I heard Landstar Express America could keep an expeditors busy by hauling freight other than hotshot loads when they get slow. Is that true? Since the company I lease to is just expedite I was thinking of switching if that was true. Any Express America contractors out there that can give me a hand. ChrisH

I was with Landstar for 6 months this year and I was very slow.
Yes you can haul their sister company LTL freight but as a rule It does not pay squat. I did have a few that paid decent,but were in the 15,000 to 20,000 pound weight range. ( I have a tandem axle truck)

Hi you can get loads off there load board they pay 73% of the load or you can go to other boards and get 63% .But you gotta be fast they don't stay on the board long.keep inmind your dead head to the load and fuel cost.And maybe you can make a few bucks.good luck out there.....
