Landstar Questions

well Tirednaz, that sounds like it'd be the Perfect fit for many drivers. if I ever get ahead in life to buy a truck I plan on leasing on with LS. until then I shall be a company man. lol

 

We have been here going on 2 years. The first year was a learning process but the 2nd year has been very good to us. We haul AA&E freight with a conestoga flatbed trailer we bought last July. Team FAK can pay very well also so we make sure to let agents know that we are not AA&E snobs who wont do anything else.

 

Hello,what size flatbed trailer do you have? Also what's AA&E freight and Team FAK? Are they agents you haul for? Therefore what advice would you give me with hauling a flatbed because been hauling vans gor years?

 

What do a person need to do to haul freight into canada from the usa

 

FAK = Freight All Kind (General Commodities)
AA&E = Arms, Ammo, and Explosives.

 

The poster above told ya what AA&E and FAK freight are. We pull a 48 ft flatbed with a Rolltite tarping system on it. The tarping system makes the need to learn to tarp unnecessary. Landstar has a securement class you would have to attend before being allowed to pull any loads with a flatbed if you haven't had much experience in the last couple of years.

AA&E freight is almost exclusively government freight for the Dept of Defense. Rates are normally higher and a DOD secret clearance is required to haul this freight and you must be a team operation.

Team FAK is general freight that requires a team operation to deliver the load. Usually loads like this are time sensitive and must be delivered asap. While there is quite a bit of this freight, you can normally find your own by booking a 1000 mile or more load and delivering it early to the customer.

 

Oh no!!! Don't tell me LJ is getting into hauling Canadian freight also!!!?!?!?!?(just kidding, LS drivers may understand this joke)

 

I almost took a lj load yesterday that paid decent, but my principles stood in my way.

 

I am thinking about leaseing on with landstar are they a good company to lease on with ?
