Only Landstar makes the money while you'll get pennies:(
Pros
The only reason anyone wants on their own is freedom. Your freedom comes with a high price with this company:(
Cons
Agents lie and cheat the drivers. 70% of their freight never makes it to the load board -- agents hoard the good freight for their trucks or favorite drivers. Landstar charges you fees up the wazoo -- they nickel and dime you for everything. Landstar acts like god when enacting new rules on their whims:( I was here 16 years and wouldn't look at these people again! Actually, I wouldn't be an O/O again because the agents make the money:( I pulled one load that was double brokered. It wasn't paying me great -- about $1400 before Landstar took their cut. I found out how much the load actually paid. That 1st broker took $1000 for what -- making a few phone calls. The system is rigged against the honest person:(
