When I saw 21-0 at halftime Ithought “Is this a prank where the teams switched uniforms to see if anyone would notice”?

I Expedited 10 years but I never entered the typical lifestyle. My “worst” conditions were a new Volvo with a 72 inch ARI. 500 hp. People felt sorry for me in the 72 inch sleeper. Dinette, 2 burner cooktop, large fridge, convection microwave, Direct TV, Espar ( or webastco ) Onan, roof air, and...

They should care a lot. I hauled a lot of CHR loads at Landstar. Mostly barrels of Hazmat. CH gave them to LS because of thier performance standards, tracking ability, and CSA scores. If a load disappears, would Dow Chemical be happy with CH if they found out it was being transported by...

Boy, multiple day stay in a rest area. It is a lifestyle. One I’m glad I missed.

Take the $70-$80 per year job. Bank $35-$40 per year for a year or two. Then do what you want. Or are you too lazy ? I just retired. I have money in the bank. A Teamster Pension. At 66 I’ll draw about $2200 per month SS. Why wait until 66 to draw my SS ? So I can make unlimited income. I...

I’d like to see K Mack be the Super Bowl MVP this year. I don’t care who The Bears beat. Or beat up,

Are you adverse to becoming an employee?

Raise the pay and see if the work ethics improve.

Congratulations to Chris Cain , the first owner I ever drove for, for having the wisdom and foresight to add some 2019 large sleeper Volvos to his fleet.Looks like Onan for comfort and they have showers. They’re pictured in the Classifieds looking for teams, either at FedEx or Panther...

Terry, you’re always full of knowledge but on this I think you’re buying into some bs. I don’t believe a word of it. It doesn’t hurt, but I don’t think it helps very much. I think being in the right place at the right time and saying yes get the ball rolling. Then do a perfect job. The agent...

You already know the answer to the problem.

Stay and die at Landstar. Or move to a new carrier and die there. I had lunch a month or two ago with a straight fleet owner at one of the big 3. He was hesitant to come to Va because his worn out M2 has trouble pulling hills. He’d been in a hotel because the AC didn’t work. As we walked...

This is not a Landstar problem. It’s an industry problem. Or maybe only a problem for contractors in the van segment. Cheaper people are entering the straight segment. It’ll put pressure on straight drivers, but not as much or as fast. Higher entry costs and HOS will keep them from running...

History repeats itself.

When a driver shows up with a straight there would seldom be a dimensional or weight problem. Seems a safer bet for all involved. And other issues as stated wouldn’t become an issue at all. And of course, no van driver to deal with. JK.

The answer to your question is YES. If you need to ask, you’re not ready for your own authority. Go sign on with 1 legit company and learn the business. You can thank me later. Tell us alittle about yourself, your experience, and your equipment. You may get pointed to a good carrier. Or not.

Rags, you are correct. It was directed to the AC guy that bought two trucks but doesn’t know why.

I was thinking the original plan included a driver. Then I thought Andy might have suggested two trucks allow you to run two logs in the ELD era. The reason people say sell is to limit your loss. If you sell now, at a $5000 loss, you’ve only lost 5k. If you try to operate them, you can lose...

So I can pull my CCW and shoot someone because I perceive them as a threat? Hell, if that was the case.....I'd end up shooting someone once a week. Sounds like someone that should NOT have a CCW.
