    Yeah, first is online courses, then comes cabs class/ sit down class, then comes the curtain call pretty much. I think it's the repeat offenses of the same violation that really does it.

    But no, I've moved on. No interest in going back to LS at this point

    And I apologize if this conversation frustrates you, or brings back bad memories. I can relate. I really do appreciate your input, and if you ever make it out west, dinner is on me.

    I did debate this too. But then I thought about how long I've been making excuses on their behalf. Kind of like the abused women who says " he only hits me when he's drunk "... I was pre accepted at a friend of mine's company and after much weighing of the pros n cons I decided to move on

    They should put a giant sticker on
    Your truck to tell us where you rate. Then instead of parking by you we’d go over and park between Swift and Werner.

    I’m in the top 12 at my terminal.

    This all rings a bell now - a LS buddy got a hazmat route violation, (online courses), then a lane violation ( don’t remember the exact violation), which resulted in a CABS class -

    I think he’s been a good kiddie since then but I feared he was approaching cancellation.

    I wouldn’t worry too much - but one can suffer a bad luck run once in a while.

    Yea, was talking to a BCO that parked next to me. He said he just got his first level 3, and only inspection in 3 years at Landstar lol.
    Am I running too much? I've had 3 clean ones already lol.

    I'm getting ready to buy a truck through my company and make regular payments on it for about 6 months just to help my poor credit then, pay it off in full, buy a trailer (I think) & head to LS so looks like we'll be starting at roughly the same time frame. I have a few friends there that are very happy. My Wife is with me & we pretty much live on the road so hopefully we'll do ok.
