I’ve been with Landstar for 7 years. Landstar’s cut actually gets closer to 52% after all the deductions. Worker comp, ELD air time, bobtail liability ETC ETC. I grossed $199,667.42 in 2023 and my net after there cut was $103,474.30. And had $78,000 in fuel. $22,316 in maintenance (2021 tractor, 2023 trailer) and I DO NOT pull anything less than $2.70 a mile EVER.. you do the math. Boy I killed it. This guy is full of it.
After all our expenses we got about 50% back and that not including maintenance cause that month was non. Not every month will be the same. This video was just to show that is still possible to make money even on this horrible market we are in.
Not bad at all. Assuming trucks paid off, wonder how it would work for I financed a truck and leased on? Considering on coming over there with my girl.
Even if its financed is worth it. Just make sure you put a good down payment so your monthly payments are low… send me a email whenever you ready i can hook u guys up we our recruiter she’s really fast mrusatransport@gmail.com
It was a test to see how much we can make if we stay a whole month out on the road. We usually stay 3 weeks out 1 week home so we are probably not gonna make this amount anymore.
Does landstar accept older model trucks like a freightliner classic XL from 98 to early 2000’s? That’s the truck I’m looking to buy cash and get it leased on to landstar
Landstar takes 35% right? so 6495 load gross minus 35% is 4221.75 your column shows 2986.75 or this taken out what you use in fuel? Thanks you guys got me inspire to contract to Landstar but the trailer situation is scary ...
You wouldn’t waste your time leasing to landstar 🙏🏼. This is how it works. $6495 the line haul gross. Minus $1900 fuel surcharge ( landstar dont take commission off the fuel surcharge so you have to take from the total load amount ). So $6495- $1900 will be $4595 and this is the amount landstar takes commission. $4595-35% is $1608.25 that will make the total line haul $2986.75+1900 from the fuel surcharge. So from this load we got back from landstar $4886.75. If you have any other questions let us know boss 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼✅✅✅
This is reason why i been with Landstar 25 yrs. They Don t hide anything and you always get paid for load as long you put miles. You're right it not for everybody's ...i did $308k 2023 and im solo.
@@goodymob9638 oooook IRS boy 😂. I don’t have to prove you anything. There is a lot of people working at Landstar 20+ years. Dont you really think if was bad they would get their own authority or go somewhere else? Thats why is hard to get signed to Landstar.
@mrusatransportation I shouldn't have left, been here for years...LS just had pissed me off about something then my motor went out in my truck, so I had a lot running through my head, found out very quickly to simmer down and come on back home (LS) 😂
@mrusatransportation my bs offer was landstar. I left a good situation at prime taking home 3-4k every week just to take home 1500 for the first 6 weeks at ls. I'd say the rates are dog shit but that makes dog shit look worse.
You would need a year experience over the road in the last 3 years and you gotta have your own bobtail. Its a long process to get into landstar but its definitely worth the wait 🤑🙌🏼🙏🏼🫡

@@Mrfitness24726 yes… this is before taxes. This is just to show how much you can make in a month here at landstar as a team drivers. Not many places u can do this even gross.
THIS IS NOT NORMAL!!! I’m at Landstar, know 8 other BCO’s and NONE are making that. All of us have been here 6 yrs plus. From 2022-2023 LANDSTAR HAS WENT TO SHIT!!! Freight is paying half what it was. I’m looking for elsewhere to go. 90 % of agents that have popped up since 2021 speak English worse than this guy. Most are not even in the United States.. Eastern European crooks that don’t give AF as long as they get their commission. They have NO clue.. they have multiple agents fighting over the same freight and the rate continues to drop like a lead ballon.
Hahahhaha the funny thing is that my English might not be better than yours but im sure my pocket is full and im not baby crying. Your attitude just shows me why you’re struggling not finding good loads. Good Agents don’t have time for BS bro.

26k still have to subtract .15cent a mile for maintenance plus truck depreciation let's say 3k for this month. so probably more like 20k before taxes and this is no home time and no breakdowns.

I never said it was solo. It’s me and my wife together boss. I worked solo for a month and still did $34k gross. So not bad for the market we’re in now.
Bro, you should be getting team rates, not solo rates. The service on getting loads ran in half the time is an extra service. Those are bad solo rates. Your one bank account would look a lot better with two trucks running and not killing yourselves running day and night. 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
@@bcotrucker406 totally agree with that. But we just got to landstar and its very hard to get contacts in here since the one who controls the team loads only get people they know or reffer to them. We are on the hunt to get excepted in one of those agency. But could take years.

The % seems to be closer to 45% to landstar.
1st load 1600 is 45% of 2900.
The others seem to follow tha same percentage.

It’s about 50% after diesel and commission.
Its 45% but you have to add the fuel surcharge after
