    Landstar keeps bigger % but we’ve thought about landstar or Mercer.

    We paid cash for our truck and working for hardly nothing. I’ll be glad when I have 3 full years of driving I think more opportunities will open up

    Don't look at %, look at total revenue.
    90% of $1.00 is 90 cents.
    80% of $2.00 is $1.60....

    Landstar may or may not be a better fit, but looking at just the percentage is the wrong way to look at who you lease with.

    I know of a company paying 1.80 per hub. Not gonna lie that 1.05 plus fuel is horrible. Especially for the Midwest!
