Where is the backhaul

@keishawnmcdonald8065 3 ай бұрын

I ran the Walmart account when I was at Landstar and loved it! I worked at the DC out of LaGrange Ga! I ran from Tuesday thru Saturday and was off on Sundays and Mondays! Pay was consistent and your entire week is planned on paper when you report to the traffic window on Tuesday morning. The loads were drop n hook and never heavy! I’m sorry I don’t remember the agent code but they should be able to provide it to you at the nearest terminal. They had a sheet with the agents for dedicated accounts. However, I will say that drivers that have been on the account are called every week and given first dibs before any new drivers will even be offered a spot.

What’s up bro I watched your videos, I’m signed on to a carrier that pays 1.50 per mile plus fuel surcharge and drop pays(all drop and hook) running 2800-3200 miles after all fuel expenses and ins I’m grossing 3200-4000 I think I’m doing pretty good, especially bc I have a dispatch I don’t have to pay and also don’t have to rent trailers. You have O/O with a handful of carriers should I stay where I’m at? I’m pretty happy but they don’t have the best trailers but all drop and hook and I’m making what I listed above and no issues with home time in fact I can switch to local anytime I want with about 20% less miles of course

Bro remember $1.24 is your break even ( Cost per mile is big calculation with conservative numbers on variable and fixed costs per month assuming you run 2500 miles/week). So its safe to assumed $1.24/ mile is your breakeven. If you got $1.8/mile, your doung $0.6/mile profit. If you are running $2.5/mile then $1.25/mile profit. Now you can find your breakeven by how many miles you run per month on average and "add your variable and fixed costs". Then divide the costs/miles ...that right there wil gie youyour breakeven.

100% correct. There's plenty of reasons "their favorites" get the best freight, usually because they've developed a history of delivering damage free on time, every time, no excuses, no accidents, no tickets, etc.

Those are not good calculations! The fuel surcharge is almost never discussed in the rate. Call a commercial broker (not a Landstar agent) and start talking to him about the fuel surcharge; 99% of them won't know anything about it and they do not care! Landstar is taking the fuel surcharge out of the actual freight rate and then adding it after the 65%. That 65% should be calculated on the actual original freight rate and then the fuel surcharge should be added! Landstar knows that the fuel surcharge is a non-issue to brokers! They know that! This is just another manipulative strategy to steal from the guy who has all of the expense! All these damn companies manipulate the fuel surcharge! Prime doesn't even pay the entire fuel surcharge; the last I heard is that they only pay 72% of the total fuel surcharge! Under those conditions, Prime is even worse than Landstar! They are continually stealing from the people who work the hardest! This is absolute bullshit!!!
