    I can kind of understand the reasoning behind that.
    I have a feeling that the chosen landstar shops have been somewhat vetted as to being fair, too.

    I heard some horror stories, but i never had any problems. Imo, if you keep your truck up you have nothing to worry about

    1) Recommend OP read thread "How Much Hometime. "

    2) Was too tired to respond last night. Like literally read this thread and crashed out.

    3) Part of tired is made a new friend in Phoenix. HUGE money load. And his thing is actually multiple direct shippers in Phoenix. But flatbed. So no one probably interested in that.

    I'll PM you his number. I've heard Phoenix is a "black hole" for flatbeds. So naturally I stumble upon the guy that's the direct shipper.
     
    D.Tibbitt and blairandgretchen Thank this.

    You either get it fixed there, or it leaves on a hook.

    So if you know you have a class 1 oil leak, probably best not to try and slide that by.

    And there are places that are full on crooks.

    I think they are referring to. If you are running a tag through landstar. If you have your own tag you can drive to a different shop for repairs
