The truck giveaway was the highlight of the 2022 Landstar BCO All-Star Celebration held earlier this month in Orlando, Florida, and marked the 45th truck giveaway by Landstar.

More than 500 Landstar independent business capacity owners (or BCOs), their families and guests recently attended the first BCO Appreciation Days event of 2022, held at Graceland Exhibition Center in Memphis, Tennessee.

Landstar business capacity owners (BCOs) have a reputation for their entrepreneurial spirit, dedication to safe driving and professionalism. When an owner-operator becomes a Landstar BCO, they are given the support, tools and resources needed to nourish their independent businesses and keep them on the road to success.

The Landstar business capacity owner (BCO) who received financial assistance from the BCO Benevolence Fund says despite some hardships, 2018 gave him many, many reasons to be thankful.

“Humble” is the best word to describe the 2019 recipient of the Landstar BCO Lifetime Achievement Award Art Trezise - a three million mile safe driver and Roadstar® honoree.

Landstar President and CEO Jim Gattoni called Art Trezise’s safety record “flawless.” Since leasing to Landstar in 1979, Trezise has driven more than 3.5 million miles at Landstar without incident.

When she became an over-the-road team driver with her husband Del, LaBree says she never imagined her trucking career would take her down the path of advising or coaching other owner-operators.

Landstar has created a more formal approach to the support of its independent owner-operators and their success on the road.

After Hurricanes Harvey and Irma hit the U.S., the urgent need for help was evident and members of the Landstar family stepped up to support those impacted.
