    there is allot of freight within TX. I run it the majrity of the time. There can be allot of deadhead between loads though so you have to make sure what you take pays very good. I try not to touch anything for less then $2mi that stays in TX. Also it seems everything out of houston is cheap

    AT nearly 9k contractors Landstar isn't exactly a small company. They just don't bug ya.

    Landstar will make you lazy. You best have the drive to keep your butt running because they will not ever tell you that you need to get to work. Alot of eople don't have the self control and end up getting so picy they loose there trucks
