Landstar So Far

I have a couple of questions for the guys that recently started at Landstar. After getting your truck how much did you have to spend til you got to orientation???
Insurance to move the truck, price of 2290, price for DOT & Landstar inspection, & anything else. Thanks in advance

 

what are you delivering?? Tombstones

 

The straps are nice, I have a lot of them too.
I did a lot of dog food stops in the NorthEast once, a lot of small places with docks that were too high or low. I kept their addresses and directions for a long time because most of them allowed overnight parking.

At least you made the big bucks on the load, unlike me

 

I just recently realized that this kind of stuff can actually end your career. This is actually CSA points. I was thinking from a four wheeler mentality that warnings mean: get it fixed, don't do it again, etc. Nope. They mean, screw you, wink, you a few points closer to a career end, wink, and you can't fight it in court, wink. Have a nice new years you useless driver. NEVER MAKE A MISTAKE WHILE HOLDING A CDL? MISTAKES ARE FOR IMPERFECT HUMAN BEINGS. CDL HOLDERS ARE NOT IMPERFECT, THUS MISTAKES WILL BE A KICK IN THE SCROTUM. END OF DISCUSSION. THE GUBMENT DECREES.

Sorry, I wasn't being inclusive enough, fill in VAGINAL AREA with SCROTUM for our CDL HOLDING FEMALES.

EDITED FOR NON-INCLUSIVENESS.

 

I blew past one in Montana, the cheap tiny little sign they put on the ground looked like a five year old did the lettering. I thought it was a trick by a gang wanting to high jack a load, so I kept going.
Looking down below the overpass as I went by I saw that it was legit, but too late now. Nobody came after me, so I kept on trucking.

 

I wish you the best of luck Dave.
It is a weird thing when one little mishap can make us hope Carolina Cargo will hire us. Even a bonafide owner op can be found to be uninsurable over almost nothing.
I better get to sleep, I may or may not have to work tomorow
