    On that trick play where NE fumbled, Jack should have been able to run it back for 6. Instead, the play was needlessly blown dead. Give Jax 7 points there, good chance we would have had a different outcome.

    My history with Fedex is they’d rather pay an approved carrier a buck and make their van guy think they couldn’t pay him .90. This will keep him from trying to get more in the future. I’ve wondered if they figure by reducing the liability by putting in on an AC , the $1 to him is the same as...

    what are the average per mile rates for LandStar Express America?

    I always went with a medium pad. The thicker ones take up too much room. We used them so seldom that the middle grade worked well for us.

    what are the average per mile rates for LandStar Express America?

    Definitely rubber bands. If you have room, a very large toolbox is a great investment. Hung on the frame.

    what are the average per mile rates for LandStar Express America?

    You can buy pads elsewhere. New Haven is where most Movers buy them. They’ll sell you a better pad at a better price than most places. They’re all over the country, google them.

    12 & 20 foot straps to hook into the etrack. Different customers have different procedures. Typically they’ll load and unload you unless a pallet jack is requested. A liftgate required usually means no dock. No dock often means no workers. Expect it to be on you.

    what are the average per mile rates for LandStar Express America?

    Securement is a bigger issue at Landstar than other carriers than what I hear. A weirder assortment off odd freight. Less forgiving than other carriers over simple violations, from what I’ve been told. The is really no excuse for a professional to get a securement violation. If you want...

    what are the average per mile rates for LandStar Express America?

    Generally not too labor intensive. No forklift driving. If the forklift driver is abusing your truck you’ll generally say I’ll help you, drop the pallets at the door and I’ll load them with my pallet jack. You’ll need etrack. The metal rail bolted to wall with slots every two inches. I recommend...

    If I were to go into the sausage business I’d move back to Beecher Illinois. Beecher Meat and Liquor. Probably do well with T-Shirts and bumper stickers. Meat in the front, Liquor in the rear ? Or Liquor in the front, meat in the rear ?

    what are the average per mile rates for LandStar Express America?

    You cannot exceed any axle. Probably 12,000 on the steer. And 34,000 on the rears with axle down. 46,000 minus 26,000 is 20,000 payload. Does the 26,000 include you, full fuel tanks, and unloading equipment/personal stuff. Liftgate usually requires pallet jack. I’d start at 16-17,000 and see...

    I’ve often wondered, when some of these new people show up if it’s just a bored Mod, or worse, Lawrence, just trying to generate traffic. Whatever works.

    Look closely. The street Sign says that’s Water Street.

    what are the average per mile rates for LandStar Express America?

    Look at door jamb. Probably a 12,000 steer axle. Figure 34,000 on rear for 46,000. 48,000 is probably only s few bucks more, so that’s what I’d plate it at. That doesn’t allow you to exceed the 12/34 but there are states that allow more than 34,000 on a tandem. I wouldn’t get too close to...
