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

    3500 a year for general liability is crazy cheap!

    I'll get my own numbers as well, but I may or may not use it. My cousin will certainly use it.

    Negative. Do company van at LS. This load right here was preloaded. Drop & hook near the house. $3.83 mile.
    Now out of that it's not 65%, cause I get 100% of the FSC, and 100% of unloading.

    So LS's customers are calling you and offering you runs. And that 3.83 is BEFORE LS takes their 65 percent?

    There's several times I've talked to guys that were mother ####ing LS, blah you're dumb, you give them all that money, and I'm still making more on the same load, with a fraction of the overhead, and our load board is averaging 50,000 loads a day now, just van, I have the rest filtered out.
