Landstar is great for letting you be you...you tell them you want to be out of service for x-amount of time and they wont bother you at all....and they seem to move freight through your area...jmho!

I haven't seen it mentioned so I'll throw it out there....could a steerable lift axle with an 8' spread of the drive axle be of any benefit? That would give you 40,000 on the rears and 12,000 on the steers and you'd be able to maneuver a little bit better in town. just a thought.

You're just not right Jim!

As for the lift gate and the tag/pusher axle. That's a judgement call that only you can make, I'll jump in and tell you a few pros and cons any anyone else who has input should jump in too. Sure that extra equipment can generate more money by making your truck viable and can sometimes get...

I agree! that's great business sence to say the least and I wish I'd thought of something like that to do but I didn't....but I'll keep that in mind though for sure! I never got a chance to even make any calls now that I recall because we were off to NM from Chicago before we made it to the...

Well I'll jump in here for a bit and add my 2 cents worth. We've been with the Star for about 3.5 years now and won't go anywhere else unless we decide to get our own authority sometime down the road and go that route. As for asking for more money!...yes we will at times because we know...

Hey 5MooreMinutes I noticed that you were being ripped off on your tax deductions so I thought I'd mention that you can only claim depreciation on a vehicle that you're purchasing not on a lease deal, also I'd like to say that you can claim every cent of payments made on a lease deal. I also...

I drove for DMW and they wanted to pay by % but we talked and they decided to pay me by the mile. What do you drive? or what will you drive? I went through the entire orientation at Express 1 and at the last minute and changed my mind, nice folks but not for me! DMW is ran by a bunch of nice...

I'M NO EXPERT ON THIS BUT I'LL TELL YOU WHAT THE COMPANY I DRIVE FOR WANTS AS FAR AS A DRIVERS LICENSE, FOR A CARGO VAN THEY REQUIRE A CHAUFFEURS LICENSE AND A STRIAGHT TRUCK DRIVER HAS TO HAVE A CDL WITH HAZMAT ENDORSMENT. NOT MUCH HELP I KNOW! I'D GO ON ASK THE RECRUITER FORUM AND ASK...
