Landstar leasing process

They will provide all that to you at your expense, deducted through your settlements.

 

What do you mean "have them set it up"? Take your truck home. You'll need to go to an authorized inspection site for the 120 day inspection. They will mail your plates and credentials to you. You run paper logs for a week or so, until you can get to an installer for the Qualcomm. Beyond that they aren't going to need to see your truck.

 

Hope u have a place to park your truck and their rrailer. The multimillion dollar company can't afford drop lots.

 

Better get a lease offer before you buy,LS leases on less that 5% that apply.

 

When I bought my truck I had to get it home on my own dime.

ALSO! Before your lease gets approved you need to pay for a Landstar DOT at one of their approved sites. It was about $140 for me and it was before I received my plates.

You don't have to bring your truck to orientation. The only thing they need to do is put the ELD in your truck at an approved location.

Also, if you're gunning for LS buy a truck 96 or newer so their ELD is guaranteed to work.

Any other questions about the hiring process ask away.

 

I am just a couple steps away from leasing on, Hazmat, new physical and get a copy of my 2290 to them, but I am still a little unsure. I wonder if I'll have a difficult time finding loads to run over the weekends? I really hate to sit around for a day or two on a weekend if I have hours to run. Do any of you guys have a problem with this? If I book loads by Friday are there enough customers that are open on the weekends that you can pretty much keep moving?

 

Only way you'll end up with no load is if your waiting til the last minute on a friday to book your freight... and sometimes that is the case
