One thing about Landstar is that they wull let you grow your business. I ran for Roberts abd FedEx for about six years and when youy do one of their dispatchers a favor they remembered for about 3 tents of a second. With Landstar your are working with the agent and not the company. If an...

At one time I worked for an oil company and when our depot ran low or out of fuel we didnt shut down stations, we just got the gas from someone else. If everyone stops buying from Shell Shell would just sell their gas to Exxon. There is just so much gas that can go through the pipeline and...

Well Horrodd, it will cause problems for the rest of your life. Your will not be able to vacation in Canada for example. It will exclude you from a lot of jobs, if you want to work part time that is. The list just goes on and on.

When the CDL first came out I remember the officer that talked about it at the company I worked at said anybody with a CDL would get a one year suspension for a DUI.

Leo hit the nail on the head. Landstar Express had a few D units that only hauled sister company loads because they could double up and make more money. Nothing wrong with that but express was making zero on these loads, now Express takes a cut off the top, then the sister company takes a cut...

If you figure the cost of fuel only, and not the wear and tear on your engine maybe the espar would not be a good buy for you, but the cost of one engine will pay for several espars. And espar of michigan told me the cost of moving the unit to another truck is not that much, what ever that is...

go to www.legislature.mi.gov then look up 257.724 and this site will tell you what Michigan charges for each pound. Hope this helps

dhalltoyo, your answer about people not wanting to hear the truth is just like someone asking for advice. They dont want advice, they just want someone to agree with them. By the way, you got mail re drivecam

Moot, you might be right because my "notice to appear" says its for a pre-trial conf. I know what you mean about cops that try to screw you. Last Dec I was ran into by a SOB pulling a lowboy trailer in Harlingen Tx. The professional driver then took off and when I chased him down he wanted to...

It's slow for most of us, and I dont think it's ever going to be like it was several years ago. You didnt say who you are leased on with but if it is Panther, you better get used to being 10 or more in line. If you are a cargo van you are a going to get loaded after all the D units are taken...

My court date is this Wed 4/12/2006 in Monroe. After they find against me and take all of my hard earned money I'll come back with "The rest of the story" as Paul would say. When the entire story is told everyone will understand why I'll not lay all my cards on the table at this time. Check...

Hay Moot, don't keep us just hanging in mid air, tell us the darn story.

Hay Moot, I don't think Capone got syphilis in the federal pen, did he?

Al Capone didn't file taxes and see where it got him?

Cargo vans dont scale in Ky unless they have 1001# or more of haz mat this is as per Warren Wilmoth badge# 0309 KSP on 1/7/03 But on the other hand Mi just passed their law last November.

OK here it is Michigan Vehicle Code <excerpt> act 300 of 1949 257.75 "truck" defined. Sec 75. "Truck" means every motor vehicle designed, used, or maintained primarily for the transportation of property. end of quote!!! It is plain that the officer that wrote the ticket understands the law...

dhalltyo, I am the driver who got the ticket, and there is no list that I know of that answers your question. However most states do a better job of letting the driver know who is to go in. IE: all trucks over 8 tons, all haz mat loads, ect. My own company, Landstar Express America knows of...

You better read and understand what LDB is asking you. It dont matter who you lease to or how many skids you can put into the truck. THIS UNIT IS GOING TO BE HEAVY. Unless you get a contract hauling something very light in weight, you will just end up with a somewhat expensive camper.

Landstar is as good as you want it to be. However its a good old boys network and they will tell you that, in so many words, during orentation. It is not a first in first out dispatch. The brokers will give you a chance but if your attitude is not good or you :censoredsign: about everything they will...

for those who wanted to know where i got the ticket, it was on I75 just north of Toledo, oh. I went into the rest area just north of the scales and the cop followed me in there and said i shouldnt be parked where the cars were, that i should be parked out where the trucks were, now thats...
