    I'm just telling you what I was told by landstar recruiters. Call bull all you like.
    It's what they told me.

    Back in 09 I think they wanted you there 6 months before they'd let you take securement. Maybe it was more for you guys north of the border. I do believe that's all changed now, as there are new people running securement and the location has changed.

    I came in with prior open deck experience, and was still required to take the securement training.

    To accelerate your savings plan buy a truck in December, do one load before the end of the year, write off enough to zero out this years income, get back all the money that was withheld from you checks

    I won't have enough savings and backup in December to even compentplate that tax move. Maybe I could wait December 2018 to do that, but this team job is 1099, so I don't know if that will even play out.

    Explain a little further in detail please?
