Landstar questions

The price of an apportioned plate varies quite a bit. Registered weight, actual mileage from last year as well as what states those miles were in contribute to plate cost. For example, my friend only runs 50-60k miles a year, hence his cheap plate. I only do 70-90k miles on a 80k pound plate, so I'll save money as well as have more control. It is far easier to just run LS plate, however, and the convenience was worth a couple hundred bucks, but the control is worth more to me currently. The more savvy o/o will understand why I'm going back under my own IRP and IFTA.

 

Sounds to me like somebody is planning to switch carriers or reactivate his mc number.

 

I took the Hazmat test and passed it, now I just need the drug screen and inspection. I just have a few minor things that I need to fix on my tractor this week.

I hope I don't have to wait very long to be scheduled for orientation.

 

Good luck w/everything. I'm thinking about coming to LS

 

Thanks! I'll post an update soon.

 

Where is orientation held?

 

I'll probably be in Jacksonville. I live about 20 minutes from their headquarters.

 

It will be at the "Homeless shelter" in St Augustine. Just east of 95 at the exit by the TA.

 

You can buy a max weight tag if you just have 5 axles, can permit 92000 in most states.

 

Oh... that's about a 45 minute drive from my house. Why do they call it the Homeless shelter?

Do they have a big parking lot? I'm trying to decide where I will park my truck while I'm home. I'm currently with a company that has a yard in Jacksonville and I'm trying it avoid spending $100+ a month for truck parking.
