    I got turned down from hireing on with Landstar. I called the Landstar headquarters, to ask why, and they said they don't give out that information.

    I know it wasn't my work history, because none of my previous employers got any employment verification requests.
    And I know my driving record is in good shape. Except for the one speeding ticket I got over 2 years ago. And even that was under 10mph.

    Does anyone have any idea what it could be?

    Is Landstar getting so picky that they can hire only drivers with a spotless history?

    don't feel too bad, most companies are forbidden to give reasons.....

    just assume you are not "material" for them, and move on. it's happened to me......not from that company though.....

    LOL, I'm a hard runner. Especially when I'm teaming with my g/f. I've got a good driving record, work history and a sound truck.

    What kind of material does Landstar want.

    Perhaps they won't take people who advocate driving past 11 hours.
