My journey at Landstar

I plan to become an authorized carrier for LS to give it a try as I’ve always done local with direct customers. Got a friend of mine who’s a broker with them and he told me there’s some good OS runs out there. Any advice to a first timer working with them?
I plan to use this to fill gaps in my local stuff.
So far this post has been super informative and helpful! Yes I’ve read the entire thing

 

You could do better than LS, there is far better stuff out there.

 

Different needs and different perspectives, one size doesn’t fit everyone.

 

Do you know of any you could point me to? Like I said I’ve never done any broker work or load boards for that matter…just testing the waters to see what’s out there.

 

It's one reason our fuel department says fuel in the morning. Not when you park. It'd really suck to wake up to empty tanks after fueling the night before.

 

I’d recommend some lights over top of your fuel caps. Thieves generally prefer to work in the dark.

 

It’s nearly 4.50gal here in Texas now…this is beyond ridiculous..

 

Or they'll leave you a nice note saying thank you for making it easier to see. LOL
