Why pay Landstar over 30% of the load when you can have 100% with your own numbers?

I'm not hiring right now, my trucks are full.

 

He has a truck.

 

I only do employee drivers. If he or someone else want's to lease to the same carrier as me that is their right.

 

Landstar is a great deal. Hire drivers to haul the freight and buy the equipment. Hire brokers to find and bring in the loads. Take your percentage profit right off the top and distribute the rest to the drivers and brokers.

 

With LS I was always curious what gross and mileage that 70 % applies to. Are they hauling for gross rates above the spot market averages? If so, their 70% could be more than someone's 100% with own authority working with brokers. However, what the LS agents offer on general load boards is beyond minimum decency, so I hope their treat their owners better.

 

I’ve heard there military stuff pays well..... but maybe that’s just lunch counter talk.

 

This is America, you can do the same if you want.

 

I guarantee they have freight that pays better than spot market load boards.

 

Wait, thought you had your own numbers?

 

The big money stuff, BIG MONEY, is team freight. MUST be attended at all times.
There is solo military, and yes it pays very well.

But if you're an experienced AA&E team, Landstar will roll the red carpet out for you.
