There isn't any.
I subscribe to DAT connect and my phone isn't ringing much.
The LS BCO's get more than an outsider gets for pulling the same LS load. Been there done that.
What are the odds of 2 Landstar drivers piking up identical loads, at the same place, going to the same place, for different amounts?
If it is 2 different agents running for 2 different LS branches, I'd say the possibility exists.

I've talked to a few drivers. One who had been sitting for almost a week at the Lowes distribution facility and another who was only given junk.

As far as the LS load boards, I'm an approved carrier and have an account on there and have hauled loads for them.

Technically LS doesn't have any drivers because LS doesn't own any trucks. They're smart, they only own trailers.

I don't know exactly what you're asking, but we are an independent carrier that is "LS approved" and we pulled a bunch of loads for LS a while back at $5/loaded mile. The BCO's (LS O/O's) that pulled the same loads got more.

The driver wasn't "given" anything. He chose the load he hauled, as LS has no dispatch system. :roll:

You don't have access to the BCO load board. :lol:

The load board you have access to requires no registration to access. Just for comparison sake, I checked the load board you have access to for flatbed loads within 50 miles of Chicago loading tomorrow, and got 90 results. I did the same search on the BCO load board, and got 115 results. The results weren't even the same loads. :roll:

I'm logged onto the Landstar board right now with my Landstar carrier number. I've been approved since day one with them.

Speaking of owning trailers, allow me to digress a little.

John D Rockefeller felt that the railroads were charging him too much to move oil. His solution was to buy all the railroad cars he could get his hands on and had all the manufacturers building cars for him.*

There is more than one way to control freight I guess. Smart guy that John D.

Well, for someone who hauls loads for $.65 cents per mile I'm not surprised you don't know the address.

It's www.GoJumpInTheLake.com
