Welcome to Landstar, we had a staright truck with LS for 6 yrs, until it was totaled in Feb. We made the money Phils talking about, but noone beleived us. we usually about 15,000 to 20,000 and took 1and a half to 2 weeks off each month. We are currently in a sprinter working the same and...

Here's some news for ya, Landstar is not a Trucking Company, nor a carrier, They are a brokering company. They own no trucks, (all trucks are owner operator) they only find and post loads. Express America offers loads to us drivers, but they can post them on load boards for anybody to take...

I think it is everyone, Landstar rates are way down, 1.09 for aa&e no way. Tried to get aloadout of El Paso not even for 1.10 was under bid at 1.05 gross. I think Expeditors are a dying breed, at least we are on the endangered species list. Ready to get out of the biz and plan to as soon as...

I saw the same signs alfalfa, corn, then a walmart bag cover the next sign, I always wondered where they got them from. On US1 between New Smyrna and Port Orange a sign read " Water on Road" under thet "when raining"

In Yosemite by the old pioneer village is the sign "Not a Through Toad" And how about in Washington outside of Seattle, its at the same exit as the TA on 90, the Sign reads "Dead End for 3/4 miles" question what is it after 3/4 mile? The original sign there read "Dead End for 2 1/2 miles"

I agree I never posted it here but I think your right on, the phins to win over the pats. They have nothing to lose. GO Browns, Go Buckeyes!!! Ken Leam 4474

Double Wow, I thought one of the two tops would lose and that would bump us to number 2, but I didn't think both would lose and put us at NUMBER 1. Nor did I ever think I would cheer for a team with the name Pittsburgh in it.

Okay I went to thedictionary.com site and here is their defintion for truck Truck–noun 1. any of various forms of vehicle for carrying goods and materials, usually consisting of a single self-propelled unit but also often composed of a trailer vehicle hauled by a tractor unit. 2. any of...

What is defined as a truck? The definition used to define truck driver says a person who drives a truck, so how do they define truck? Does it mean pick-up, something with six wheels or more, or any vehicle used to transport goods or cargo from one location to another? Ken

RE: availability ATeam this sounds like the next truck I want to get. I'm thinking about doing the same thing have a 18 ft sleeper and 12 ft box. We've been with Lea for 4 1/2 yrs and very seldom do we take more than 6 pallets, most of the time its 2 skids. We also do A&E for the last 2 yrs...

Landstar does have loads out west for both Teams and Singles, I just checked there are 5 trucks in CA 3 teams with loads and 1 single headed to Vegas. We have several agents out there that get loads and keep people movin, at least they keep us movin out there.

One more thing wherever you stay, when you get to the strip pay the 5 or 6 bucks for the Duece, double decker public bus system. The pass is good for 24 hours and goes from Mandalay to Fremont street. And drink plenty of water.

WARNING WARNING WARNING stay a way from Wild West its a dump, its also tied into a truckstop. Stay away from the old downtown at least don't go off fremont experience, bums, druggies, con artist, and strippers. That came from security at Nellis. If you want to gamble stay off the strip...

AA makes the one that has the long slanted roof, we bought ours at Columbus FYDA back in 05. Only one problem with ours, the original inverter went bad, they replaced no problem.

Had a great first day, looking forward to todays events. A few hot topics where covered, such as, qualcomm tracking of trucks, and the multiple violations that many drivers received. To my understanding the reason was that the system (progrqm used) looked for exact matches between log sheets...
