Landstar So Far

Definitely the best place to work. Best place I have worked anyway.

Good parts-

Good freight / good money / they leave you alone.

Bad parts-

Very little help from the front office. You figure everything out for yourself.

Agents-
I've been there 6 weeks now, and have 3 outstanding agents calling me directly with good freight, sometimes really good freight, and have to turn it down sometimes.

I've dealt with 10 agents now-
4 are outstanding. Just pro's through & through.
3 are very good.
1 was " Praise God on everything" and somewhat slimy from Florida.
1 was a gangster from Southern California and very slimy.
1 was scum of the earth drug addict female based out of Reno.

Good luck all. Be safe.

It is the best company without question. Wished I had 6 more trucks they'd never stop lol.

 

I'm just an O/O. I have no clue how LS hires drivers for other drivers.

 

Company van.

 

I did my truck as a lease through Freightliner.
No state taxes or FET. No balloon. 100% write off. No penalty for early payoff. If I didn't have to be home, even having to be home, I think I could pay the truck off around the first of the year.

 

This I will tell you regarding agents. I've not seen any middle ground. Except maybe the dude from Florida

They are either consumate pros or dirtbags.

And if for a second you sense dirtbag, just move on.
