Landstar net earnings for a hard worker

I am sure they have access to loads that pay really well. The loads I end up calling on are no doubt loads that most of their drivers dont want because the rate is so low. Thats my opinion anyway. The drivers I meet are probably taking one for the team when we are on the same load.

How ever the one thing I do notice is, more often than not,.. when you talk with Landstar drivers,.. they have more negatives than positives when describing Landstar. But I guess thats truckers in a nutshell. We always have something to gripe about.

Yes - and this dissolves into the never ending argument of "leased on to" or "your own numbers".

A guy I know was leased on to his uncles numbers, giving up 25%, and running primarily LS freight - and going broke in the process. He's been with LS now for 6 weeks, and doing a lot better.

I can rattle off a bunch of negatives about LS - but I read the contract before I signed, did my homework and made a decision - so I may as well rattle off the negatives to the mirror each morning.

@spyder7723 is right - at least to me he is, I weighed the added work of running my own numbers to the LS model and decided that LS was the better option, at least in the interim, or until something changed.

 

I think in the end I'd do about the same as if I were leased on to landstar. The only thing is I don't have to put up with all the bs that comes with being leased on to someone. That alone is worth a price. Also landstar doesn't broker out the real good loads, unless they have a dire need. And the most a landstar agent will give an outside truck is I think 85% of gross.

 

Out of all that free information - that was the one comment that you decided to address?

Defeating liberals?

People are just trying to help you - DO YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON THE INFORMATION SUPPLIED?

 

I think it is useless to continue to try to help someone who will NOT listen.

 

Yeah - not sure why I'm bashing my head on the bricks here . . .

I've seen a trend in these 'ex IT turned drivers'.

Gracefully dipping out.

 

We just sit on the internet all day waiting for your replies. Can you please break it down to a 3rd grade level for us?
