I see on the Landstar website that they take BCOs with 1ton cargo vans. I don't see anything on their load page small enough to fit in the cargo vans. My questions are these?
Is there anyone out there hauling for Landstar in a 1ton van (in the ATL/ Macon area)?
Is there a seperate load board for smaller loads or are these loads directly through the brokers?
Do they still require prior experience to drive a van for them? (Drove dumps and flatbeds for local government job for a short time before joining the Army 17 years ago, but I can fend for myself and can perform unsupervised. If I can drive a HMMWV in Baghdad I can survive ATL traffic.)
Would love to hear from someone outh there actually doing this to see if it even an option when I retire from the Army in 3 years. My plan is to eventually move up to Class A driving pulling a flatbed again once my son is older, eventually becoming an O/O. Until then I will try to drive locally. If there is a need for these kind of drivers in my area it seems like a natural fit for me.

Actually, if I am reading the driver requirements section correctly, they require CDLs for both the vans and the expediter trucks running under them. Experience requirements seem to be the same no matter which kind of truck you are driving.

Landstar is an OO company.
They say CDL but I don't think its class A.
But you still must follow HOS. -
