Landstar Questions

Never thought of that. Thanks for the info.
I did get the Michelins. Wish I would have had them installed at the petro. I paid extra for an alignment.
Has anyone worked for the Central Transport account? Running shuttles for CT?
I worked one day and never again. The CT trailers are all beat up and their yards have holes. More like craters all over. The Trailer inspection sheet had a date 0f 2012 on it.
Clearance markers out, holes in the trailer. Was let down by CT. Was hoping to make some money running their freight.
I'm still learning the ropes around here.
I chose a descent 4 stop load to Nebraska to start my week. I screwed up and booked my next load that has 200 DH miles and puts me in Denver. Nothing but cheap heavy beer loads form there. Most going to Texas. Wish I could undue that decision. Guess I have to ride it out and hope for the best.

 

Yeah I pretty much try to avoid Colorado and west of there but I actually ran that a lot last year.

 

There's no money to be made on that central deal, even if they had brand new trailers.

 

An agent who handles power for Giant Foods in the Denver area contacted me about doing some work running groceries in the 6 state region out of Giant Distribution in Denver.. He emailed me a few details like the area would be, Colorado, Nebraska, Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico and South Dakota. Don't get to pick where I go, all miles and stops are paid. Has anyone done a LOAD like this?
Thanks

 

I ran some loads for King's Super out of Denver. Ran mostly Colorado and would go to Moab, Utah and Shiprock, Nm. Mostly drop and hook and sometimes would live unload but never had to touch anything. Pulled King Super trailers. It was decent and if you get stuck in Denver it beats sitting around making nothing.

 

Why the heck are you putting specific numbers on a freaking public forum. Edit your post!!!!!

 

Yeah, when you post the rate you are giving the competition the exact information they need to undercut the rate and get the business. Another Landstar agent could even under bid with that info. Save that for private messaging people you know are other Landstar drivers

 

$2.80 is the lowest I go, but most of the time I'm 3.50 and higher. Just have to stay in the right freight lanes. Plus I stay with light loads (less than 20K). Not hard to do and definitely not BS. I'm running AVG net rate for all miles of 2.26 and my profit before tax is 1.09 per mile.

 

Oh yeah...I'm sure there's a rash of drivers tripping over themselves to get to Denver now!

 

Point taken forty.
