I would suggest you shop around as your credit score is going to dictate what is your best rate. Also experience in the industry will affect your interest rate. What size truck are you thinking of purchasing? Will you go through a dealer? - some have financing Purchasing New or Used also has...

What could be more fun then enjoying Florida in January? Looking through the Agenda it sure looks like a few days that are jam packed with activities. Thursday & Friday Shuttles run from hotel to Landstar from 7 am to 5 pm Vendor exhibits open at 8 Opening comments by Landstar president &...

I did call Rockford after hours to make them aware of the situation.

To say there is not a learning curve at Landstar would be ludicrous and here is an example: We received a call from the customer (not agent) in the evening canceling the load that picked up at 8 in the morning... we were about 60 miles away. What do we do act as adults who can think and stay...

Cheri I did not say it was ethical and my opinion of this practice is really ugly and I have been very vocal about it. Why a company lets a sales person take money away from a driver that has no say in the matter sends me through the roof. I think it slows the practice down a lot when the...

With FSC and FedEx last I knew it was FSC was paid on ALL authorized miles loaded or empty. That to me is the huge difference between get paid 100% of FSC when a customer pays the FSC and getting paid FSC on all miles whether or not the customer pays. Leo is nearly accurate but the...

On FSC and getting 100% I have to disagree with some on this issue. We have been on the 100% plan and it depends on the customer, FSC is a mandatory charge and not all customers pay FSC. When the sales people are pushing a sale one of the ways they discount the load is to tell the customer...

What are you going to drive? Are you in a straight truck or going into a semi? If you are going to drive a straight truck I have never heard of what you are talking about. With what I have seen done is get a Class B and all the endorsements including air brakes and then sometimes you can be...

I was thinking the same thing RoadTime in ten years we have been in all of the lower 48 and all of the lower provinces in Canada.

January is a typically a slow month and this is where patience and knowing freight lanes is beneficial. Do you have any other drivers you can talk to that run the same operation as you? We found that talking to others that were a team and had the same or less endorsements as us could offer the...

I agree on the generic question and you know how difficult those questions are to answer. Is is better to ignore the generic question, give them a flippant reply, or to ask them to read and come back with a question we can answer? How do we answer someone who asks what company is best, if they...

You walsh16 are the one that is assuming we think you are stupid. For all I know you have a masters degree and are a practicing veterinarian. I believe you and every other newbee are probably very smart and do not have a lot of time. You are wanting to make a life changing decision you have...

Often a company will ask you to take a drive test in the vehicle you will be driving from a certified school. If you pass this test then you are ready to go. When I had to do this I was told what school to go to and I spent about 20 minutes with an instructor as he told me where to drive and...
