    i reported it because thats what i thought that i should have done.(i know better now.) and as far as the police i was only doing 5 or 7 mph i hit the brakes and jammed the roof under the bridge i lowered the air bags and backed out . it ripped two furrows in the fiberglass and dented the roof. I turned the truck around pulled into a parking lot about half a mile away (closest safe spot ) and called landstar.

    You will get through this. First things first, you need to keep money flowing. Lots of industry along the river. And 55 is the major freight lane. Chicago, Memphis, New Orleans, LittleRock, DFW, Houston and Laredo.
    You live in a freighthauler and containerhaulers, and steelhaulers paradise.

    Sir, I’m an ex-LS contractor and they pulled my plug also for my logs never matching where the satellite pinging the trailer said I was. Trust me they did you a favor. I admit I enjoyed some of my time there but I’m much much happier being independent. Quick question, I hear they have a new rule there that if your under a load and you break down no matter how far into the trip you are the op who recovers the load gets all the pay and you get nothing??? True or False?
