    Bacon & potatoes with chili sauce. Not unhealthy. That Petro in Eloy is the best there is. The managers name is Jeffry. Nicest guy you'd ever wanna meet. I've commented on how well run that place is several times. When he saw me the other day, he's like " Man where have you been? I'll tell them to make more bacon." LMFAO.
    They are going to make that the new training Petro. Good shop too. Just good all the way around.
    That's the place you wanna have your Landstar inspection done.

    Did you use the app to reserve your place in the que? I usually have good luck with it, but not in Nebraska.

    No but there was a guy there getting a marker light done on his trailer that had a reservation. I don't think they will reserve for Landstar inspections. That place has two techs that are qualified. Most places have only 1. The TA in Corning has 4, while the Petro in Corning has 0. Has to be a full blown wrench to be qualified. The TA in Eloy has two.

    I pretty much averaged $70K a year net at LS after expenses while working probably a total of 10 months... Show me any other company that can do that... Even my worst year was 63K and only worked 9 months

    The thing about landstar 120 day inspection with me is , finding a mechanic who you know and trust who is landstar certified .
    That way if he finds something wrong he can fix it on the spot , is capable of doing it right and will treat you fair .
    Landstar doesn't like failed inspections , if your truck fails you can't move it except to tow it to someone else to fix it .
    This can lead to crooked shops holding your truck hostage for made up or petty questionable repairs.
    And landstar has no sympathy if your caught in that box .
    It has happened to me and I've heard many worse horror stories.

    Sun Valley Fleet Service in Phoenix. That guy is as crooked as they come, and he's so F shady, he picks and chooses his victims.

    Just pick a TA or Petro. They are too busy to play that sort of game, and the mechanics don't get paid on commission so they don't have any incentive to risk their LS certification.
