Landstar So Far

I haven't had crooked experiences at ta/petro , but I've heard some have , but that's just hearsay .
But I have had incompetent experiences, truck stops don't have the quality of mechanics that a good shop will.
I had a ta inspector tell me my fifth wheel mount had to much play in it , after tearing into it and destroying the large rubber shock bushing , that he didn't realize was the reason for the play.
It took all day and a big bill to replace a part that was fine . I didn't fight it but should have , they cut me a break on labor

 

That wasn't by any chance the TA in Commerce, GA was it? Because almost the same thing happened to me. He was going to fail it, but I talked him out of it. I've never had any other shop even check my fifth wheel for play. That guy was thorough. To be fair, my fifth wheel was in bad shape. There was quite a bit of slack in the pivots and it was right at the legal limit for up and down travel. I told the guy I'd replace it and shortly after that I did.

 

No but I don't remember where, it's been quite awhile , I did have one done in commerce the older guy was thorough but fair . I've found a good shop near me that's very fair and he's my go to guy for repairs and inspections for a couple years now

 

If your due for cabs class they do it there

 

Really ? Did you pull dry van or flatbed

 

Van... Company Van at that, at 65%

 

How many miles per year do you run? It just hard believe because I never come close to that kinda of money and I was driving 124,000 miles a year. Unless you getting $2+ per mile off the load board

 

Run screaming from that Petro if you need work done.

You are so lucky, I never seen anything like in my travels.
