Landstar System, Inc., a worldwide, asset-light provider of integrated transportation management solutions delivering safe, specialized transportation services, has announced the date of the 2021 Landstar All-Star Truck Giveaway, along with the names of the four Landstar owner-operators in the running to win a 2022 Volvo® VNL64T truck. The truck giveaway will take place virtually via Zoom video conferencing on Tuesday, July 13.

“Landstar is pleased to continue the tradition of awarding a new truck to one of our Roadstar or Million Mile Safe Drivers as a way to recognize the safety and service excellence of these elite owner-operators,” said Landstar President and CEO Jim Gattoni.

The giveaway truck, a 2022 Volvo VNL64T, is dark garnet red metallic in color and has features including a 455-horsepower Volvo D13 engine, Volvo 12-speed I-Shift transmission and Volvo Active Driver Assist 2.0 collision-avoidance system.

In no particular order, the four finalists eligible to win this year are:

  • 1 Million Mile Safe Driver Dennis Bramblett from Hannibal, Missouri

  • 1 Million Mile Safe Driver and Landstar Roadstar® Lisa Ringelstetter from Plain, Wisconsin

This year’s All-Star Truck Giveaway finalists were randomly drawn from a pool of Landstar’s 1,102 active 1 Million Mile, 2 Million Mile and 3 Million Mile Safe Drivers and Roadstars. The Roadstar designation is the company’s highest honor for truck owner-operators awarded to the “best of the best” based on their high levels of safety, productivity and excellence in customer service.

The truck winner will be determined by each of the four finalists selecting a single box among four boxes, one of which contains the key to the new truck. Whoever guesses the correct box will win the life-changing prize! A recording of the 2021 Landstar All-Star Truck Giveaway will be available on Landstar’s social media channels immediately afterwards on Tuesday, July 13, 2021.
