One year experience to drive for Landstar?

Landstar told me NO. Here's my situation class A CDL for 40+ years. My last big driving job, I early retired about 4 years ago. 20years 3months and 7 days on the job,pulling oversize and heavy loads on a drop deck but job was intrastate, ran only in Florida. I have flawless driving record for 40+ years, never a moving violation or a failed DOT inspection. I have every endorsement with Hazmat and twic badge. I moved to central KY did a few years of LTL with my own truck (straight truck) then decided to go back otr. Signed up and got hired by big company (red trucks) ran 5 months with them, till death in family brought me off road. I was being paid .40 per mile. I was getting paid .27 per mile 25 years ago. 13 cent increase in 25 years. So I decided to buy my own truck and try to lease on with landstar. Well I own my truck, fortunately I was able to pay cash for it. Now I'm still looking to sign on with someone, or do my own authority route. I'm open to suggestions.

 

No.... They require 12 48 state otr...

Did you ever get hired on with anyone? I'm in the same situation

 

I left landstar after 13th years there is life after landstar you can make money there some hassles to go along with it

 

I've been with landstar 3 years now and I love it here. It's freedom. They have high standards only because it feels good running with a elite team on your back. I'm In a position to hire a diver for my fleet N I was told he has to have a one year experience. So just hang in there, you won't regret here. It's all about how to run your business here. People have because they not familiar with system but is not hard. Some people quit to soon.

 

You are on crack! Elite team my ###. They don't give a rats ### about truckers. We are a dime a dozen to them. They worship agents like they were God. Stay away from landstar!!!!
