So today I completed step 1 which was to have my T/T re-DOT inspected (even though the current inspection was still good) by an "approved" Landstar shop.
Tomorrow I'll take a whiz quiz (again at their approved clinic) as well as a new DOT physical. Once I have those wickets met and faxed off to them I should be receiving more paper work to fill out and send back with copies of my titles and registrations. I am sure there is more, but these are just the steps I recall off the top of my head.

I will more than likely be going to Grand Prarie when the time comes and I too was figuring on driving either a rental or my own 4wheeler. Just faxed off my T/T DOT inspections, physical forms & card, and drug test custody form.......now I'll just sit back and wait for my next set of "hoops" to jump through.

Well Heck, I don't log on for awhile and changes are being made...
So.... Instead of a Davis truck now I need to look for a Landstar truck huh...?
I'm still with Arrow, They've been treating me pretty good. I've been westcoast regional for about a month or so. I get home pretty often under load and head back out the next morning unless I get a load that doesn't deliver until Monday morning which is ok with me.
I did have a hickup last friday.
I told the truck boss, DM, that I needed to be home before friday 6pm last week. she was ok with it and I was sent to Yuma wed for a drop on thu am and pickup 2 miles down the street. My drop went great but the pick up was 2.5 hrs waiting to get loaded. When I got back to Phoenix my trailer to LA wasnt there so They had me grab another trailer and have a p/up friday AM which would get me home friday for a day then I would head out sat am. Every dang trailer I looked at was screwed up somehow. I found a spread axle aluminum and did a pre trip on fri am. I found a bad cut on the trailer tire so I tried to see if we could fix in the yard. By the end of it I was sent to a tire shop that had me fixed within an hour. Then I waited 3 more hrs for Arrow to pay the company. By 1pm I told the DM I was not going to p/up the load to find someone else to do it and I was going to get a rental car to get home...
I got back today and asked if everything was cool and was told that there was drama going on. I told my DM that I guess I'll be getting bad loads now... 15 minutes later Qualcomm chirps to load pavers for home depot in CA which is 30 miles from home. I've already have a preplan for my next load after I drop.
I think that everything is looking ok for me as of now.... I'm regional staying pretty close to home and making pretty decent money. I run on precentage of a load. I do know that I have to check the miles vs what it pays. as long as I stay at 1.45-50 a load or higher I'm doing ok. Most loads are load and next day drop. So as long as I hustle I'm ok. besides I haven't had to tarp except once while being regional.
Overall.... Not a bad company..... so far... the people in the terminal all know my name and are very friendly.
