    Landstar disappears

    I know they listened to Phil at the BCO days in Jacksonville, I was there when the head of LEAM talked about some of his suggestions on making changes. Now I don't have any knowledge of the back and forth between them and Phil, but I know Phil is telling it like it is at Landstar.

    I guess log books are legal or these drivers and owner of this company wouldn't have pleaded guilty. 2006. On November 14, four former drivers for Nijjar Brothers Trucking, Inc. were sentenced to varying jail terms by a U.S. District Court judge in Fresno, CA on charges of making false...

    CharlesD, thanks for proving the point of why the FMCSA wants all CMV's to have a E-log.. Because even under todays rules you would be in violation. Quote. Or here's another scenario.

    Even Landstars e logs have a personal time button I do believe. Such a easy fix. Right now no one who has to log can drive to get dinner or to a store on personal use if their loaded per the regulations. As notanewbie said its a regulation and you agreed to the rules and regulations when you...

    You claim your rights when it comes to electronic log book, the only difference between a paper log book and a electronic log book is you cannot throw the page out and start a new one. What rights are they taking away, none that I know of if you use a electronic log.

    Paullud, what would electronic logs do that would cause you to have so much problem with them. Maybe someone could tell me what electronic logs would cause a person to go out of business. There would be no harassment since if your out of hours you aren't going anywhere anyway. Harassment can...

    FSC shell game

    If you are a O/O working for yourself and not leased onto anyone a FSC doesn't mean crap, the only thing you need to do is get the rate you need to make your profit. When you are leased to a company and you run on percent you want a higher FSC if you get 100% of the FSC your profit margin goes...
