Landstar vs Schneider Choice ( Comparison )

Those high dollar rates are all east coast short hauls

 

I guess you will have to define what exactly a "short haul" is? Id rather run 3-400 miles a day at 3.50-5 per mile… vs 600 miles a day at 2.50-3.00 a mile…..

 

One time . Then burn fuel , get a hotel or deadhead . Inconsistent . Don't wool my eyes over. Sir , I've been at this awhile on all ends , go tell your fairy tale to someone else , cheers

 

you may have been at it long but, its obvious to all your not doing very well at it if your here complaining about your rates, those are your rates not mine. You don't see me on here complaining about rates coming out of miami…because I don't go there because although its possible to find something decent out of S florida, odds are its not gonna happen.

 

i was at land star a year and left to pursue other things , did well and currently I am doing very well for myself . 9 k land star drivers and you all I see is -

look at this load
or this one
not one posted record of a weeks real revenue
lol
Some #### never changes
let me know when you spot a new land star truck
it will be like discovering a new element

 

I do very well at the star…….not much else to say, some fail some make it……..some do better than others….

 

What do you average per mile on your odometer ?

 

It's all about bottom line and quality of life . I'd rather not stress over wondering whether it's time to feast or starve . There were a lot of freedom ideas that I liked about land star and I understand how to use the tools to figure out which lanes are hot , it's a seasonal thing , like Xmas trees in the NW in December . I just got tired of chasing freight . I have no truck payment , 100 dollars a month in workers comp , that's my only fixed expense now .

This is a trip to Indy that nets me 81 cents a mile . Always brand new equipment and a hotel every night. There are people in my business that make much more than that , consistently 3 k a week or more .

A two dollar a mile load at LS will pay 1.34 a mile to the truck . Fuel , at 6 mpg and 4 dollars a gallon , just rounding up, will cost about 65 cents a mile . Now we're at 70 cents a mile , - 6 cpm for maintenance , that's .64 , before a truck payment , workers comp. , major repairs ....deadhead .... cross your fingers no thanks
