Did she wait until full retirement age ? My brother makes $100,000 plus and just took his at 66 expecting no penalty.

It’s a gamble. I’m looking at $2200 per month at 66. $1496 per month if I go 4 years early. The $71808 I’d get in those 4 years is offset by a $706 month lower payment. If I don’t last 8.5 years I’m ahead. I should last longer if the liver holds out. Every month for the rest of my life I’m...

The bigger rule, if I understand it right, is you lose 8% for each year you retire prior to your full retirement age. For you youngins that full retirement age keeps getting older. Born in 53, my FRA is 66.

For your safety. I remember the day a driver delivered a new class 8 and had a tie rod come apart in the driveway. Or it could just be a money grab.

He talked to the Help Desk in JAX and 10 works now.

Let’s give alittle credit to the driver.

If an expediter says it is.......it might be !

I’ll run that by him. Since he’s in the process, he probably doesn’t even have JAX numbers yet. That will be his approach if I can’t get an answer out of one of the Landstar people.

I guess these youngsters haven’t figured out a retirees budget.

A friend is applying to Landstar. He wants a new computer but a BCO told him Windows 10 was too advanced for their scanners . Does anyone know if that’s still true ? Windows 7 is no longer available from Best Buy. He doesn’t know who to call at Landstar that may give him a straight answer...

Great job going off topic ?

This is common. Some food/pharmaceutical shippers do not allow you on dock. Safety/sanitation issues. Some high value security issues. I’ve seen loads loaded where they didn’t want drivers to get a visual. They’ll secure freight and close/seal doors. You’re the captain of the ship. Anything...

Elaborate, Tx pop. 12,450 45 miles south of Dallas on 45.

Just read 7200 lb payload and self leveling air ride coming. I don’t mind logging.

Congratulations. That sounds so smooth and organized, are you sure you’re an expediter ? You probably didn’t have much time to go “ off topic” but did you learn anything about the upcoming gas version?

It sounds like they know how to “git er done”. And I don’t ever remember ever hearing a negative comment on the place. Too bad they don’t pick up a Freightliner franchise.

I vigorously protest my posts in this thread being removed!!!!! Just a case of an overzealous Mod abusing..... &@;(“$/)&!!.....just kidding, as usual. Carry on. Luke, where’d you go son ? Any specific questions you need answered?

I bought a brand new class 8 in maybe 1990. 102 days in the Shop for Caterpillar problems. In the first 12 month’s. It was a tough year. My great carrier was afraid to give me his better freight. I didn’t blame him. % Contract.

I wouldn’t expect any Ford Dealerships to have a fuel pump for his PROMASTER.

Ionia or Jackson ?
