Announcing the Newest Landstar Roadstars

Jacksonville, Florida – Landstar System, Inc., a safety-first non-asset-based provider of transportation capacity and logistics services, has recognized 18 Business Capacity Owners (BCOs) as Landstar Roadstars. This lifetime achievement award is the highest level of recognition a BCO can receive at Landstar.

Roadstars are honored for their consistently high levels of safety, productivity and excellent customer service. Each has also been previously recognized as a Landstar Million Mile Safe Driver.

“These 18 BCOs truly are the stars of North America’s roadways. They represent the best of the best in regards to hard work, professionalism and safety in the trucking industry,” said Landstar President and CEO Henry Gerkens. “We are honored to induct them into this elite group of Landstar BCOs and proud to have them as part of our team.”
