One of Landstar’s Safest Owner-Operators to Win a 2022 Volvo® VNL64T on July 13

Awarding the Star of Quality in March & April 2021

Expecting the unexpected – whether it comes in the form of snow, ice, tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, thick fog, or just a sudden gust of wind – being prepared for erratic weather has always been a part of Landstar’s safety message to Owner-Operators.

Hours on the road, time spent away from friends and family – it is no secret that being a professional truck driver can be a lonely profession. A pet, whether it be feline, canine or a feathered friend, can offer drivers companionship during isolated times, and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), lead to a healthier, happier life.

When asked about becoming an entrepreneur, business owners often say that being their own boss and running a business is exciting and freeing, and above all, challenging. Entrepreneurship takes both skill and determination. For independent Owner-Operators like those leased to Landstar, it is not always the most obvious expertise that makes them successful.

Each month, deserving independent business capacity owners (BCOs) and independent freight agents earn Star of Quality awards which recognize extra efforts and individual dedication to service.

Low Department of Transportation (DOT) reportable accident rates earned Landstar Express America a fleet safety honor from the American Trucking Association (ATA) Safety Management Council and the Florida Trucking Association.
