    I'm a land star driver. And love it. But I'm actually a employee of the truck owner.
    Some time between January and may ill be buying my own truck. Un till then. I want to know.
    What other lease onto/ with companies, let you pick your own fright and let you go home when you want?
    I'm asking so I can research other companies. Google can't narrow down my search for me. Thanks in advance.

    Where are you located and what do you want to haul? Maybe @Chinatown can provide some options.

    I know a few that let you choose your home time schedule and whether or not you want the load selected for you or not. Not forced dispatch.

    The company im with . 75% of line haul, 100 of fuel surcharge and any accessorial pay. Pick ur freight from truckstop.com load board or we have in house dispatchers that have freight.. And agents all around the country that have good paying freight, stuff that never hits the boards.. Lots of military and a #### ton of oversize stuff. Only owner ops and lease purchase program . No company drivers. Smaller outfit only about 250 trucks total. Only open deck... flat, step, rgn, specialized.. Go home whenever u want , run however u want ... need 2 years otr exp and 1 year of flatbed exp.
