    Does anybody know if Landstar makes any exception on hiring good driver with less than 1 year of experience? It sounds like LS is a good owner operating company to work for and I would like to get signed up... Any advice???:biggrin_25514:

    Landstar does it very by the book. Look at the requirements on their website. I'm not going to say they wouldn't make an exception, but I SERIOUSLY doubt it!!!! The wait will be worth it. I enjoyed my time there.

    Less than two yrs.

    Where I got my start as O/O my brother bought a truck and put me in it. You could say I was O/O in training at that point. I had all of the responsibility of making things go, but he had a tight grip on the purse strings for about 2 yrs.


    I've never driven for any of the big loser companies like Swift, JB, etc. I almost went to work for Knight, but then my brother bought a truck. Just because I didn't work for any of the big loser companies doesn't mean I didn't work for a small loser company for a few months. They really sucked.
