Besides the appreciation giveaways, we invite all Landstar owner-operators to attend the Louisville Mid-America Trucking Show and the Dallas Great American Trucking Show in the Landstar Hospitality Room for safety meetings and operational updates.
The main reason I chose Landstar is the freedom, flexibility and stability. With over 10k owner operators, that speaks volumes,. They are an all around great company, I have no regrets.
