Landstar Questions

Watch out for discounts. When buying used truck i went to a dealer in houston because thy offered discounts to veterans. I think it was $3,000 off. I was ready to finalize the deal, i said im a vet and please apply the $3,000 discount.

‘Oh no sir, thank you for your service, but the discount is on those trucks over there.’

They pointed me to identical trucks, but are priced $3,000 higher.

So i went and got ripped off somewhere else

Had i known at the time that they broke the law by offering bogus veteran discounts, and that some military agency is actively searching these thugs out, i would have reported them at the time.

I just got screwed this weekend by MHC kenworth in south dallas over a bogus landstar discount that they promised, only to be later told they no longer offer landstar discounts.

I love how people always say “thank you for your service” just before they F you in the back.

 

Yes when buying parts I always get the price THEN ask for landstar discount.....some of these parts places will try to get over on you

 

What Is it called a preferred contractor? When your able to book loads off of thier board. Can anyone do this or do you have to have an MC for a year?

 

You have to have your Authority for a set period of time and have submitted a packet for approval to become a preferred contractor.

 

I'm eligible with a shiny new MC because I've been here for 2 years.

 

Know the time?

 

Are you getting an MC#?

 

Yes

 

Congrats !!!
