Lamdstar flatbed?

Everyone is different..... everyone runs different. I don't know if you have Flat experience but I think you have to be at Landstar some time before you can train for flat..... I think.

 

LS will let you start with flat, no experience you go to securement school.

As for money 0 to a whole lot, all up to you, flat business is strong and are you able to figure out the system and make it work.

Just because you have a truck it does not mean LS will hire you.

 

Your right @Old Man. I was thinking of the different levels of flatbed..... FB1-FB5 or whatever it is they classify you as....

 

the flat bed rates are really high now and looking to stay that way ...... been with landstar for over 3 years ... when I run hard I useually net after fuel and insurance 3000 to 4000 .... just average short loads 5 day week home every night 2000 to 3000 ...... you have to take a truck payment out of that and maintenance but my truck is paid for so is everything else u own so I don't run as hard as I could. .... that's a van which rates are somewhat lower than flats but I don't think the net pay would be any different. .. flats spend a lot more time fooling around and waiting ect. and I do a lot of hazmat and totes and multiple stop drivers assist unloading. .... 2 days this week 11 stops cabinets 50.00 to driver for each stop 550.00 plus mileage pay and 35.00 stop pay (65% of 50.00 stop pay ) anyways this load is 3 days total and the truck share is a little over 4000 ..roughly 400.00 for fuel and insurance coming back home will be 3 days and that load pays 2500.00. .... so a 6 day week 6500 gross and the actual net will be around 5000.... probably take a couple days off next week and only make 1500 but I am old lol and I like to fish lol........ might be better to ask would you quit landstar and I would say no ......

 

won't get into the load last year me and 2 secretary's unloading a half a trailer or office furniture that was loaded floor to ceiling. ....... that paid 50.00 lol .... but they were hot that helps
