I'm leased with LS.
LS is a perfect fit for those that either had their authority and quit or those that can't stand dispatchers, I fit in both categories. If you are thinking of leasing on wait, freight is terrible both in volume and revenue and given the time needed to learn the system I think it would be very tough to get started in todays climate.
As for LS's policies, they're Nazis. They make jump though hoops signing on and a phone call from Jacksonville is never good, you learn real quick to let any call from 904 area code to go to voice mail. The majority of the compliance and safety people have no clue what we do out here and they don't care to, if the computer says you screwed up then that's that.
Customer service will stand behind you if you are in the right, LS is all about safety. If you have an issue with an agent or customer that can't be resolved and you haven't done anything to create the problem c.s. will stand behind you, at least that has been my experience.
I had a good Jan., I worked one week in Feb. and sat for most of March. April has started out ok but looking at the board and talking to agents that I like to haul for it sounds like things are drying up again, I manage to find good paying freight but it takes more time these days.
Hope this helps some.
