100% Freedom. 100% Non-forced Dispatch

Become Your Own Boss and Choose Your Own Loads with Competitive Rates

Other trucking companies dictate what you must haul, when to haul it, and how long you stay on the road each week. However, this is not the case with Landstar. When leasing on with Landstar, you get to be your own boss. You decide how to run your business, choose the loads you haul, select whether to use your own trailer or one provided by Landstar and determine when to be home. Landstar is 100% Non-Forced Dispatch; we do not force loads on any driver. You are in control of your success.

Weekly settlements & fuel advances

Landstar owner-operators receive weekly percentage pay settlements delivered for one week, ending approximately three days before the designated settlement day. In 2018, the average gross revenue per truck was $178,000.
Percentage pay vs. cents per mile

Instead of chasing miles, Landstar owner-operators earn 65% to 75% of each load they haul and maximize their earning potential by choosing their own loads.
100% of fuel surcharges and tarp fees

Landstar passes 100% of fuel surcharges, and tarp fees to its owner-operators.
Available loads

With Landstar’s Load Board, you never have to worry about finding an available load to haul. With access to multiple loads daily, downtime is less likely. While you are unloading, our Load Board works behind the scenes to find other loads near your location. You can choose to accept or decline these loads based on your needs. Additionally, you can save a search to receive notifications for loads that match your specifications.
