100% Freedom. 100% Non-forced Dispatch
Become Your Own Boss and Choose your Own Loads with Competitive Rates
With other companies, you are told what you must haul, when to haul it, and how long you have to be out on the road on a week-to-week basis. Not with Landstar. When leasing on with Landstar, you get to be your own boss. You run your business the way you wish. You determine which type of loads you haul when on the road pulling your own trailer or a trailer provided by Landstar, and when you want to be home. Landstar is 100% Non-Forced Dispatch; we do not force loads. You are in control of your success.
