    DOT Requirements for cargo van

    Landstar has an inspection form for cargo vans. And it is required every 120 days. While DOT does not require it, it sure is nice to have that shiny new sticker on there. Oh, and they pay for the inspection also.

    It's Sad What Happened at FedEx CC

    No clue about Panther .. but Landstar does have a reconigtion program. I never expect to be a part of it .... but I'm more interested in the revenue. Since I am not an employee of Landstar, why should I expect them to pat me on the head and give me a gold star?

    New to expediting (old to 18 wheeling)

    I can tell you this .... after years of driving a semi, the worst thing that will happen to you is the life style change. Expediting is feast or famine. If that phone does not ring, there is no load. Sort of like sitting at the firehouse, waiting, then going like hell to put out someone's...

    Sitting in Hesperia, Ca .... I was also offered a load last night, picking up in LA, (60 miles away), at 5pm, going to SLC. Mission impossible, with LA traffic. So they found a team closer. Must have not been Jim, he was in San Jose! And today, I have a bid in on a load from Compton to...
