Landstar Questions

If you get on a good dedicated run I see no problem. It would be tight during the slow times but it's doable for a single guy.

 

In that situation I say stay where you're at. What I've found as I get older is trucking to me is more about job satisfaction and not so much about having the highest pay.

 

Ya, because it’s some random LandStar O/O who’s responsible for you not getting paid.

 

I've read about 10 pages and did not see anything about my question so here goes.
I have leads to have my own customers. This would get me out of my home state.
Would like to lease to Landstar and push everything through them. does this mean that I would get the brokers cut of my loads plus the drivers cut and still be able to broker loads that I could not Cover for my customers

 

You could become an agent also as well as driver. I think(im not sure) your customers have to generate a certain amount of revenue.

Or find an agent that you can trust and allow then to find trucks(you) for that freight.

 

Only if you become an agent too. You'd be more likely to be able to find an agent and push it through them and get them to break out more of the rate at 100% for things like loading or a better FSC. It can be done.

 

Thanks I didn't know there would need to be a certain amount of revenue produced

 

Yea I believe that in order to become an agent, you have to bring customers that generate a certain amount of revenue.

 

Can I make money at landstar, living on the jersey turnpike, just running in a 500 mi radius, from Boston to Baltimore? ??

 

Are you making money now?
