Landstar News & Resources

BCO Stacie Simmons won a bright blue 2025 Kenworth T-680 last week at the 2024 Landstar BCO Appreciation Days event in Durant, Oklahoma. 

Every year, Landstar hosts its BCO Appreciation Days when the entire network makes an extra special effort to show business capacity owners (BCOs) just how much their dedication to safety and service excellence means to Landstar employees, agents and customers.

Landstar has given away brand-new trucks for more than two decades. What happens in the lives –  and businesses – of the lucky BCOs who drive home with one? We followed up with some recent winners to find out.

As entrepreneurs, Landstar Owner-Operators never stop moving; not only in the literal sense, but also in terms of education. After all, to stop learning about the ever-changing transportation industry is to risk business stagnation. With Landstar, they always have resources for their businesses within reach at the company’s field operations centers.

Besides the cool factor in hauling interesting and mission-critical loads, there are more tangible perks to operating as an expedited services provider.

Landstar BCO Joseph Perez has been driving professionally for 34 years and first leased on with Landstar in 2014. We asked him to tell us more about what he calls “a pretty good career here.”

Landstar presented its BCO Lifetime Achievement Award to Landstar Three Million Mile Safe Driver and Landstar Roadstar recipient Duane Vorst earlier this month at the 2024 Landstar BCO All-Star Celebration. 

Landstar inducted the newest class of Million Mile Safe Drivers and Roadstar® honorees at the 2024 All-Star Celebration.

The All-Star Truck Giveaway is exclusively reserved for Landstar Million Mile Safe Drivers and Roadstar® honorees – the designation awarded to the “best of the best” for high levels of safety, productivity and excellence in customer service.
