Landstar Orientation Process – Join us Today!

Landstar owner-operators or BCOs are considered small-business owners. After you have submitted your Landstar application to lease with us and you have been accepted, you will then attend a two-day orientation. During this orientation, one day is centered around how to run a successful and profitable trucking business.

While the Landstar orientation process is mainly for owner-operators, Landstar recommends that spouses, significant others, and business partners attend the two-day orientation. Once orientation is complete, BCOs are given a BCO advisor who is a Landstar corporate employee trained to help you in all aspects of your trucking operation.

What to Expect at a Landstar Orientation?

At Landstar’s two-day orientation, owner-operators will go over several things to help make their trucking business a success. While you are your own boss as an owner-operator, Landstar as a company never leaves you. When choosing to lease with Landstar, you are choosing to join a family. Landstar sticks by all its drivers to help ensure a safe and profitable trucking business.

Below are a few things you can expect from the Landstar orientation:

  • Landstar’s Load Board – With the Landstar Load Board, you learn how to search for specific loads based on your preferences. These preferences can include a rate per mile, gross revenue, location, and more.
  • Safety – Landstar’s middle name is “Safety.” We aim for safety to be our number one priority – Landstar Safety is “Safety Before Service.”
  • Business Education – If you are a new owner-operator, by the time you leave the two-day orientation, you will have learned many ways to run a successful business. This can include your break-even cost per mile, the Landstar Contractors Advantage Purchasing Program (LCAPP), buy fuel and reduce taxes, save on tires, fuel, and other services.
  • Automatic Load Alerts – With the Landstar Load Board, you can receive automatic load alerts that are sent to your phone or email matching your load preferences.
