Home » Landstar Contractors’ Advantage Purchasing Program
The current program information states that LCAPP is available to Landstar BCOs. A BCO, or Business Capacity Owner, is an independent owner-operator who has qualified and leases equipment to a Landstar motor carrier.
Eligibility, participating vendors, discounts, and individual program terms should be confirmed using current information rather than relying on older published offers.
If you’re considering becoming an owner-operator in the Landstar network, review the Owner-Operator Requirements and Driving Opportunities.
LCAPP can provide eligible Landstar BCOs access to purchasing programs and third-party discounts for common trucking business expenses. The current page identifies categories that include fuel, tires, parts and service, new and used trucks and trailers, equipment financing, extended warranties, accessories, load-securement items, computer hardware and software, and transportation technology.
The actual value of a program depends on the product, vendor, location, and current terms. Owner-operators should compare the complete cost and decide whether an available program makes sense for their individual operation.
For a broader look at expenses that affect profitability, see Owner-Operator Pay and Earnings. The existing LCAPP page supports these purchasing categories directly.
Current LCAPP information includes purchasing opportunities for new and used trucks and trailers, along with equipment-financing programs. That can give eligible BCOs another option to review when considering equipment for their trucking business.
LCAPP should not automatically be interpreted as one specific lease-purchase arrangement. Financing, discounts, equipment availability, ownership terms, and total costs can vary by vendor and current program.
Before making an equipment decision, compare the complete terms and review the equipment path that fits your operation: Dry Van Lease Options, Flatbed Lease Options, or Heavy Haul Lease Options.
Owner-operators should look for roadside assistance designed for commercial trucks and heavy-duty equipment rather than relying only on a passenger-vehicle roadside plan. Useful services can include heavy-duty towing, commercial tire service, jump starts, emergency fuel delivery, lockout assistance, and help locating qualified truck-repair facilities.
When comparing plans, look at the service area, towing limits, tractor and trailer coverage, exclusions, response process, service-call charges, and what you may still have to pay out of pocket. Downtime matters too, so access to qualified heavy-duty service along the lanes you regularly run can be just as important as the membership price.
Roadside-assistance programs and vendors can change. If you’re evaluating current owner-operator support and purchasing options, Contact Secrest Direct to confirm what information is currently available.
