Percent pay @ Landstar vs Schneider Choice

I just want to say this nd then I am really done...you say Bill is biased against Landstar and is a salesman blah blah blah....why when I was waiting the 16 day period for my authority to be activated and talking to others about wich insurance to choose I was leaning towards OOIDA and Bill suggested I not make that move due to the fact I would be cut out from Landstar loads (because your beloved carrier does not accept OOIDA insurance...but you got all the choices) never did he try to push F2F or any other place he purchased a truck, trailer, insurance (i.e. Rutheford) We are all in business here and bounce ideas for discussion but your venom towards him is really confusing to me

 

Keep telling yourself outside carriers are hauling your freight cheaper than you. Or hauling bad freight no LS BCO wants. I've seen BCO's making more gross than me but end up 30 cents less a mile to the truck than me. Foolish to sit there and think outside carriers work cheaper than BCO's.....that is a 2 way street my friend there are many cheap BCO's willing to work for peanuts.

 

So because you failed to do proper research, Bill is a saint for telling you LS won't accept OOIDA's sub-standard insurance? It has been a well known fact for many years, that OOIDA insurance does not have the minimum A.M. Best rating required by LS. LS will accept any insurance meeting, or exceeding that minimum, and there are plenty of companies to buy from. Many with lower prices, than OOIDA, I might add.
I have no venom, but I do have facts and background information that most reasonable people would use to steer clear of risking their money and livelyhoods with those dealings.
As I've said before, do your research thoroughly, then decide. There are plenty of good, solid, companies out here, just as there are plenty of not so good companies.

 

If there's "no venom" - than how about just LEAVING WELL ENOUGH ALONE ALEADY?

So, you are telling me that you go and book a load, from a LS Agent, that the gross money to LS is $1000 and is brokered to F2F for $800, which in turn, after F2F gets his (10%) $80, paying you $720, is more than the $780 (approximately with fsc) a BCO, pulling his/her own trailer gets, with the same load? BTW, the BCO doesn't have to shell out any of his/her money for public liability/cargo insurance, it was already paid for in LS's cut of the revenue, unlike F2F's.
Where can I buy such a calculator? It would be a great gag gift at a party.
Never said it wasn't a two way street, this is true. But, I have witnessed many Indies running for less then LS BCOs. Way too many Indies try to compare their revenue to what a BCO is making, instead of comparing their revenue, as a Motor Carrier, to LS's revenue, which is the Motor Carrier.

 

Just trying to educate the younger generation on how to avoid some of the pitfalls those of us in the older generation have either seen or experienced. There are plenty of good companies out there, as well as bad ones. It's hard to decipher between the two, unless you know what to look for.

 

????? Your funny....Have fun!
