The freedom to run your business your way.

It's well known in the industry that when you lease on with Landstar, you're joining one of the best companies for independent owner/operators. If the thought of becoming a Landstar Business Capacity Owner (BCO) appeals to you, your next question might be: "I've never run on my own before, how can I make the Landstar system work for me?"

At Landstar, it's always your truck and your choice on the loads you haul. The decisions on where and when to run are up to you. But the road to success, as these veteran Landstar BCOs can attest, comes from making good decisions and taking advantage of all the resources that Landstar has to offer.

Use Load Alerts

Load Alerts helps Landstar BCO Tom Arnold maximize the use of his liftgate trailer. "Load Alerts takes the worry out of looking for specific types of loads," says Arnold. "If a load requires a liftgate, I get an alert. I can even search for loads posted by agents in advance."

Take advantage of LCAPP discounts

BCO James Spangler just loves the Landstar fuel savings program. "Over the course of taking on between 250 and 275 gallons of fuel, I save between $100 and $130 depending on price," says Spangler. "It puts money into my pocket instead of someone else's."

Rely on Landstar's support network

When BCO Terry Ellis left the corporate world to pursue a second career as an independent owner/operator, he banked on the Landstar support team for help. "Landstar's BCO Advisors bent over backwards to help me get started. Their advise made my career transition easier and they were always available to answer my questions."

Expand your service offering

To meet the specific freight needs of customers, BCOs Stuart and Nancy Thomas own and operate a double drop, 3-axle, side curtain specialty trailer. "Once we determined that there was a viable markent for this type of trailer, we decided to make a go of it," said Thomas. "That's just part of the beauty of leasing to Landstar.
