    Landstar does not excite me, although there is a local broker that I thought about going to see. If he has a good local customer base I might think about it. Honestly, I'm starting to get discouraged a bit. What was once a very profitable and relatively simple proposition, has taken a very ugly and competitive turn. I feel like there's a lot of games being played and a solo O/O doesn't stand much of a chance........and it only seems to get worse. Tennman was right a long time ago.......

    mostly, during the good weather months anyway, I run wild. In the winter I stick to the southern states

    Getting my own authority is my last resort.
    Would like to find a carrier that doesn't pay peanuts but that's hard to find (excluding flatbed).

    midwest most and some Northeast.
    Which is just as bad as the Southeast at the moment.
    This is becoming unbareable... now having to deadhead hundreds of miles just to get any load. That never use to happen before.
     
    TennMan and Home_on_wheels Thank this.
