The secret to landstar is to be familiar with the app"Load alert".
The load board should be your last resort.
When high paying loads hit the board its first come first serve.
Your phone in your hand and dial the agent asap.
if the money is good you negotiate and discover if you can do the load or not.
Email posts faster than phone notification.so set up email notifications.
When agents offer you loads usually no-one wants to do them .
Don't accept them unless you are desperate.
preparation is money profit. Make sure you use the fuel cards for fuel discounts.
Before you start driving for Landstar know the App that's money in the bank.
There are some facebook groups that are from landstar drivers .they will help you.
Know the rules and if you follow the rules you will love Landstar.
Good luck
