No brainer...........If your pre-approved for Landstar...........GO FOR IT!!!

@ jjoerger, we don't live that far from each other.

ATeam and Speedwagan, your exactly right! I wonder how many drivers even know their true cost-per-mile to operate. Probably not many, especially ones driving for an owner. When we drove we were lucky and had an excellent owner. He took very good care of us with quality, safe trucks. But we also...

I don't know how anyone can make any money in a straight getting $1.24 a mile let alone $1.12. Am I missing something?

I'll take the brutal sun, humidity and mosquitoes-when I 'donate' I get a receipt for my taxes.....lol Alot better than shoveling all that snow, slipping on the ice, etc. I'll think of ya doing all that shoveling as I ride the Harley.

If you have deep enough pockets and own your own truck you can do anything you want to. I can't see it working in expediting. Unless you have those magical 'bottomless pockets'. Expediting is like the wind, you chase it and go where it takes you. We always planned on staying 'out' for 3 weeks...

If I ever got back into expediting T-State would be my first choice, at least in a straight.

wow, that was pretty quick. How long was the owner with T-State?

you'll enjoy driving for T-State. I was with them for 3 yrs. in a straight. Would still be with them if my owner hadn't pulled his trucks over something I considered at the time as pretty trivial. For the most part, and you'll learn this quickly, the dispatchers do all they can to keep you...

thx Cheri. didn't know that. Guess we never delivered at any convention centers while at T-State

BTW, not to show my ignorance but what is a martialling yard??

I'm a 'yankee' by birth, 'southern' by choice. And yes, I'm one of those transplants to love to rub in the warm temps here in florida to all my relatives & friends back in western NY. :) Back on topic. One huge pleasant surprise for us was just this week. Since not being able to drive anymore...

that's no "no fear', that's called not paying attention to what's going on around you. Although sitting where he is there isn't alot he could do or go to avoid that mess. Happens in a split second

No reason to avoid races all together. Just make sure when you get your tickets you sit up as high as you can. Problem solved. I refuse to go to any racetrack whether it be a little 1/4 mile dirt track to a super speedway, if I have to sit down near the bottom I won't go. Get there early and get...

Don't quite understand all the questions about Tri-State if you've already been with the company. I would think you'd already know the in's and outs on the company or who to contact with your questions. I drove for an owner who was leased with T-State and I enjoyed every minute of it. They were...

Wow, didn't realize that everyone on here had an English degree. Don't throw the guy to the wolves because grammer & punctuation is not his strong suit. He got his point across. Geeze, lighten up a little everyone. He (the original poster) might be able to kick your butts in something else like...

Hey JT, next time you have those symptoms of chest pain radiating into your arm and up your neck to your jaw/face stop at a hospital and get checked. Then let us know what the results are......Sorry dude, you had or were VERY close to having a massive heart attack. I had the same symptoms one...

cheri122 has it EXACTLY RIGHT!!!!

what did they charge? We were going to take the ferry from NY to VT one time in our car and they wanted like $40 each way!! We stayed in NY and kept the money in our pocket
