    You can still pick one of the other on-line date. I believe they do it every couple days

    I'm in a lease purchase with.... a company out of MS. I am making it work for now. Thankfully it's a walkaway lease because the miles are suckin' hind tit! Looking at going with Schneider's Choice program. A one year lease and get to pick my loads. I understand that its not LS, but, I think it will give me valuable experience to go that route in a couple of years. Comments? Flames?

    Not everybody wants to buy a truck.
    A one year lease is a good test run to see if you like/can handle running your own show.

    I notice how fast the lady running the load board search is very quick to go to the next person. She point out how many loads are available. Look at the video and look at RPM Rate Per Mile some of those loads a pretty cheap $1.57. Notice how everyone was only interested in all the loads available. Nobody seemed to notice or had the time to notice the RPM.

    There are always cheap loads on any load board. The high paying ones disappear after one of the first callers take it. The low paying ones stick around all day. That's load board 101.

    Alex my Friend,

    It's Not about "HOW MANY MILES YOU CAN RUN"....
    IT'S ABOUT HOW MUCH REVENUE YOU GENERATE/KEEP....

    At Landstar, It's All Up To You. The Loads are there for You to Pick. If your happy with $1 Freight, Yes there is freight like that to pick and LESS.
    IF you want more $$ There is that too.
    NO ONE AT LS WILL FORCE YOU TO TAKE ANY LOAD YOU DON'T CHOOSE, FOR A RATE YOU DON'T WANT.
    It's All Up to YOU. CHOOSE WISELY.
