I was still with Landstar when I was approved for my authority on 06/05, and on 6/8 I went and got my IFTA stickers.I did not start running under my own until 06/25 and yesterday I just cancelled my lease with LS.After my authority was approved I was still running loads as a BCO.Do I need to get my IFTA report from Landstar for the days in between when I was approved and the day I cancelled my lease?This will be for the 7/30 filing that is coming up.
Driver qualifications folder:
FMCSA called me to find out if I will need an audit as a "new entrant".They also said someone will be calling within 18 months to schedule an audit.All this stuff I knew and also expected.
MY driver folder:
Part of my driver qualifications folder will include a drugtest.I asked OOIDA if I would need a drugtest since I was part of a drug consortium while with LS, and they said NO.They asked me to get proof from LS and I did.I did get the results from a random drug test I took in March, their certification of being part of a drug test program and OOIDA sent them a form to fill out to show proof.
Does this unusual step seem familiar to anyone?This saved me $50 from taking another drug test.
I am also thankful for being out of that 120day inspection.Needing reflective tape on a headache rack at some inspection sites.Unbelievable!!
