    Hey ziggy- I was asking because I just wanted some input about what YOU might have thought of the run based on your fleet, since they were broker loads. I wasn't looking for a load sheet. Ferchrissakes.

    Not now it isn't. Landstar has over 200 flat loads listed. Many of them pay good.


    Remember what I told you about TX being dead from Thanksgiving thru March some time?

    Last friday there was no less then 12 landstar trucks sitting at the TA in Baytown TX. all but one were flatbeds. There was one row I didn't even drive down so there may have been more

    They were probably the "during the week truckers" :biggrin_25523: :biggrin_25523: :biggrin_25523:

    And the ones that don't haul for any thing less than $4. Let that $2.50 and $3 a mile rot on the dock.

    Sometimes I wish I had my own truck and trailer to haul some freight. I already know how to drive them just don't have a CDL.
