Landstar News & Resources

Each year during National Truck Driver Appreciation Week (NTDAW), industry professionals across America take time to honor the country’s 3.5 million professional truck drivers.

Landstar is giving away a big rig to one of its 10,000 independent owner-operators (business capacity owners or BCOs). The annual deliver to win Truck Giveaway powered by Comdata, will happen Wednesday, Sept. 12.

Seasoned in coordinating the transport of high-security freight, independent Landstar Agent Lori Brackus at CJXL Transport (LPB agency) in Conifer, Colorado, started planning for the spacecraft’s move months in advance.

Landstar Million Mile Safe Driver David Zelsdorf was the lucky winner of the 2019 Western Star 5700XE at the Landstar All-Star Truck Giveaway powered by Pilot/Flying J and Western Star.

Come July, one lucky Landstar Million Mile business capacity owner (BCO) will drive home from the annual BCO All-Star Celebration in a new 2019 Western Star 5700XE.

Some priceless wartime artifacts were secured inside this Landstar dry van – irreplaceable items used by the many men and women who, as they served our country, were captured and held for years in captivity.

When the time came to move to a new location, it took three dry vans to transport the industrial kitchen equipment that filled a large warehouse.

Transportation may not be the first thought that comes to mind when thinking of national defense but it plays a critical role in maintaining the United States’ security.

Anyone involved in moving heavy or oversize loads knows that some take more effort than others. That was certainly the case with a 94,000-pound scissor-lift platform that stretches 110-feet long and spans 24 feet 6 inches – taking up 2 lanes.
