Quick Landstar question, Load Securement Training

I'll bite.

@sawmill and @Old Man are smart cookies for different reasons, so listen good.

The DOD clearance may only be needed if you plan to run TEAM , AA&E.

@sawmill 's comment on the TYPE of trailer is solid advice, or as @Old Man would say " I've spent far more money on trailers than tractors in my time" .

I like "saving and planning". Include "learning and wrenching " in that approach.

You may find at the LS stage, your own authority becomes a wash - if you build enough good contacts.

Good luck.

 

You better be home on the range with the rig all shiny and put away to be spending all this time here . . .

 

How many times must I tell you rookies to do a COMPLETE pre trip ??!!

(Includes multiple radio checks, and testing jakes in the lot)

 

Note - @T-BoneX , on the referenced picture, on the rear of the sleeper aerofoil, is four words . . . . unless you're the kinda guy that just loves driving ALL the time.

 

Fine. I'll put the stout down and go cut grass. And test the pool water.

 

Was under the impression that it required lots of training to secure loads.

This changes everything.

 

Yes I'm home. Good place to be right now

 

Lots of common sense, and some good training.

Otherwise it'd be like neuroscience, and loads would never get delivered.

 

Question
Do you know if LS will hire you?

Do you know your security clearance is only good while you are at a LS company? You can't take it with you.

Buying a trailer is the way to go, they don't lose value like a truck and make money.

What part of the country is home?
