    Sorry my decoder is in regen mode again. The shop said it might need a new filter.

    Anyway can you decipher your coded message for me since my decoder is broken again.


    Thanks

    since I'm not a boner bop, I cannot speak to the quantity of m's which I am making.

    suffice it to say, Landstar has proven sufficient for my needs as a professional dock bumper.

    look I'm a lazy-lazy working for a two truck operation and I pull in... roughly 4m weekly to the truck... so that's twelve in a month. before landstar eats up a quarter of that for their cut. and my freight averages out to above 2 dollars a mile... so I'm running like 1800 miles a week to make that...

    but what are you making? and more importantly, what kinda trailer u pulling and where? landstar has 5 bazillion and one accounts and twenty different types of freight.

    there is garbage 70cpm runs outta florida, and 20 dollars-a-mile oversize going into NYC... and everything in between!

    I'm not leased to Landstar.. I run my own numbers and pull their freight on the carrier board among other brokers... and I run a dedicated dryvan lane to the Norheast for Landstar (Carrier Board) and I pull for various brokers coming back... I don't get hit with the 35% fee.. I do factoring so I get hit with a 3% fee and I clear about $16,000 a month usually after expenses... give or take weather being a factor..

    you're running hard, I take it? how many miles a month or is it just a high rate?

    not really I run about 2500 miles a week maybe less if I can get a decent load coming back... its a really high rate going up there cause nobody wants to do it.. Best money to be made is the northeast with a dryvan
