Landstar Questions

Thank you. I tried contacting them today but being Sunday I'm guessing they aren't in. Pretty excited about taking this step but after buying the truck and getting it 100% road ready put me down close to 30,000 and it would be nice to get the truck on the road making money, it was bought with cash so it isnt costing me anything, but im tired of owning a truck and it sitting i was accepted by two smaller places that pay per mile and I'd be running with them by now, but I'd prefer percentage and every Landstar driver IV talked to was happy there. It just seems like it is taking forever.

 

from start to finish takes about 3 weeks

 

That doesn't sound bad, until it takes that long. Or maybe I'm just impatient. Probably the latter of the two.

 

when they give you the ok for the dot on the truck or your drug test
as soon as you get 1 of them done it starts a 30 day clock. if your not hired by the end of the 30 days you have to start all over again

 

What state are you in? Once you get the OK to go get an inspection it will have to be done by a Landstar approved shop. Some states only have one or two of those and some states don't have any. I had to travel 150 miles to get an inspection done. It was right next to the orientation center in Georgia though. So I just hung out a couple of days, then started orientation.

 

God love you if you get one done in Oregon.

 

I'm in Ohio by st clairsville. will they send me tags to get there or am I going to have to put in for a temp permit. I knew it had to be a Landstar approved shop but I figured any dealership would do

 

when you get the OK they will send you (fedex overnight) your tag, ifta, perpass, logos so you can drive to orientation.... also you will need you ifta miles from your house to orientation and NO not any dealer can do a landstar dot... you will need to ask landstar where you can get it done

 

Ohio has a lot of approved shops. Here are the current Ohio and Pennsylvania lists. I'd call first to make sure a LS certified mechanic is going to be there when you want it done. A shop has to get individual mechanics certified and often they will only have one.
