Interesting, just talked to a Schneider recruiter about their WalMart dedicated in Sterling,IL. I looked at the Flex schedule job but frankly who...
The problem is that Hazmat is not properly compensated for in terms of the driver. Check calls are just another uncompensated duty for most...
I did a lease with them but it's been a while back now. Schneider not any worse then any company with a mix of company drivers and contractors....
Yes I think I would run the old card but be warned another doctor may eventually ask you to have the sleep study done. It does appear that some...
The sad part is enough people do this and get paid far less than a professional lumper does for the same work. This basically happens with OTR...
Any of the big companies are going to make the list more frequently. You're bound to encounter more of these trucks in your travels. I do think in...
I can tell you from working out of Rockford,IL Landstar that their freight is much more OTR than local. We have a handful of O/O that do some...

Thanks Skate-Board! Yes, I have changed my tune on dead heading vs hauling cheap freight. Let the Swift's of the world haul crap for next to...
Yes, but the drawback is nobody to back up the sale. Those auction trucks are sold AS IS and don't offer much in the way of warranty. Unless...
I bought a decent fleet truck in that range. Had a Select Truck warranty on power train and things like starter, alternator and AC compressor. I...
Simply supply and demand. Don't under estimate the power of brokers to under cut each other on rates. Landstar agents compete against each other...
Join the club, I lease to Landstar and while freight pays OK to Texas the loads out don't. It comes with the territory of too many trucks not...
No if you have your own trailer Landstar does not require you to have a tracking device on it. But that is because you are not doing drop n hooks...
I remember when logging a fuel stop just had to be on the same day! Now Landstar requires a 15 minute window. Yea, it used to be 30 min but I...
