Quick Landstar question, Load Securement Training

Landstar wasn't around when he learned flatbedding. He so old, he was trained by Wells Fargo and running the Pony Express westbound.....

 

Where did he say he's making $6 bucks a mile?

 

I had no formal training, learned in the oil patch in the early seventy's,
It's all common sense, but it seems there is very little of that left.
Who said you can't make $6 a mile?

 

That's me, I learned riding with my granddad in the 70's early 80's.

I met you Tuesday afternoon in East Tennessee on I 40. I was headed east bound, tried to shout on the cb but had blown a fuse and it wasn't working...

 

Yep they have a two day session, from what the told me I could take it as many times as I felt I needed if I were to go platform. I'm too old for that crap....

Now as far as the freight money goes.... with a van home based in WA, I booked an averaged of $2.16 per mile all miles last year (96k miles). netting $1.63 to the truck all miles. Of course I stay outa the east and Midwest cheap freight unless I get bribed to come off the west coast. I don't sit unless I want to.

I would hope that a platform in your area could do better than me on the $/mile game.
The down time between loads would be a concern.
I tend to look at revenue per day to decide if I want a load..

 

WhoopNride, Is this what you saw?
I'm embarrassed, my first load all month under $6 a mile (just barely)and someone saw me hauling cheap freight.

 

The shame!!!

 

I really didn't pay attention to the load, just recognized the Petercar. I think it was around the 40/75 split west of Knoxville.
