Episode 109: Exploring the Platform Division at Landstar with BCO Phil Frese

April 30, 2022
Back in November 2020, Larry came up with the idea to offer an opportunity to BCO’s that had trucks they weren’t utilizing to bring them over and let us run them in our program. Phil Frese from Cullman, AL was on of the first to answer the call. Phil is an experienced Heavy Hauler with Landstar. In 2021, we saw the opportunity to put a driver on platform freight, but Chris and Larry don’t have much experience in that world. Phil agreed to be our Platform dispatcher and is now an integral part of the Blue Ribbon team. Phil is going to offer some insight on the opportunities available at Landstar pulling platform freight.

4 years ago, I drove a 389 Pete for Steve and Cherl out of Nevada. The truck was a 4 axle glider kit, 18 speed with a 550 Cat engine, pulling a Fontaine 55 ton stretch trailer with a 3rd axle raise. I've had over 3 years platform experience from flatbed, stepdeck to a tandem 40 ton RGN prior to working with the big Pete. I like your Blue Ribbon program and look foward to meeting with and working with y'all. I'm doing the hotshot work now here at Landstar. Truck# 13126. God bless!
