    Mercer In my opinion Landstar is in love with themselves.Packard is also a very good outfit.

    Don't know anything about Mercer, other than rumors I've heard. But I am very happy with Landstar, and I definitely average more than $2/mile with my SD. Of course, I'm a bit of a rate ##### and don't do much of anything under $3/mile. Everyone has different experiences though. Best of luck!

    How long (if ya don't mind my asking?) have you been with LS? Are you able to stay busy enough year round to bring home decent money? My questions are because I'm trying to decide between LS and Mercer to sign on with before year's end. Thanks for your time. God bless and be safe.

    Niether. Get your own authority and keep 95 to 100 percent of your revenue.

    Thats the way to do it. Brokers never take more than 5% off the top and some give you 100% because they like you.
