Landstar how the “ “ do you stop the Agents from calling you?Any advice on how to keep

This clown is not a "business owner"... He's simple a guy who is leased to Landstar and when they say "bend over"... he says how far...

 

You will NEVER find a permit anywhere in these United States to take a portion of the Interstate Highway System.

The Interstate Highway System by Law is open 24/7 in all weather unless closed to protect life in the worst of weather. No one is allowed to block anything on those roads, upon pain of arrest, tickets etc.

I myself would not gamble 30 years progress in a lifetime on a few minutes of shrieking and protesting. That changes nothing. Except a absolute loss of that valued work as fast as the revelant supervisors can get the firing chopped to you.

Protesting in tavern is better. Once you change enough minds to your position, elect them to the legislature and repeal or introduce laws until the original objectives are met. That's called Lobbying. It's big business in DC.

 

Block the numbers that will stop em from constantly bugging you...

 

We don't use the load board much, I think 10% of the loads we have done came from the load board and still booked through an agent.

we work through a set of agents, if the driver doesn't want to get a call, they go out of service or gets another load.

 

It would appear from your description of your actions it was to make $650 pay out. Not for the good of whatever.
If you claim otherwise, why did you buy a truck instead of becoming a cop?

 

OP will be post how bad land star is in less than 6 months. Seeing how “business savvy” he is I am surprised he hasn’t already figured out that the best loads at Landstar never hit the load board.

 

OK here is a solution for you.

I have been with LS since 2006, I know how the system works, I have made a lot of money because of them and have had dedicated freight for months at a time with one agent. And now I have a bunch of trucks with them, and a few on strictly dedicated work, I mentioned one solution drivers use but here is another.

I have two drivers servicing one account through a large southern agent, they are right in the middle of bunch of busy lanes and used to get calls all the time from agents. The requirement is you are to have a phone number for the truck, but that's all, the driver does not have to have that phone with them, this was asked by me to the LS people back in 2013. LS needs to get a hold of a driver, and that's where we do that for them.

SO these drivers carry a different phone with them which only the agent has, and of course me and my staff. The other number that agents see when they pull up the truck goes to another phone number in the Indiana yard where we have with a huge VM capacity and it gets listened to every working day.
