You asked if about "Home Time" with Landstar, we just go when we want and for long we want no questions asked. When we go Out of Service no one bothers us with load offers, unless we call specific agents and tell them to call us. You may want to check on your status with Panther, under Ohio...

I've thought about starting a web page or something for people to contribute to something like this. I like going to the casinos to eat, they esually have the best food. Lunch at the Ameristar in Kansas City is really good, Large varity and the price is decent for what you get. Parking is...

Is there an accounting program, a book, ANYTHING that will give me the basics on what I can deduct? I know the IRS has booklets, but they confuse more than help, I just want something to help me keep within the boundaries of deductions. Questions include but not limited to Clothes, food (per...

I think the lawsuit was initiated by ooida, wanting landstar to release how much they make when they sale or lease materials to the drivers, but it doesn't matter to me, if I don't like the price go elsewhere. Singles do pretty good, its more the lifestyle you'll like with LEAM. We take the...

LAndstar gets loads out to Portland quite often, we were there last month and we had an offer last week but was unavailable to take it, I talked to another team earlier tonight and they are headed to Portland. Yes we do get loads out of there, we have an agent in Portland getting several loads...

I Like it!!! Is that a 14 foot sleeper? He must run specialized freight and spends time waiting in safe havens waiting to be unloaded. The first thing I can see that I don't like is the low ceiling on the cab I'd prefer a stand up cab. The other thing is it's not mine, truck envy!

Moot - Like I said Landstar doesn't hold our hand, they treat us like responsible adults not little children who can't think or act on their own. Since the agents CALL US with load offers, we don't have to look for loads so we can sleep and get up when we are rested. LAndstar ain't my momma, I...

Two ways come to mind, go to the express web page and see who has had loads out of Kansas or near there going to st paul, or call HQ and ask them who gets loads that way. Second, find a sister company load, they dont pay as good but it beats being empty.

I have 2 suggestions to newbies, or those inquiring about expediting. 1. Before you buy drive for someone else. Get some experience in expediting to see if it is for you. This business ain't for eveybody, the ole try it before you buy it. If you have no experience, go with one of the...

Okay, here is the best I can do right now, The worst thing about Landstar is they treat us like a business. They won't hold our hand and tell us where to go or what to do. This doesn't go over well with drivers who need a babysitter. They don't pay a set deadhead rate, however, most...

Conway bashing Panther? In previous post (not just this one) I think all the bashing has come from seasoned Panther drivers. I have yet to meet a happy panther driver out there. I was in Bloomington Illinois a few weeks ago, 10 panther trucks were at the TA, none were happy. Perhaps the...

Drove with CTX from feb 2001 to aug 2003 averaged 63 cents per mile on all miles. Now with Landstar Express ave 1.25 on all miles, hmmm don't think I want to change. Ken Leam 4474

I'd like to know, what is a person with a new truck suppose to do? Everywhere I have purchased fuel says not to use this fuel in a 07 or newer engine. Does this apply to aux gen systems as well? If it is a 07 or newer deisel engine then would I need a sepatate tank for fuel to run my...

I was in the Pilot at Bordentown NJ, nowhere in the store or at the pumps did I see it, but in the shower was a poster. It read, We're Going Back as of March 1st Pilot is going back to its old rewards point system, no minimum required, and you get one point for each gallon. I guess they lost...

Question are you talking Express, or Carrier Group (Ranger Inway Ligon)? I have a B and D unit on with LEAM (Express), personally, I wouldn't go anywhere else. We have over 50 agents all over the country so we can pretty much get a load from anywhere. The pay is really good, the B unit makes...

I Know this has been discussed last year, but here it is tax time again. What is the rate for Per deim in 2005, O've been trying to find it but no luck. Also as an owner operator how much of it am I allowed to deduct 100% or just 70%. Ken LEAM 4474

I talked to another driver just a few weeks ago who left CTX in August we had the same experiences with CTX. I drove for CTX truck 207029 from 2001 to 2004, my experience was they ran me really good, paid me when they were suppose to, however, there was twice that they shorted me on loads, the...

Hey Tennessee My trucks dirty almost all the time, not because I aint makin money its because I dont have time to stop and wait 3 hours at a truck wash, I did that in Laredo, if there is more that 3 trucks in line Im not waiting, I'll go somewhere else, if ya know what I mean. Ken Leam 4474

My first thought was who do you drive for? Are you going to be penalized for refusing a load? If you have a central dispatch is that dispatcher going to bump you to the bottom of the list? I can recall only a few times when we refused a load because of where it was going, Canada, need I say...
