Landstar gets a 35% broker fee???
Seriously....why would any o/o do that...what do they offer to full time contractors to even begin to justify that???

liability insurance and billing with basically factoring…….

I don’t think their worth it but some do.

You are required to be in compliance, you aren’t required to switch your log to run Canadian HOS. I should’ve worded my reply better. I never switched mine even if I was up there for a couple days because then I knew I was legal when I crossed back into the states.

Yes my wording was off also, in compliance is the requirement...you don't need to switch your log over.

In your op you said what you’d be paid After Landstar takes Their 35% cut
Do your getting .65 on the dollar of actual load rate.....
Standard Reputable broker fee is 8% mind you I said reputable.
So I ask again....What does Landstar Give their contractors...that justifies 35%

It really does pay for its self. I really appreciate all the help they give me with hazmat and permits. And 80 cent fuel discounts at some places.

If your not allowed in Canada now and your thinking of working on it….. I’ll assume you have a record and Canada won’t let you in. Good luck on getting that fixed , it can be done but it’s quite a process. And you’ll probably need an immigration lawyer…….

p.s. those rates ain’t high enough for those runs……
