Landstar - Answers to Questions

You into Computers also?

I'm just up the road in Pflugerville, tx.

 

Yeah computers for gaming, talk about expensive, I want a dual core Intel box with 4 gig memory, 1 terrabyte storage on a 10,000 rpm drive with a 1 gb video card, you know just your std inexpensive stuff

 

So are you one of those guys that was forced to learn PC's to run your games?
I had a lot of students like that. Kind of a good way to get into the PC.
I myself am not a gamer. But I can appreciate a nice gamers PC.

I got a nice server with Dual Zeons and two disk arrays. Standard video card. LOL

 

In '98 I ordered and home studied A+ certification course, it has been invaluable. Very outdated now but still aplicable.

I am leased to LTI, one of the sister companies in the Mason-Dixon system. I get a broker load from Landstar once in a while. Have been considering changing as it looks like much more freedom at L-star.

So did you get your certification?

Freedom and Money should be motivation enough.

 

No, I didn't sit for test. Just took course for knowledge of how pooters work inside. Now know more about how to choose one to purchase and what the bleep is wrong when they don't work.

I have a fair amount of freedom and the $ is good where I am now, but we have to have a "home agent". I just want to free lance. I've been watching L-S broker boards. It looks to me like a guy could do well over there with following trailer spec. 53' low step, 3 axle, dove tail with ramps. Stretch double-drop RGN also looks interesting. Any thoughts?

Dave

 

Trailer like that drop deck would do very well. High capcity cont. from coast to coast. Most options for loads covered.

DD RGN I see alot over here but I know very little.

The BCO board is alot more different than the Broker board. Loads are quite different.

 

Yep, I've talked to recruiters. They offer copies of several days boards, but thats about it. It takes more than that to get a real feel for the game. Of course if ya got a good MVR, "Come on over, it's great, we'll hire ya". We've got a pretty good sized system ourselves. It's just that "home agent" thing that chaps my un-mentionables. Thanks.
