A common question our recruiting department receives from owner operators applying with Landstar is, "How long does it take from the time I submit my application to when I can begin hauling for Landstar?" The answer: most approved applicants begin hauling for Landstar within 30 days.

Variables that play a role in this timeline include how fast your previous employers reply to the information Landstar requests, how soon applicants get their equipment inspected, and other factors such as orientation schedules and holidays. Unlike most carriers, Landstar's application approval process is 100% complete prior to attending orientation.

Representatives are eager to answer any questions you may have and happy to assist you in the application process. To get on the road to freedom, just click here if you'd like for us to contact you to discuss more in-depth, or click here if you'd like to apply now.
