    See ya

    I have just over two years and I'll be semi retiring at 62..I'll work some but not like I do now. I would have taken a local job as an employee right now, but I wouldn't be able to take time off when I wanted and would have been locked into set vacation times, which isn't for me right now.

    Landstar question

    I agree with everything you said, but one of the problems at Landstar comes from the fact that they are high on most loads compared to other companies. . There is no such thing as white glove or anything that makes one truck better then another. We're all created equal in the eyes of...

    Slowest month in 2 years

    I've been lucky this month with my loads paying 1.45 up for distance. 1450, 1100, 2200 and Monday out of SD to Omaha 1600 and change. Best load this month 2.02 for 1100 miles. But I also posted that Feb and March were a bust.

    FedEx Truck, Bus Crash

    Come to find out that the driver took over in Sacramento because of a shift change not for a accident. I thought it would have been hard for the first driver to make the run within the 12 hours he or she needed.
