Landstar News & Resources

Landstar President and CEO Frank Lonegro reinforced a simple yet key message during the company’s first Safety Thursday Conference Call of 2026: focus behind the wheel is essential to protecting lives and livelihoods.

The transportation industry, especially professional drivers, is uniquely positioned to help combat human trafficking. At Landstar, safety, security, and service are more than business principles; they guide how we protect the communities in which we operate. Awareness is a critical part of that responsibility.

Landstar business capacity owner (BCO) Rebecca Heck is on her way to compete in a national truck driving competition after an impressive victory in the Illinois Truck Driving Championship. In June, she took first place in the 5-axle division.

For many of Landstar’s independent owner-operators, trucking is more than a career; it’s a lifestyle. For some, competing in truck beauty shows or truck driving competitions becomes a part of that lifestyle as an outlet for their industry-related passion.
