Work References
Satisfactory references from the driver applicant's employers from
the three (3) years previous to the application. Any
"chargeable" or "preventable" accidents that are discovered in the
reference check, but don't appear on the MVR, will be counted as
accidents. Any discharge for a drug or alcohol offense will
disqualify the driver applicant from any further consideration.
Sister Carrier Transfers
Any driver applicant who was disqualified for safety violations
by another Landstar System, Inc. carrier will not be qualified by
any Landstar System, Inc. carrier. A driver disqualified for any
other reason by a Landstar carrier, who applies for qualification
by another Landstar carrier must have his/her qualification agreed
to by the disqualifying company President/General Manager before
being qualified. A sister company conversion may occur if a
complete file is obtained either via the sister company or through
a new application; a new drug test is taken; and there are no
outstanding debts with the carrier. Landstar Ranger has the right
to refuse to incur any outstanding debts by the applicant to the
sister company carrier.
Physical Examination
Completion of a physical examination by a DOT qualified medical
examiner recorded on a "long form" DOT Physical Examination Form,
showing that the driver applicant is medically qualified to operate
a commercial motor vehicle in accordance with 49CFR 391.41. The
physical examination must have been performed within twelve (12)
months of the driver applicant's application date and will be
verified for authenticity at the carrier's operation.
