    CRST expedited

    CRST "Expedited" is, I believe, the units they have dedicated to things like Fedex ... They are not expediters at all. As for Malone, CRST bought them out a long time ago ..... and they are the flatbed divison I remember CRST from years ago .... my wife and I drove this truck ..... it was the...

    Landstar disappears

    I don't think they ever had one? At least not since I've been here. We, at Landstar, really have nothing to "gripe" about. So a meeting place to discuss problems and issues aren't needed. That said, are there issues here? Sure, but every contractor is in charge of their own destiny, so you...

    HEY!! Who Is That.....

    I have no a/c, but I assure you it was me. There is no other Landstar van in the Dallas area, and I was driving west on on Midway Road .... "Older guy" ! ****, I resemble that remark!

    Stolen van(GPS), part two (attn. owners)

    I'm not trying to be contentious here, but, as an owner KNOW who you hire ..... If you are leased to a carrier, why did they not do a complete background check? I don't think she could ever be qualified, for example, at Landstar.

    Gps

    Well let me tell you ... Rand McNally is a piece of crap! All it's good for is the database listings of truckstops, etc. You tell me, why would I drive from the Flying J in Texarakana, Ar to Longview, Texas, via Shreveport? Direct routing was 107 miles on the map ... on the Rand McNally it was...

    Pre Pass

    Only three reasons you get redlighted by PrePass ... (to the best of my knowledge) 1. Your carrier rating begs an inspection, (we will inspect you into compliance) 2. Random 3. Scales have it set so no one by passes

    Wow, if that wasn't you two, WHO was that Landstar all bright and shiny in the night sky! Guess I better see who else is on here! Oh, I'm in Blue Mound now, out here by Allliance airport at the Pilot ...

    HEY!! Who Is That.....

    It was me ..... I was bored and was just driving around, looking around. (Was looking for a pawn shop, I'm in the market for a used laptop, they were all closed by 7pm, I may drive back over that way, I saw several.) Ended up over here at the Pilot nw of Ft Worth. I had a dispatch from Ft...

    Expediting in Michigan

    Hmmm .. thought I just posted to this? Weird science. Check CEVA Logistics, I'm not endorsing them, I know little of them. But they do local/regional work, might be what you're looking for.

    I'm done with Texas, as in Laredo, or anywhere down there on the border. And I drifted over to Dallas today .... and I just saw my meal ticket for breakfast drive in. Here at the TA, on the southside, looked up and there went a Landstar straight truck, all lit up like a Christmas tree ...

    Turtle Top van

    Yes, same vehicle, same dealer .. new game. Both Ford and GM deliver a 10,000 pound vehicle, in both a single rear wheel, and a dual wheel. No modification is required on the GM, on the Ford it is delivered as a 138" wheel base, then stretched to 159". From the pictures I have seen of the one...

    Turtle Top van

    Yes, that is the van. I never said it was a cube van .... I'm saying it may be good replacement for the Sprinter. That's all. I know if I was replacing mine, I would be purchasing one, on the Ford chassis.

    Turtle Top van

    I dunno Scott .... we havent gotten that far .... but I'm sure they insulate those shuttle busses of their's well enough ... I asked them to read this thread ..... maybe they will respond, or send me the answer. But I do know they build YOUR unit, whatever you wish ... so insulation should not...

    Turtle Top van

    I'm not down on Bolt .... but .. the only unit I have seen of theirs in a van was a Sprinter at Stoops. It had sharp metal edges, and simple vinyl coverings for the cabinets that were held in place by snaps. Perhaps they do much better with their own built sleepers, as opposed to modifying a...

    I found it! Good Jerky!

    Was fueling here by Dallas, this place sells "Texas Best Smokehouse" jerky ... and it is perfect! That Jack Links stuff is trash .... this is the kind of jerky you have to gnaw on for awhile before you can swallow it .... I got the "salt and pepper" version ... man, it's good! They don't have...
