Yes - I have found them - or at least everyone there I have dealt with - to be a straight shooters - very professional, down to business, and no foolishness - and nothing I've experienced so far leads me to believe that that will change for the worse.RLent are you happy with Bolt?
I told them that I was honored that they apparently thought enough of me to drop me an email and ask, giving me first shot before they started looking elsewhere. And that I was always open to considering any possible business opportunity.What did you say to Co.#1 when they asked you to return?
Yeah .... no sense making unnecessary enemies.You're right, best not to burn any bridges unless it can't possibly be helped. Will look closely at the contract while we're investigating other options.
I also asked if they had made any changes to their operation, as far as compensation, and to get backhauls and reduce the unpaid deadhead.
Funny - they (DM) were actually one of the companies I was considering before I started doing this a year ago.
There had been a few changes in the way they were paying (better pay) - I didn't get all the details but it was described to me as an improvement but nothing earth-shattering.and had they?
Not at all - small company based out of Greensburg, OH - Elite Way Express (SCAC: EWEI)(Do you mind sharing which company you were previously with?)
Then again, you probably would've lost quite a bit more by putting yourself oos for a couple weeks.. you never know..Had I known that they would not pay I simply would have gone OOS until all my settlements cleared, THEN quit. Lost a couple hundred bucks on that one.
Yes, we are an OO.. and yes, it's been very tough financially with this company.. we are investigating other carriers now, and plan on leaving once husb has his 6 months in.. otherwise, there will be a pile of additional charges.. bright side is that time is coming up very soon.. downside is they'll probably make all kinds of deductions regardless! Live and learn.. learn to investigate more diligently before signing anything!So pjjjj
R U an owner operator or do you work for an owner?
If U R an owner operator I'm a bit surprised you can make ends meet with this arrangement?
But if you work for an owner, are you sure the owner is not jerking you around and blaming the carrier?

Sounds wonderful, and as it should be! Any tricks/advice for how to get hired on by Landstar? I've read they are not easy to qualify for? Any idea what their 'real' criteria is (I mean aside from the obvious clean abstract/clean record)? Do you know if they have any Canadians currently? Thanks!Having only worked for Landstar, I only know how they do it. Agent calls and offers you load. Discuss All details of load. If I like, they send me QC restating details. I go do load, they pay me the money. Seems to be a pretty simple deal.. I can't imagine working under the system originally explained here
