Hard to get customer freight due to high operating cost.

Pros

You are your own boss and can work from home.

Cons

It is hard (next to impossible) to get freight from customers because of how much it costs to move a Landstar truck. If you DO end up getting some freight, who knows if you will even be able to find a driver to haul the freight for you. The BCOs are very reliable when they do take your freight, but you can hardly even get a driver to do something for you unless it's paying big bucks.

Satisfied with benefits, but not coworkers

Pros

Excellent 401k program and can not beat the health insurance which has access to Mayo Clinic. Vacation is standard, 2 weeks and goes to 3 after 5 years of service. You also have 3 personal day and one floating holiday to use as you see fit. Also, recently added 2 sick days, but you have to lose them or will not be paid at the end of the year. Has good break rooms with coffee and hot chocolate. Cafeteria on sight, but the food is sandwiches and chips. Don't have to travel for lunch. Saves time and most people don't mind if you eat at your desk.

Cons

Inability to terminate people who do not complete there job. Tend to look around them and wait for someone else to pick up the slack. You can post for supervisor jobs within the company. However, most managers already have someone in mind and the interview process is a joke. Also, you have an annual review. Difference managers have different concepts on how this should be completed. You can have a 2.5 in your department, but may appear extremely low when you attempt to transfer to another department. No manager seems to be on the same page. It will hurt your chance for a promotion.
