This will be the first of many episodes dedicate...

Our streaming issues have brought a lot of frustration. Larry is in West Virginia this weekend, so we're going to try a different streaming platform to see how it goes. The gremlins always show up when we're in the same room together, so buckle up! This ride could get bumpy. We are going to talk about the reasons you should NOT go into business.

We will be joined by Shell OEM Technical Specialist Karin Haumann to discuss topics such as engine oil specifications, maintenance, educating drivers on synthetics, and more. Oil is a big topic for us, so we thought this would be a great topic for our audience.

We're moving to Friday! The Sunday night broadcasts were taxing on us as we prepared for the week ahead. We believe Friday's will also be better because we're closer to the action of the previous week, so the chances of us being a little more spicy are elevated.

This week we are joined by our good friend and fellow Landstar BCO Steve Wheeler. Steve has extensive experience in taxes and accounting. This episode will be chocked full of information about setting up your business and making sure your accounting is done properly.

Introducing the Blue Ribbon MASTER CLASS for 2023. We will do a deep dive into the new and updated mentoring and training program. We will also cover the BCO Mentoring Program that includes Dispatch and Accounting.
