ch robinson vs landstar-who pays better

currently running two trucks(solo-dry vans) doing robinson and other "going broker by the minute" freight. heard a tale that doing the 72% gig with your own box over at landstar would actually net more and the loads were more available??? any truth in this or am i hearing another fairy tale that you hear so often in this biz? each truck is running 13k miles per month but now with the rates so low(especially northeast),i'm losing money on a daily basis unless i strip my lease driver of his truck and put a "cents per mile" driver in it. need to hear from a landstar BCO running his own trailer on what the loads are actually paying to him in various areas-really need to actually see the BCO board so as to see whether the majority of loads are on the high side or the low side. $2.00 per mile would mean $1.44 to truck but if many if not most of the loads were $1.50 per mile then it's only $1.08 to my truck meaning my lease driver would probably not be too happy only making $0.90 cpm unless all loads had a fuel surcharge in addition to the rate that i could pass along to him. if you are a BCO who can help,please PM me on the real deal...i'm not going to suspend my authority and such only to find it won't make much of a difference-then it'll cost me big bucks to re-do the insurance and all the re-instatement fees and such.

 

in the past two weeks we are seeing less than $1.00 per mile out of the east going west and highest $1.41 from California going east. those landstar figures-is that before the percentage deduction? does that include the fuel surcharge or is it paid separarely?
