    Half a million miles, how many more?

    It matters not the brand of oil, have the oil analysis done. It will tell you much about the quality of your oil at the time you drained it.

    All 3 of my kids, and grand kids, live here. I'm down on Lake Texoma for 3 weeks .. thankfully the devastation, (thankfully for me and mine that is), is centered farther north.

    Landstar info please

    Re: QRe: Landstar info please I agree on the inside track .... I have always been successful at trucking, no matter where I was. I also believe the agent system is best for me, but not for everyone.

    Does the DOT target truckers?

    A business man that does not retread his good carcasses is simply wasting money. Retreads are a viable option, especially if you own both tractor and trailer. Moving those tires from steer to drive to trailer can cut costs dramatically.

    Landstar info please

    I am still receiving calls, more than a year later, wanting to know if I want freight ....... some of the agents do not know I have retired. And those agents do indeed network among themselves, as you said above.

    Landstar info please

    While there, I spoke to many folks about LS ... and I had agreed folks could give out my information. As for Sprinter teams, the ones I knew of were making money because of A&E status. That really kept them moving. I met few teams, but the ones I did were happy teaming in a Sprinter.
