    It's a Team's Life It is not about how much income you gross; it is about how much you keep.

    Leo, buying fuel has not changed at all. Same principle.

    Is your carrier doing anything for YOU due to the virus?

    Landstar has also agreed to give the agent who offers a load and the truck that delivers the load a $50 bonus. This started the first of April and has been extended into May. The $50 on each load adds up and it has been a nice bonus. We are thankful that we have a huge variety of freight to...

    Newbie

    It would help if you got your hazmat endorsement. There might be a few fleet owners at Landstar that will use a solo in one of their straight trucks. Give Don Van de Laar a call 904 248 8446 he is a recruiter

    Fedex cc vs. Panther

    If you are in a van I would not suggest LEAM at all. Heck, I do not think I would suggest any company. Solo or Team with lift gate thought Landstar Express America is a good choice.

    Fedex cc vs. Panther

    Panther and FedEx Custom Critical both have similar business models. If you really want a change than why not consider Landstar Express America?

    Best truck stops

    One that I like is in Raphine, VA at Whites or Petro off of I-81. There is a lot of room to park and a great area to walk your dog. Picnic tables by a small stream.

    Couple Weighing Megacarrier T/T v. Straight Truck Expediting

    I am glad that we first experienced T/T with a Mega carrier and it was not Prime and we would not have gone with Prime. Do some research on companies. That time with the mega carrier taught us what to expect out here from showers, traffic, docks, and I hate to say it but how to be treated...

    Our Time is Now

    Having the ability to park the truck at your house is a huge stress relief. We always know our truck is safe and sound. It also helps when loading and unloading as well as the other hundred times you run back out to the truck to get something you forgot. Often when I am cooking at home a spice...
