Where is everyone #5

Saw the first air seeder in the field yesterday while out bombing around the countryside. Woke up to snow this morning. I think this is now 4th winter?

I realize my best course would be to call them and ask directly this week but hypothetically speaking if a driver was to get a job with what… appears to be a fleet owner that runs his trucks with Landstar would said driver need to have his Hazmat endorsement?

 

Would said driver be driving loads requiring a placard ?

 

Well Im neither Blair nor Gretchen, but years back when I had 1st let my hazmat lapse and I was going to lease onto Landstar, they ok'ed me as long as I got it within 30 days iirc.

Out of curiousity, does this fleet owner post on this forum?

 

I do not believe so. It’s a heavy haul position and they mention nothing about needing it on their website. However, I do know of Landstars requirements for their lease operators who own a truck.

 

Ah, ok.

When I was applying at landstar it was to run for a fleet owner but I was going to purchase a truck from him.

 

I've heard both what @HillbillyDeluxeTruck said and that it's a requirement before signing on.

If I were you and you're going to go there, I'd start the fingerprinting process - that way you can at least show you're in the process. It's $100 odd through the third party fingerprint places.

I think their onboarding process is still handled by a third party outfit, used to be called 'Starqual' - and I recall that they were capable of giving three different answers to the same question, depending on who you talked to that day.

 

Ooops - you went playing outside the sandbox, didn't ya! (As @tramm01 would say).

 

Your fault! I wandered over to @Gumper 's post about getting his truck home. Rotfl.

The internet isnt a safe space. Trucking isn't safe or easy. For.the life of me, I do not understand why there is so much hand holding and coddling on this forum. I fully understand and support the fact that I do not own this place and there are rules. But this isn't Seseme St. and no of us are children.

P.s I sent him a message. I'm gonna hit up corporate tomorrow and see what it'll take to grab an rgn hopefully from the Houston terminal and get his truck out to Wyoming.

 

I think Nikimbre might have him sorted out. See what he says.
