    How's it Going at Landstar?

    I must have missed the LEAM load board, oh wait there is none. The only load board is for T/L and LTL freight. LEAM side we call the agents or the agents call us. All my loads have come from a agent calling me.

    How's it Going at Landstar?

    What's left out, they did 13 loads for a month and grossed 31K posted it and people are ripping them for posting the numbers. I say its refreshing for someone to post their numbers since mot claim they are doing great but never put their numbers out their to prove their claim. As for the LS...

    How's it Going at Landstar?

    Yes, here at LS we are just short of being independent, but why go thru all the hoops of getting your authority, insurance including cargo, finding loads from brokers that slow pay for the most part. Brokers that charge you to get paid and so on. Maybe expediting freight brokers are different...

    Expediter Services leaving E-1

    If I have learned anything from this industry, its if you don't own the truck you are screwed. I like the fact that I can do as I please when ever I please and have no one saying you can't do that

    Kirby Texas ... Landstar unit

    Yes I'll be at GATS. I still have lots to learn, but it was the best move I've made in years to downsize from 18 wheels to 4 wheels, less stress and I take home more money since a good week I work 3 to 4 days instead of 6 to 7 for the same money to the truck.

    So you have a gun in your truck?

    Carrying a weapon in you vehicle is legal in most states, but the weapon has to UN loaded and the ammo CANNOT be anywhere near the weapon.

    mexican trucks in america are a fact.

    I might add my two cents to the thread. 1. Mexican trucks will cross into the U.S to deliver their load and Two can pick a load up to take back to Mexico. Therefore, trucks that haul loads to the border cities will now be on Mexican trucks. Still they will not be able to haul all the loads...

    you van people......

    I had 20 + years in a big truck with over 2.5 million miles and went to a 05 sprinter. I'm having fun not having to deal with the dot or logs. I guess the newer sprinter is wider and I know it's taller, plus it's longer.. will get a newer one in a year or 2 when I can pay cash like I did with...

    Fedex C.C.

    Your a company driver, don't return the truck for free make them pay you up front to bring it back, because if you don't get the money before you give them the vehicle they wont pay you a dime.

    Lane Closed Ahead

    I'm trying to figure out why a truck driver thinks its his right to block a travel lane just because the other lane is shut down. It is illegal to block a lane in all states. The law in most if not all states say merge at gore point. That means where the barrels are, unless there is a sign that...

    Who takes the least out of your check??

    Simple its in the contract you sign to lease on with them. Like at LEAM you either go for the deductions or you don't get to lease on with LEAM. Some of what they want you to get might be cheaper on the open market.. Been dealing with Landstar since 1996 minus the last 2 years, its been the...
