What went poorly?
  • Poor Dispatcher Communication
  • Double Brokering

It is very hit or miss. I only use Landstar if BCO. Many agents lie and simply post my loads for a lower rate. Paul from the LHT Agency was the most recent one to get busted. Absolute last resort carrier for me.

Booked load with Eric. He told me they were using a Landstar asset truck only to find out that they did not.

Dislikes

They double brokered our load with a carrier who would not have qualified in our system to take this load. Load missed deliver by 3 days and bad communication throughout.
