    Our new website!

    I have another thought on that also .. many of we burly men are actually color blind to some degree, (gasp), and RED is usually the color that is most affected .... hence, less red, more blue, the easiest color for us to see ... and yes, I am "color challenged"! :D

    Site seeing and log books

    After 40 years of trucking, maybe it is easy to understand why I am under 10k .. no logs. However, while I still was at Hot Shot, I logged it all off duty .... oh sure, there could have been complications, when one splits hairs. But no harm, no foul. And there was no way Jones could track...

    How's it Going at Landstar?

    As a condition of your lease contract with them, or any carrier/company, they can ask whatever they wish. If you choose not to respond, it may be negoitable, it may not. And that contract may not be completed. Your call whether you wish to participate.

    How's it Going at Landstar?

    Landstar Orientation

    I "fled the FED" before it was the "Fed" ... but then I would have fled any carrier that has a central dispatch once I got a taste of running my own business. So my fleeing was just that, they did not meet my goals of a carrier I wanted to invest in. When I left Robrts Express, I went to...
