Yes, I thought that too, but they are not pestering me to go to EOBR. The violations are not giving them ammo to push the EOBR. Maybe Landstar...
That's my argument. Trailer tracking uses a cellular system and I have my doubts that time stamps using this method are not completely accurate...
I lease to Landstar and I still use paper logs. Obviously we know paper logs are in 15 minute incremental blocks of time. I typically round up...
Yes, I go to a certain shop that is trust worthy myself. Far as I am concerned not being able to get a advance on your card is the same problem as...
Do's and do not's at Landstar Funny! Definitely think Landstar is still a viable option for a owner operator. Less so maybe for new BCO's with a...
Yes, I had a trailer and I sold it because my BCO adviser talked me into doing drop and hook for a agent. My trailer was getting old so I decided...
Folks just to update on my lack of having a empty trailer from Landstar. Tomorrow Landstar will be renting a Xtra Lease van trailer for me 4...
I would make your case to keep it if I were you. I used to be someone who felt playing by the rules was correct. But that was until I did the...
Well we both have different experiences. I have been to customers who wanted me to drop a trailer but they did not have a Landstar empty on site....
Yes, I suppose that would be a way to cheat the system. But then you have new BCO's going hundreds of miles just to get their first trailer? To me...
I took time off in June and being on the van side after a week of inactivity Skyblitz reports the trailer inactive and trailer utilization will...
i would have to agree . The most successful BCO is the one who uses the tools the best. I think many new BCO's lack the ability to reach out to...
I will be honest with you about Landstar. Its not all roses to have a load board to work off of. Just like any load board you have good loads and...
Landstar is full of wannabe agents anymore. They are not really anything more then a conduit for a third party or they simply know so little about...
Unfortunately CB performance for truck makers is a thing of the past. I have a 2006 Century and Freightliner back then started incorporating the...
Glad to here Landstar is working out for you. I also am a BCO and have been with Landstar a total of 8 years but not consecutive. Right now I am...
Well I guess you like drinking that Koolaid but to me a "free" paper log trumps a weekly, monthly or yearly fee. Even $7.50 a week is $390 a year....
You can get bad diesel almost anywhere. Its hard to know what is happening underground. I would say, what you might have got was a bio diesel...
Landstar needs to get its CSA crap in order and so its shoving E logging on the BCO's. I think its coming anyway because DOT will mandate it no...
Success is not just about the owner operator. I know plenty of hard working Landstar BCO's who are not doing well on the van side. Mr. SHC admits...
