How Compliance Affects Your Loads

Tractor placed in hold status (unable to receive trip advances & not visible on available load board).

Load will be stopped in route if non-compliant issues disqualify the operator or equipment.

Load repowered if operator or equipment cannot satisfy non-compliant issues in a timely manner.

Equipment Compliance

Periodic Inspections (120 Day)

Tractor or trailer on hold if past due.

Failed inspection stops load until repairs are made.

DOT/MTO Roadside Inspections

Driver violations have been corrected or OOS time met.

Maintenance and Repair Reports (MR)

Operator Compliance

Random Drug & Alcohol Testing

Operator must proceed immediately to collection site. Delay only when necessitated by time sensitive load. Test must be completed the day of notification.

Failure or refusal to test is considered a “positive”.

All positive results lead to immediate cancellation. Load will be repowered. Operator not allowed to requalify with Landstar.

Help us avoid untimely notifications: Enter accurate detail on the load type. Enter accurate status updates for time and location.

Hours of Service (HOS)

General Guidance For Planning Loads Average 500 miles day; allow 10 hours rest for each day. Use all fields available on load board (pickup / delivery windows) Build in extra time for:

Loading / unloading delays Roadside inspections Random drug & alcohol tests Major cities with known traffic congestion
