I hooked up my inverter(1200 x power)and it keeps turning off when I start the trk. Ran cables directly to battery, works great other than when I crank over the motor, she beeps and turns off. The above happens with nothing plugged into inverter. This is a fairly new inverter, always does...

Fox news talking about rains and flooding in lost wages. Hope you are dry and winning...Greg:) :) :)

I am confused by your post. Have you two decided to leave the business because of lack of revenue or lack of an exciting lifestyle that this career once offered you. I also miss some of the events you highlighted but we all have events in our life that we probaly would have not have had if not...

"Average Joe" here. My D unit and I have been back out since Aug 30 after some well needed time off. Been very busy and the money per mile has been fine. I only have "Ave Joe" 22 box/liftgate(no reefer or bombs etc) I did sit for four days in NJ because I wouldn't go north, my choice, sleep...

Fema is basically disaster-aid/relief. Landstar has had bulk of the Fema contracts for the past several years and nearly all the work has been as a result of the hurricanes. You need to be with leam and have the neeeded eqiupt and be in right spot when they are looking for trks. Hope this...

All good ideas. Throw your bike in back, I even know guys with scooters or big bikes they tote. My single best idle killer has been sat tv. Can be done real cheap with dish on mirror mount and if you have direct tv @ home, simply add a second box for about $6.00/mo. I spent $6800 for my...

Leo, pretty truck, however, it sounds like it was spec'd for Leam, not PII, r u coming back???:) ;) ;)

I have enjoyed running solo at Landstar in a D unit for the last year. The $ has been fine,well above your stated requirements, but that being said w/o knowing your expenses,i.e. trk payment. I have ran team in large trks before and NO THANKS. I enjoy sleeping on a stationary object;) . Leam...

On 9/25, the posted price @ Aurora, Ore was 2.75. The cost plus through Landstar's progam was 2.05 total, as I recall. No fuel tax credit, but I still filled up. In Mich the week before I saved .67 off posted price, however today @ Iowa 80 only saved .04, go figure. Also had about $650.00...

r u looking for straight trk teams for portland ore.. what is rate... year requirement for trk thanxs

As a retired police officer and disabled viet vet, I at first was really iritated at "doowops" comments. Then I remembered "walk a mile in my moccasains". Unclear of his background, but very proud of mine. Several dot types out west are non law enforcement, simply inspectors. If they find a...

RE: Feeling a little stupid about CA speed limit.. I stopped at the Donner scale on I 80 and one of those hitler types referenced in another post told me as long as tag is up, run with the cars but adhere to limitations on grades. He also said ALL CHP officers might not be aware of this...

Lisa Be glad it wasn't in Calif.. I heard those log tickets were $2100.00 at one time. Current article on Mich. trucker getting prison time for logs make it clear why those DOT types are out here. Imagine what some would try to do or get away with. No reason for rudeness When he realized...

What I like most about the company is the ability to just say " no'. If you don't want the load offered for any reason, it's that easy. Like Leo stated, it takes a while for agents to get to know your name and how you conduct your business. If they like the way you take care of their...

Just think, some people pay good money for this abuse. Greg ,your response reminds me of why I left wally world. "O.K" EVERYONE GIVE ME A W_A_L_M_A_R_T Cheer !!!! Corporate Bullshi# But about that spanking:) ...

I think we can all agree there is a learning curve involved at each company, especially at leam with the agent system we have. We can probaly also agree that it's not just other expediters that read these posts but also people looking to get into the business. I personally would like to be up...

Hi Leo I'm curious as to what your occupation was prior to truck driving. You had to be either an engineer or some type guy in the science field. I notice if someone asks something like what air pressure to run in their tires, you tell them the correct psi and then go on and by tell them how...

Rich My wife wears a size 14 work boot and if I just put her picture on the door the burglars will go elsewhere. In all seriousness, the sound of a Remington 870 12 gauge being racked in the darkness of the nite will make even the nastiest bad guy look for another victim. I believe in...

Hey Leo why we up so late? :) :) :)

As a police ofcr in S Calif in the early 80's, I can remember stopping veh.'s with illegals in them(10-15)and calling for the border patrol to come get them and being told to let them go. Never bothered with it anymore. I agree with the idea of fortifying our borders and doing all we can to...
