Hello all...I'm new to this forum and am looking into expediting. I have a couple years experience in tractor-trailers,(dry vans and haz-mat tankers), and would like to ask a few questions about your side of the trucking business.
I'm trying to get ideas about how to make a living solo driving either a Sprinter or a straight truck and have enough control over my "business" that I can take time off as needed to tend to family and personal commitments.
I know that Landstar BCO's can schedule their own loads and time off,but I've only seen a couple of loads for straight trucks on their internet board,and nothing for Sprinters.
Are any of you driving a straight truck for Landstar Express?
Are there any other expedite companies who allow the truck owner/operator to schedule loads and time off similar to Landstar?
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I'm looking forward to your replies.
