    The positive side of this is if you survive on 1.15 cpm you cant do worse. So if you have any of that truck left any move should be positive, like lease to Schneider or something

    Schneider has the Choice plan where you choose your loads from their load board. It's a great deal.

    I don't recommend Landstar. Landstar was a trucking company..years ago but now it is a sucking machine ..sucking the money out of the owner operators and giving nothing..
    For instance, Landstar acts as your insurance agent, purchasing group plans..and when you read the fine print..you bought nothing. Landstar "brokers" cheap insurance, charges you and then posts PROFIT on your premiums through a subsidiary, Risk Management..Acting as agent for both buyer and seller...what a scam
    What kind of sleaze is that? I wouldn't lease on with them without an attorney reading everything and a bookkeeper to double check all the settlement sheets
    And if you have to spend all your free time watching that you aren't ripped off..then why be in business with them?
    All those "landstar profits" come out of the BCO's and I can guarantee, the BCO's dont' have a profit margin like Landstar corporate does
