Landstar vs Independent

I thank you.I am just in the ''entertaining'' the idea and getting as much knowledge as i can..I am still plugging along here in NY with Landstar..

I just think it is very wrong for L/S to ''mandate'' BCO's to the E-LOG over FALSE EVIDENCE..This is just WRONG and very unprofessional conduct on Landstar's part..As of yesterday we have close to 4,000 BCO's on them..So we now see the direction Landstar is going..

Then they turn around and charge you another 29.00 bucs to have it....WRONG WRONG WRONG....

I will never say L/S is the worst of the worst.They have been good to me and alot of drivers..But the writing is on the wall to where this is all heading..We are not being treated like the ''elites'' we once were..

We are on are way to being treated like a BABY...I will give you one example...

I have a friend with 5 months exp.He has the e-log and every babysitting tool in his truck.He can only go 67 MPH...Mind you,he only has 5 months..On his E-LOG he can drop his trailer and go off on ''Off duty driving'' for as long as he needs...

Now L/S..

They market that we are the ''cream of the crop''.We are the elites..L/S is so full of ####...BCO's are O/O and we pay for everything.We have been through an anal exam to be here..We were told that we are so lucky to be here and only 1 driver out of 100 gets hired on,so consider yourself lucky...BLAH BLAH BLAH....

On L/S e-log they only give you 1 hour to drop your trailer and go to wal mart on the ''off duty driving'' then come back to the truck stop like a baby boy and suck your thumb...To me this is a kick in the balls..

This is not how a PROFESSIONAL is to be treated...It is all B/S....Needless to say this is one example of where the so called ''elites'' are headed..Ranger Bob pointed out the other FACTS..Over 40% of out loads are being put on outside carriers...

Anyhow that is my rant for the day and i am keeping my options open and just doing alot of research..My rose colored glasses are off and i am looking at the road Landstar is taking.And it looks like they are shoving us off to be just like a SWIFT or WERNER driver....
