Hello I'm a 17yr diesel mech and former Marine. I'm ready to lay my tools down an try something new. I'm look for a Expeditors truck 2007 an newer. Must have at least 96in sleeper, lift gate, reefer and would like 17ft/22ft box an drop axle. I can live without the drop axle and 22ft box. I have located a 05 an a 07 Columbia, I have cash in hand and wanted to see if anything else was out there. The 2 I've found have Mercedes in them, I prefer a Cummins or a Detroit

Use the classifieds here or truck paper. Even some will pop up on ebay
Do you have a carrier in mind? Many require trucks that are 10 years old or newer.
I used this company a lot in the past, always had great service. If I recall, Karen and Mark were my contacts, but again, it's been awhile ago.

My own authority or landstar
Do you have recent, verifiable experience?
If you are new to the industry, either of the 2 choices you mentioned could be a rough start.
Reasoning:
1. own authority = you will need to find customers
2. Landstar does not have a traditional dispatch system, so it will be similar to #1 above
Better not have any skeletons in the closet hiding because Landstar will find them and your driving record is squeaky clean.
Good Morning Happy 4th Of July, Thanks so much for the information much appreciated
