So Dave sees this oversize load the OM booked and thinks to himself that he will run it under the stealth of darkness without permits or escorts to increase the ROI even more.
What Dave didn't anticipate was meeting a young DOT officer full of vinegar who was also a Cleveland Browns fan. Dave explained that his cat had booked the load, and when the officer asked to see the incredible cat who was computer literate, he pulled back the sleeper curtain to reveal this:
The OM was dripped out in Steelers gear, which ultimately led to the officer writing several citations and throwing the book at Landstar. Dave has appealed in the DataQ citing the extreme prejudice from a Cleveland Browns fan, but the disposition is still pending.Last edited: Nov 4, 2024

Thanks LS for ####### any potential revenue out of Missouri for a month for my operation.Midwest Trucker, cke, exhausted379 and 8 others Thank this. -
I could ‘find out’ what action has been taken by calling Workman, but the problem has apparently become systemic, if they already had a suspension in Feb 24.
It’s ‘not fair’ to the ones that play by the rules - but life’s never fair.
I noticed in the brief, they weakly stated that Inway wasn’t affected. Like that f’n helps me any. Nothing mentioned on ACTION or MOVING FORWARD FROM THIS - just “meh - here’s the bad news that our 3 recent years of hiring standards have brought about “
F’n joke.sawmill, Midwest Trucker, cke and 15 others Thank this. -
Now - don’t forget, felines have played an important role in history - @Dave_in_AZ OM has not yet had the distinction of military service, but time will tell.

As I understand, when Ranger or Inway safety scores go to the dogs, they hire on new BCO’s under the better one.
I may be wrong.sawmill, cke, exhausted379 and 9 others Thank this. -
Unfortunately for Dave, the OM started moonlighting as an Uber driver in his escort vehicle which had Landstar logos on it. The OM crashed the car startled by a cucumber, killing the passenger but she survived and left the crime scene.
Lamdstar has been under scrutiny ever since.cke, IH9300SBA, Deere hunter and 6 others Thank this.
