    I've been with them since march. They take forever to process ur application but grin n bear it. They will call u for info a thousand times, but grin and bear it.

    Its ok, but they seem to post a lot of ghost loads and their agents do quite a lot of double brokering. What pulling has said about the agents is true.

    LS also nickels and dimes you, so prepare for that.

    Be careful, be safe, be smart, be efficient, be profitable. Repeat number one and two over and over and again. Landstar has a very low tolerance for anything trouble realted. Don't get in trouble and LS won't bother you.

    Hopefully you live in an area where you can load out and get home for reasonable rates. Find a lane that works for you and work it! Or run gypsy and follow the freight, whatever works for you

    Pick your battles wisely with corporate. Not every thing is worth fighting over.

    Got to keep your head in the game, keep learning, and stay off the trouble radar


    Good l u c k welcome
