OK I have been pre approved with Panther, FECC and Landstar. My issue is which one will keep me the busiest. I have read a few posts regarding the same subject but they are old. Does anyone have any news to shed?
I am solo, driving for owner. Not sure sprinter or can. FECC owner has can, and Landstar has sprinter. I live in san antonio and would like to get home every 2 weeks for a few days.
If your good on the phone Landstar might be your best choice,but it's hard to go home that often and still make money.

How happy would you be if you were only home 2 days in March ?
Long as i pay bills i will be happy
Of the ones you mentioned they probably all have freight. There is more to consider, the fed and panther are probably plug n play easier to start earning. They both limit solos miles on a load. LS probably pays more but takes longer because it requires building relationships with multiple brokers to really get in the flow.
You also need to consider what kind of deal the van owner is offering, the shape of equipment, how they are outfitted etc.

I want to be a doctor but I'll go to medical school after I open my practice.
I want to be a lawyer but I'll go to law school after I argue a bunch of cases.
I want to be a plumber but I'll study plumbing after I buy tons of tools and tear apart a ton of pipes.
I want to be a musician but I'll study and take lessons some other time after I make lots of noise.
You don't want to hear what I have to say but just in case someone else reading at some point is interested here it is. Anyone interested in this career needs to approach it professionally. That means getting an education just as one would do for any other career. Now, there isn't a university or technical school with textbooks and classrooms and semesters but there is EO. Anyone interested in this career should read back at least 3 years in each of the general, newbies and recruiter forums. That doesn't mean you have to read every single word but do read every single thread title and read all of every thread that seems at all educational and informative. That will give at least a basic foundation and enough knowledge and information to make informed decisions about this career. Now, if all one wants is a job with no guarantee of success or satisfaction there's always "Welcome to Walmart.".
