Beware of Landstar Trucking Broker-Carrier contracts! Unless there are actual (hands on) damages to the product, Landstar refuses to take any-ANY responsibility for any (proven beyond any reasonable doubt) damaging actions of the iliterate drivers. From the "Rip Off" reports on here already, they apparentlly don't pay their drivers and likely the largest percentage of drivers they will get are not going to be your "general population" high school graduates. I'm sure they have "some" good and decent drivers but do you want to take a chance and gamble that you'd get one of these for your load?
Landstar's "policy" is to refuse to pay, negotiate, or even acknowledge ANY wrongdoing unless you can produce actual pictures of damaged goods. All else is "CLAIM REFUSED"! If you don't specifically have it in writing, they will absolutely hold it against you. They have a very limited, if any, amount of scruples, concience, and responsibility (opinion of many) and they'll step on anyone in the way of them getting their next dollar (and that's my observation and opinion...of course!).
DON'T USE LANDSTAR- unless you're shipping dog food that you don't care if it makes it to the destination or not...
On 3 different loads this companies brokers have promised to pay for the delays in getting loaded and unloaded then tells you they've sent emails to their supervisors it'll be taken care of, Then you can't get any call backs, or get through to them if you do they hang up on you. Landstar with 3 loads has not paid for anytime for detention which is over 68hrs.They flat out lie to you , yes well get it taken care of get you compensated, but only over the phone I've figured out, so it's o/o word against the brokers there costing o/o alot of money. for waiting. with out paying any of it after they get you emptu.
