    land star express

    As a clarification, LEA does not have dispatchers, or brokers. They have what they call Express Centers(approx. 55+) all over the USA. These folks act as "agents". If they have a load, they can look at a system called Express Trak and locate a truck/van with the capacity and equipment, i.e...

    It's Long - But Worth Reading

    With all due respect, Lawrence, what flames are you trying to fan with your opening qestions? I, for one, have read the answer to your questions in many forms of media. I have seen, and heard, the trial results, the sentences that were imposed and the judge's very appropriate comments. I am...

    Where's the best place to live.

    I've been told by some "Northerners" that they know that they have gone far enough South when someone ask "Why do you have an electrical outlet on your car/truck/RV"? If they don't recognize a "block heater", maybe you've gone far enough.

    fecc no longer negotiating rates

    A quote that I heard: "Rome wasn't built in a day." But, it didn't take it long to burn, once it caught on fire." If it is true that "A" team precipitated this change at FECC, then, apparently, the fire has started.

    Is This Forum For Everyone, Or Just An Elite Few?

    RE: Is This Forum For Everyone, Or Just An Elite F I have read, with high hopes, that the exchanges expressed on this topic, would result in a compromise of positions. Happily, Tom has sought to extend an "olive branch", only to be rebuffed by a forum member whose motto seems to be: "My mind...

    "wiper tag"

    RE: wiper design I believe that means that they have recently been through a car wash and a protective cover is placed over the rear wiper to keep it from being ripped off the vehichle by the "washing machine".

    How do we help hurricane victims

    I believe that Landstar Express America has the FEMA contract, at the present time. I've spoken to a few drivers that have been down in Florida for several weeks now. As I understand it, FEMA "contracts" them through LEA for thirty(30) days. So, unless FEMA releases you, you'll be in Florida...
