Can I get access to Landstar’s loadboard?

I’d like to see it too.

 

you could possibly ask a recruiter. i was thinking about leasing onto a similar flat bed company at one time and i asked if i could see there load board and they sent me a log in, i couldn't book a load obviously but i could see what was posted on the board.

 

Landstar board isn't all that. I have access to their board as an asset based carrier. Like most other boards, the agents very seldom post rates.

So, I'm not sure what you would gain without calling the listing agent and negotiating a rate.

 

My sense is that unless you get your foot in the door with an agent or two and build a relationship with them, at 72% of the gross, it's really not all that great, especially with a van.

I called on one yesterday that was posted for 2 days on DAT. As soon as the guy answered ( from San Antonio) I knew it would be the run around.

Sure enough, guy says, "let me call the other company and see if it's still available."

I just hung up...

 

Is there a separate board for specialized freight like explosives?

 

Nevermind...
