Landstar vs Schneider Choice ( Comparison )

You feel important yet?

 

Because there are a lot of puzzy ### snitches out there

 

Honestly Coal,

The more you post the less I believe... How about showing us some of those rates.... Maybe something from one of those one time wonder deals you so proudly speak of..... That way you wouldn't feel like your giving up a customer... It's not that hard-If you're a real business man just scan it... One time is all I ask... Prove me wrong

 

If you cant afford to re-activate your authority why have it???? Insurance isn't gonna go down.... Your story of grandeur is hogwash!!!! You don't have enough saved for insurance down payment is how I see it.... Let alone enough to run your own company

 

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a brand new dry van it'll be paid for in full. Do you think I'm paying for it with delusions? I'm not posting that stuff on a public forum for the same reason no-one posts pay stubs. You want to see one and keep it to yourself not posting it up publicly, like those other guys did? What's your email? I'll even throw in a handful of rate confirmations. Not from my regulars of course. Just from some of the big boys where I dictated the rate and hammered them on random loads from load board land.

 

We had a taker. A settlement of $2.70 a mile to my truck @ 89% on 2,700 miles plus about a half dozen random loads from the likes of CHR, TQL etc who of course everyone knows will not pay $4-$5 a mile on any general freight hauls going any length of distance - hahahah! Those are the delusions that are paying for my new dry van.

 

Look at you all proud lol . Great you were in the right place right time as if any other uneducated steering wheel holder couldn't do the same job for cheaper lol

 

I always find myself in the right place at the right time. Funny how that works. Yeah I get undercut all the time just part of the business. I don't whine about it nor do I whine about rates. I just plod along and find another score.

 

I guess all naysayers who haul cheap think everyone is in the same boat......you cant convince em otherwise.....

 

Was never about that but a few took it upon themselves to accuse me of being delusional basically calling me a liar. Would run circles around any of them anywhere and for better rates too. Scared to book more than a couple of loads in advance, afraid something might cancel, amatuers.

Read some comments by a successful BCO in another forum that were pretty much spot on. Said EVERY load at Landstar was negotiable. Doesn't mean you will always get more money on every load. Sometimes they will tell you they simply don't have it. Sometimes they might go to the customer and ask for more or otherwise make more money happen. Sometimes they will ask you the driver "what do you need?" and then go submit that to the customer for approval. That latter option being one that an agent would run past a trusted driver that they had worked with and knew very well. In the past having had that exact sort of relationship with 3 different Landstar brokers I know what he's saying is spot on. Because even on the broker side some of them won't budge at all. And the good ones with the good stuff, will ask you what you need to run something and then go get it without hemming hawing crying etc.
