    2020 Cascadia Tractor

    If he's at Landstar, he's not new to the industry. While I wholeheartedly agree with the onboarding that makes uphill molasses look fast, waiting to get a trailer is somewhat on you/him. There are several ways to skin that cat the day he/she leaves orientation. That said, it looks like he's...

    School Project: Questions For Truck Drivers And Mechanics

    Driver here. While I have never driven a Class 8 combination vehicle (requiring class A here in the States, or A-Z for you) professionally other than school, I believe what you are asking is for the Department of Redundancy Department. I believe that overheating brakes are the result of poor...

    Landstar Sprinter Question

    They won't do that because they need the safety numbers from that division to inflate the big truck numbers to make them look good. Plus since they are a asset only business they do not have very much overhead To "make them look good"? Each Landstar entity has their own DOT number. LEAM...

    Need help

    Health Insurance

    I'm wondering why I'm redistributing my wealth (or perceived wealth...hahaha) to the OP, as their new premium most definitely includes a credit or subsidy. You have to prove your income no matter if you qualify for the subsidy/credit or not. Exchange: You have to provide your income, sir, so...

    Redundant questions of an expediter

    When I was just casually spinning through the thread, I saw "Panther" and then "Vegetation Management ", and then I .......well, nevermind. I kid. Here's an answer for one question - government clearance : yes. It's almost useless, unless your co-driver has it. That said, there are...

    One Man Fight to Save the Expedited Trucking Industry

    No we're not "in this together". This is business, pure and simple. You want solidarity? Join a labor union. Sorry if that's cold and hard, but if it comes down to my family or yours getting groceries, I'll be sharpening my knife.

    Breaking down while on a load

    I get that you're not pleased that you're paying the tow bill, Jim. I get that it's like salt in your fresh wound. Our experience is that we've had one animal collision, and two breakdowns while under a load, both while we were leased to FedEx. In the cow strike, the tow bill was added to our...
