I texted you a landstar freight bill. You can see for your self that load pays me, ME not gross but me, $4.07 a mi. $16,000 a month gross is EASY. $20,000 + is very doable if you are willing to ride. I don’t mean live in the truck either. I’m home every 7-10 days and there for 3-4 days before I go do it again.
I been with Landstar 3 years making damn good money running the way I wanna run. For each his own...you'll have somebody saying something negative about every company out here. I don't listen to other people I see for myself 10-4
@@victorbruce3315 i really can't say bro I don't run teams but it just depends on the rate you pull for. I pull loads that pay $2.50 and up. I don't go any lower than $2.50. Like he said you dispatch yourself here. So if you don't make any money its on you. I been an O/O over 20 years and this by far is the best company I've been with. But like I said for each his own. I run from Texas to Tennessee for $2500 which my cut is $1695 and I run back into Texas for the same rate and that's a 3 day run.
You failed math in school Travis. That's painfully obvious. 1695 x 2 = 3390 before expenses and taxes. How many people can say that do that, and have 4 days off a week?
Thats what I take in and its not because there's no freight its because I don't feel like working hard anymore. Thats 3 to 4 days running for me. If I wanna make more I run more. I know guys that are fine with 2k a week and others that make 4 to 5k a week. When I was pulling covid relief a was going home with 4k after fuel and other expenses.
Thanks brother I getting all you advised and already make 20k to 25k a month I only have 1 year and 5 months CDL I bought my truck with 9 months CDL,I recommend wait i least 2 years because have problems get insurance thanks!!!!!!!!
Another thing you have to consider is you can deposit left over money you deducted from your gross into your bank account as well. You can show you netted 3k and still have $800 on your fuel card that you can deposit
Just subscribe to the channel,i like how u show real time,real people and real pay from a truck driver. I'm currently trying to get my driving permit from school here in Chicago.wish me luck
What a great first interview! Paving the road for your kids so they don’t have to pay to learn it. That’s awesome! I have a colleague by the name of Jim McCune who said, “The things you do today that you don’t have to do will determine what you’ll have and who you’ll have become when you can no longer do anything about it.” How’s THAT for a T-shirt?!
Landstar was better money for sure but man they were a pain in the ass to deal with. Constant demands for paperwork and nobody checks their email. Once or twice a month usually my fuel card got cut off and I'd have to wait until the office people showed up to call and have them look for my email I sent. Finding a place that has a landstar certified inspector was a pain too. Hauling hazmat will get you pulled over like nothing else with random level 1s out your ass. I got 5 random drug tests within a year too. Good money but they don't make it easy at all.
I had recently signed on with Landstar 18 months ago when I first met you at the Dallas Truck Show. At the time, You wished me "Good Luck". Thank You for that, because I have had Great luck. To me Landstar = Freedom & $$. I go where and when I want for the money I want.. Did I mention freedom? I can work hard for 3 months if I want. I can take 3 weeks off when ever I want. I can book a load to Alaska and Canada whenever I want. Did I mention freedom? 🙂 Yes, I guess you could say that I'm loving "Landstar blue". I'm pretty sure that as long as I own a Truck, I'll be with Landstar.
@@Stuartthehobbytrucker interesting 🧐. I guess that means landstar has access to the better paying loads. Whereabouts are you based? I just can get over the fact that you have to give up at least up 30% of your gross for using their authority. But nonetheless I wish you the best.

Hey Alex, sorry sending negative energy your way. I'll try to be like you and be more positive. You always have great information and entertainment. We really appreciate you and need more TH-camrs like you!
Gritter, you're over thinking it. No 2 drivers/owners want the same thing. Yes, we want to earn a living. But not everyone requires the same $$. I'm near retirement, and like 1 year having my truck paid off. Once it's paid off. They're going to have to beat me or pay me to move more than I want to. One man's $2k settlement is anothers $6k settlement. Our needs are different. Always.
I've been at Landstar about 3 years now and I love it I wouldn't trade it for the world and exactly I net gross 4k to 5k a week and thats all I need and I bought a brand new KW t680 2017 when I first came here and I only have 14 months left to pay it off and I won't work much anymore after its paid off and like others have said b4 not every drive have to make alot of money when they dont blow money on things that they just want and not necessarily need. And most of all when their significant other makes just as much as they do
Alex I’ve been wanting to do owner op with Landstar(I have been planning on buying my own truck) but from what I gather I’m taking home $2000-$3000 a week,so I’m better off driving for someone else in their truck and going home for 2 days after 1 run out like I have been.
$2,500 a week after deduction is still poor... I'm not trying to knock your hustle, it's a business we deserve better pay especially if we run harder, all im saying is trackers are the ones not making the money we suppose, while the brokers getting their pay raised and don't want to give us our part. Stay blessed Truckerz!
Everybody knows don't run with landstar they take to much money....im at 90% of the gross on someone else's authority and they find my loads 8k to 14k weeks. My truck, insurance, trailer, fuel. It's the best way to go I could go 100% owner operator but my dispatcher is a master at loads, scams, rates, and is in with the best brokers so they are worth 10%
been with them about 6 years off and on. like he said if you get in the right lane, you can make in excess of 32000 a month depending on the market, remember whatever you want to do, it's up to you!!
Screw landstar and all brokers.why give someone else a big ass cut of your bread when you can take it all yourself ? They are all a bunch of blood suckers just like dealers “ stealers”. Company drivers be making $2500 as a owner you should be making at least twice as much you know what that means , it means landstar is a steeler.
Of course you can, the question is, can YOU make that, and that depends on YOUR particular variables, and the general market conditions. Many of you bellyachers should just stick to being company drivers.
Everyone wants to bitch and act like $2,500 net a week is something to turn their nose up at. It’s sad. Started at LS August of 2020 and my goal is $4,500 gross a week. Puts me right near $2,000 net. I try to do better, but I also work 4 days a week. Set achievable, realistic goals and base your numbers off of it. Make more, great. Make less, keep rolling. There will always be someone who knows better, does better, is better and all they want to do is make you feel like shit about what you’re doing. The best way to be a millionaire in the trucking industry is to start as one.
Not trying to be negative, but my opinion is that there are more ways to get into the trucking industry without actually being a trucker, or even owning a trucking company. Dispatching, working for a brokerage as an agent, insurance sales, bookkeeping, diesel mechanic services, so many to point out in fact.
@MHB 75 if you are a Rockstar broker maybe. Mechanic yeah but that jobs harder than trucking I think. The rest nah... unless you dispatch trucks you own.
Can make money driving for landstar. Made 5k last settlement, net. I make landstar videos because I believe you can be successful as an average driver. If i have any issues, I will post those too.
I’ve been with Landstar 3 years, and if you can’t make money here, you can’t make money anywhere and you should just quit trucking because it’s not for you. Period
I still can't see giving a middleman $50 -$60k per year to do IFTA and a trailer rental....that's profit that could be sitting in YOUR bank account. Does Landstar also do your taxes? Give discounted health insurance?
There's plenty of trucking companies that will put you though school to get your CDL. You'll have to go OTR for a while but if you are single without kids you can just live on the road not having to pay rent and put money in the bank. You don't make a whole lot of money for about the first year but it pays off. If you go over three years with no accidents or tickets you can pretty much get a job anywhere. I'm working a home daily making between $1200 and $1800 a week depending on what route I'm on. If you truly want to get into the industry do it as soon as possible because it will only get harder if you wait.
@@icedink87 I’ve had my class A since 2013 I just never got A experience I started driving a concrete truck and now that I’m in trucking food service this is how I’m gaining my experience to be able to do something else.
Is Landstar a good company, Yes. Is it for everyone, NO. In orientation they will tell you that they only hire 2% of all applicants. So many people apply, they can afford to be picky, so have a clean driving record when you apply, and one year of verifiable OTR experience. Landstar will contact your last employer, after they approve and qualify you, they only do it because the law requires they verify your last 10 years of work history, they won’t bother talking to your last boss, because they know bosses lie about employees especially when they want to quit. Landstar will accept any truck that can use an ELD and has a sleeper, sleepers are not required for hot shots. At Landstar there is room for growth, because you can pull a verity of trailers and they will train you on different trailer types. The number one reason people avoid / leave Landstar is the percentage they take, but you have to look at it in the proper way. Ok Landstar takes 35% of the gross if you use their “VAN” tailer please note this applies to “VAN ONLY”. A friend of mine was running a load from KS to TX, and he was being paid 90% of the gross at his company. I showed him a load on the Landstar board, pick up in the same city as his load, delivered in the same city as his load even the weight was similar, but the Landstar truck was paid $675 more after Landstar took 35% vs his company 10%, so I said “yes you are getting 90% but 90% of what”. Landstar has transparency they show you their numbers at his company he only got a piece of what the boss gave him, but he never saw the bosses true numbers. He said he always wondered why I was at home. At Landstar networking with Agents and knowing who to call is key, they cover this in orientation . I worked with the same group of Agents, I ran the same lanes. I would go out and run a triangle three total loads and would “BRING HOME” $5,000 + in a week and I did this twice a month. Now before you super truckers start in about the money, take a deep breath and keep reading. My “TAKE HOME” was over $10K a month, now I don’t know about your life budget, but “most people in America and the world can live on $10K a month, heck most people in America don’t even make $10K a month, and on top of that I’m “AT HOME”, for two weeks a month. So think of what your family life, marriage, home life, fishing life and time with your kids could be if you had that kind of income and home time. Now for those of you that need $25K a month to live, the Landstar Van trailers may not be for you so look into the Heavy Haul or Flat Bed divisions they make more, or if you qualify for AAE division they make even more, like I said room to grow. That driver / friend I spoke of, will be starting at Landstar in a couple of weeks, yes he was hired like I said only 2%. The only people who talk bad about Landstar are people who never worked for Landstar or bosses trying to keep their employees from going to Landstar. I met one driver who quit Landstar, because he didn’t want to dead head and I met another who “couldn’t make any money”, well it turned out he purchased his own “VAN TRAILER” for $6,000 and it was such a POS, that customers would not load him, he chose to purchase his own trailer because at Landstar you get an extra 10% of the gross if you have your own trailer and that applies to most trailer types I had to say most, because some trailers will get you an extra 13% of the gross. I won’t go into the extra benefits here because my post is too long already.
Landstar do not care about how old is your truck only care about must be all up to , and not deleted, i guess now this days all fucktup but I live in Canada for me is more harder but still doing good
i just talked to my friend he is driving for prime llc and grossed 225000, and net 75000 and thats driving a brand new truck with a brand new apu, they even do his taxes. he litterly only has to drive with no worries.
Can I work for Landstar as a company driver. I know landstar is a broker company. But I want to learn . How to book my own loads etc.. obviously looking into becoming OP one day I got 5 yrs of experience. Do about 3k to 4k miles per week.
You can. You would just have to find a driver that owns 2 or 3 other trucks that are leased on to Landstar and drive one of his trucks as a company driver.
Landstar fuel discounts alone bring that percentage up, plus product discounts (tires, shop/labor discounts, etc). Most guys focus on the percent and that is short-sighted
Stop think like a company driver. And start thinking like a business owner. I literally paid $3600 in business taxes last year. On my personal taxes, I owed $25 to the state. Got $1000 Fed back.
Owner operator should make at least $4000 gross a month for it to be worth it... I look it as anything over $15,000 a month gross it is worth it for you to have a good take home of about 50% if you have a truck payment.

You don't make a whole lot of money for about the first year but it pays off. If you go over three years with no accidents or tickets you can pretty much get a job anywhere. I'm working a home daily making between $1200 and $1800 a week depending on what route I'm on. If you truly want to get into the industry do it as soon as possible because it will only get harder if you wait.
@@icedink87 I’ve had my class A since 2013 I just never got A experience I started driving a concrete truck and now that I’m in trucking food service this is how I’m gaining my experience to be able to do something else.
Good stuff!!! Landstar Agency GOM
Hey man where can you buy that hat your wear? Also do you have some decals or something you sell? I want to slap a decal on the truck I just bought
Is Landstar a good company, Yes. Is it for everyone, NO. In orientation they will tell you that they only hire 2% of all applicants. So many people apply, they can afford to be picky, so have a clean driving record when you apply, and one year of verifiable OTR experience. Landstar will contact your last employer, after they approve and qualify you, they only do it because the law requires they verify your last 10 years of work history, they won’t bother talking to your last boss, because they know bosses lie about employees especially when they want to quit. Landstar will accept any truck that can use an ELD and has a sleeper, sleepers are not required for hot shots. At Landstar there is room for growth, because you can pull a verity of trailers and they will train you on different trailer types. The number one reason people avoid / leave Landstar is the percentage they take, but you have to look at it in the proper way. Ok Landstar takes 35% of the gross if you use their “VAN” tailer please note this applies to “VAN ONLY”. A friend of mine was running a load from KS to TX, and he was being paid 90% of the gross at his company. I showed him a load on the Landstar board, pick up in the same city as his load, delivered in the same city as his load even the weight was similar, but the Landstar truck was paid $675 more after Landstar took 35% vs his company 10%, so I said “yes you are getting 90% but 90% of what”. Landstar has transparency they show you their numbers at his company he only got a piece of what the boss gave him, but he never saw the bosses true numbers. He said he always wondered why I was at home. At Landstar networking with Agents and knowing who to call is key, they cover this in orientation . I worked with the same group of Agents, I ran the same lanes. I would go out and run a triangle three total loads and would “BRING HOME” $5,000 + in a week and I did this twice a month. Now before you super truckers start in about the money, take a deep breath and keep reading. My “TAKE HOME” was over $10K a month, now I don’t know about your life budget, but “most people in America and the world can live on $10K a month, heck most people in America don’t even make $10K a month, and on top of that I’m “AT HOME”, for two weeks a month. So think of what your family life, marriage, home life, fishing life and time with your kids could be if you had that kind of income and home time. Now for those of you that need $25K a month to live, the Landstar Van trailers may not be for you so look into the Heavy Haul or Flat Bed divisions they make more, or if you qualify for AAE division they make even more, like I said room to grow. That driver / friend I spoke of, will be starting at Landstar in a couple of weeks, yes he was hired like I said only 2%. The only people who talk bad about Landstar are people who never worked for Landstar or bosses trying to keep their employees from going to Landstar. I met one driver who quit Landstar, because he didn’t want to dead head and I met another who “couldn’t make any money”, well it turned out he purchased his own “VAN TRAILER” for $6,000 and it was such a POS, that customers would not load him, he chose to purchase his own trailer because at Landstar you get an extra 10% of the gross if you have your own trailer and that applies to most trailer types I had to say most, because some trailers will get you an extra 13% of the gross. I won’t go into the extra benefits here because my post is too long already.
Landstar do not care about how old is your truck only care about must be all up to , and not deleted, i guess now this days all fucktup but I live in Canada for me is more harder but still doing good
You can bring home 2,500$+ a week. But taxs😑😑😑eat up alot.
RIP Anek Hyde 🙏
You can actually make more
Het that true they say that you died in Colorado waiting in you truck for offload and you fall sleep and never wake up,that a joke right
Whats your email? I grossed $10,300 this week. Been with LS since november 2020.
What do you run?
@@shedrickparker1375 step deck
Somebody give me a top 10 list of trucking companies to lease on to as owner operator
Yard man style. Up up
i just talked to my friend he is driving for prime llc and grossed 225000, and net 75000 and thats driving a brand new truck with a brand new apu, they even do his taxes. he litterly only has to drive with no worries.
That’s terrible
@@truckeraj843 These guys don't understand. lol
So he spent $150000 on payments, fuel, taxes and repairs??? Damn. He could have stayed company for that
Is the truck a lease? Or finance? If finance then that's pretty good.
I hope this is a joke because your friend is losing big time.
How much team drivers make at Landstars?
Have you done a video on Amazon Relay yet?
Can I work for Landstar as a company driver. I know landstar is a broker company. But I want to learn . How to book my own loads etc.. obviously looking into becoming OP one day I got 5 yrs of experience. Do about 3k to 4k miles per week.
You can. You would just have to find a driver that owns 2 or 3 other trucks that are leased on to Landstar and drive one of his trucks as a company driver.
HI ALEX THIS IS MICHAEL BEHRLE FROM ST.ANN,MO. I WANT TO BY TWO,THREE TRUCKS,TRAILERS AND LEASE THEM ON HOW WOULD YOU SAY IS THE BEST
When your paying off the agent to get the loads
I was doing them numbers at prime inc
This video is from 3 years ago....I wonder if he is still a bco🤔
16,000.00 a month!?🤣🤣🤣If you can't NET 25,000.00 a month then you better leave landstar!!
Why do 65/72% with Landstar when you can get 85/90% elsewhere and book your own loads as well. YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK.
Where
Mag carriers is 90%. JRV is 85% and this are good companies where you can book your own loads if you want. Happy new year
Landstar fuel discounts alone bring that percentage up, plus product discounts (tires, shop/labor discounts, etc). Most guys focus on the percent and that is short-sighted
I make more than 20k gross in reefer.
That actually seems a little light. I made about $16,000 every 2 weeks, some weeks as high as $12,000 for one truck.
Gross or net?
@@ALCRAN2010 That is gross.

False. I have a 2000 Classic and I’m driving with landstar. As long as the truck can take the 6 pin ELD connector your fine.
No it doesn't. Theres a guy here with a cabover
@@MuthaTrucker he's wrong
I'm sorry. That was the lady recruiter mentioned me. It looks like every recruiter is deferent. But is good to know though. Thank partner.
You try to make a pathway but people keep interfering w peoples pay and life to keep them down … bs
Nobody has said a word about self employed taxes.
Stop think like a company driver. And start thinking like a business owner.
I literally paid $3600 in business taxes last year.
On my personal taxes, I owed $25 to the state. Got $1000 Fed back.
You want some more insight hit me up on Instagram man I got you
First non Asian Mai comment 😅
I make 20,000 gross at knight
Morgan Freeman's brother :)
Owner operator should make at least $4000 gross a month for it to be worth it... I look it as anything over $15,000 a month gross it is worth it for you to have a good take home of about 50% if you have a truck payment.
🤣 thats not bad
Jamaican rude boy 😎
