Well, you will be shocked with the info that I was given today!!!!! LEA has outsourced over 60% of their loads out of Ontario & over 50% of their loads into Ontario. What ever happened to loyalty??

Everyone on here knows that Carriers are sometimes forced to outsource loads in order to service their customers properly. What happens though when you are 40 miles from a load & the carrier you are leased to outsources it in order to make more money? I was speaking to the Detroit agent for...

RE: Expediting vans becoming extinct? (2012)If that is what you are being told then you are being mislead by the agent. If it is a B unit load, then it is a B unit rate period!! Most customers have rates in place with the agents, especially if it is a National account for LEA. Unfortunately the...

C&M Tranport seems to be a solid carrier. I have had the opportunity to deal with C&M & can honestly say the operations staff is very easy to get along with & always personable.

I personally know a B Unit & several D Units that are going broke with LEA. The B Unit has had 2 trips in the last month & has made no more then $800,a D Unit that has had 2 trips in the past month & made $1100(IN A MONTH???!!!). Landstar may look after you at orientation & give you simple...

RE: Win a Prize - Have Fun! I see alot of realy good suggestions. Mechanics is definately not my strong point, but could I suggest: TechTalk & Compliance Forum

RE: Going to LEA with my Sprinter van---advice? I strongly believe Landstar to be a great company. If you want independence & really want to run your vehicle when & where you want, then this is a great system. The only negative thing I can say is seriously consider your choice & more so, your...

RE: Going to LEA with my Sprinter van---advice? LEA thinks B units are a dime a dozen & DO NOT even compensate the Recruiters for securing them. If you live in the freight "hot spots" you may do ok but where are they?If you traveled to Canada in the past, forgetaboutit! Landstar & their...

The startup costs for LEA are more then any other company I have ever heard of. You can expect to run around like a chicken with your head cut off just to get all the neccesary documents, drive to Rockford,IL & spend 3 days there in "orientation" & you pay the cost of the installation for the...

Oh!! the satellite system is brutal! Highway Disaster as its known! Its as accurate as a themometer without mercury! & LEA pays percentage. 62% of the gross to be exact. No dead head pay, no layover pay.

I can tell you vans do have a hard time with freight in this system. Your Recruiter was probably being honest with you about the amount of freight available, but where?? If you're in Ohio, freight in Kentucky is no value to you. Call the Agent is Syracuse, NY. Ask for Ron. He has a van of his...

I spoke to a friend of mine that drives for Tri-State. The short-haul is to help support the Intra Michigan, cross border shipments being offered on the NLMI website(automotive). Tri-State, like all other carriers are required to bid on the freight so there is no guarantee they will successfully...

Landstar Express is a great choice. If your recruiter is from Michigan, he has not steered you wrong. Yes, it is true, there is no central dispatch which works to the drivers benefit. The is no force dispatch, no out of service penalties, you can go home & stay home for s long as you like...

If you are looking for a Canadian based office to work for, may I suggest Landstar Express America. They are a large Corporation based in Jacksonville,FL but they do have a Canadian Recruiting office & have a very reliable fleet of Solid Canadian Drivers. If you are not Canadian then click on...

Less then 2 weeks to go:-) Let us know who makes it to the Open House & how it was. Look forward to the responses.

Look into your home town Chamber of Commerce. I believe if you become a member of your C.O.C., you are eligible to purchase their Health Plan that is available to small business's, which you would qualify for. Joining a C.O.C. also has additional benefits. Also check with the company you are...

That is a good question! Although Landstar Express America is an American company with their Corporate offices in Jacksonville,Fl, they do have a large office in Canada that supports a good size number of Canadian trucks. With most Expedite trucks being around the Border area,going into & out of...
