Sure there's good money in reefer. And in flat. And in dry freight. And there's crappy money in all of these too. The jackazz above pulls $1.20 freight and bitches on a board about how bad things are. He needs a wake-up call. Business isn't easy, pal. It's hard. Nothing is handed to you. You have to work. Get creative. Read a book and learn something. I'm calling agents every day. When I know I'll be in a certain region on Friday without a load, which is unusual because agents call me quite a bit, I'll start calling Monday or Tuesday. I remind them my equipment is late model so their freight won't be late while I'm in the shop broke down, I remind them that I treat their customers like they are my own. I send agents my business cards. I have a little calendar I mail to my 20 best agents with my name, truck and trailer number, and phone number. After every completed load I hand-write a thank you note and mail it to the agent. How many out of 10,000 drivers do you think does that? One? Two? Maybe. Half the game is acting like you give a flip. Set yourself apart from the 95% of the world that is ordinary. Or stay negative and bitter like Mr. Buck Twenty and see where that gets you.

Post some of your recent rate cons up tho . That 3.50 a mile out of laredo lol
Right now the best reefer freight is out of California, New Mexico (onions), and Nogales (melons). There's $3 reefer freight out of all three on the board. I don't pull that cheap $3 crap unless I need to get somewhere though. Not worth my time. Laredo to Canada is pretty good right now but you won't see any of the good stuff on the boards. The Canadian drivers are all over that and if two loads pay the same the one I'm taking is the freight staying in the U.S. Less hassles. But I do occasionally go to Canada, especially if one of my agents begs and throws a stellar rate. Laredo to the Seaboard will be hot in June and July. The spring and summer can't touch the winter. I work 7 months straight when its cold. The next two or three months I'm at the lake a lot blowing off steam from the long winter. But produce freight can be almost as good as winter hazmat. It's just spottier.
I ain't posting any rate sheets or cut and pasting anything off the LS board. Nice try though. You can do that if you want and see how Landstar responds. Why don't you post all the $1.20 freight and see if Jacksonville calls. It's not called a proprietary board for nothing. Nor is it password protected for schitz and giggles.
Have you ever in your life said the words "I can?"
Or are you just predisposed to always reflexively think and say "I can't?"

No ones begging you to take freight you psycho . Lol. Land Star millionaire
We always said, get it while you can. If it's really that good and you're talking rest assured others are working on getting in.
Happens all the time to the most reliable drivers with great equipment who have the confidence of their agents. It never happens to you I'm sure. I'm willing to bet one of my houses that you've never spent an extra 10 seconds to hand write a thank you note to anyone about anything ever in your life, so no there aren't any agents that would view you as indispensable on a critical load where the agent might lose a very profitable customer if the driver screws up.
But why listen to me? You already know everything. Like I said I was you more than a decade ago. Thank you for reminding me what a negative ugly know it all azz I was. Never want to go back there.
But you are right. You can't. So keep pulling your buck twenty freight and good luck with that. The whole world is stacked against you and crying about it in post after post on an open board will surely improve things apparently.
I may not be a Landstar millionaire but I'll be back working on it on Tuesday. For now I'm watching a girl in a string bikini riding a wave runner while I drink an ice cold Pale Ale on this magnificent holiday weekend at the lake. Life is good.
Now you will post another negative thing about Landstar and your lot in life and how things are too hard to be successful. How do I know you will? Because that's what negative, know it all me would have done 15 years ago.

And I'm sitting in Alaska, for anther week.. Oh wait I'll be driving down to Homer for the next week. Halibut an Salmon fishing then ferry to Kodiak for a delivery to the Coast Guard. God I love getting paid to travel the United States.
I guess a facial, hair style and capped teeth took care part of the problem.

Personal attacks are by definition off-topic. Please stay on topic.
Sheesh
What a shame you think of yourself as merely a "steering wheel holder."
But you are right, $1.20 per mile for a steering wheel holder about covers it.
Hey our local Walmart is hiring greeters.
