed yard jockey wheelbase. And NEVER buy one used. Utter junk.

    Mastery of multi-quote is admirable.

    As a BCO you can start up a FB page and sheet talk agents - I've read some, they're great! Especially when I know the agent, both sides of the story and the truth. And I encourage them to do so - they repel the other pests from bothering decent agents with good freight.

    But yes - from a newbie perspective it's a daunting process being the crash test dummy running brokered loads for kids that couldn't look you in the eye if they met you, until you sort wheat and chaff.
