FREE Holiday Meals for BCOs

The Landstar tradition of offering free holiday meals continues in hopes of making the season a little brighter for independent business capacity owners (BCOs) on the road and away from their families during the holidays.

Landstar has teamed up with TravelCenters of America and Petro Stopping Centers (TA/Petro) to offer complimentary meals on Thanksgiving (Nov. 26) and Christmas (Dec. 25).

To ensure a successful transaction when printing your complimentary holiday meal coupon, TA/Petro is asking UltraOne® members to register for the coupon. The link to register for the Christmas meal coupon is posted for BCOs via LandstarOnline.com.

The link will be active until 11:59 p.m. Friday, Dec. 18. The meal coupon will be available to print the day before Christmas, but can only be redeemed on Christmas Day.

BCOs who experience issues printing the coupon should contact LCAPP at 1-800-531-5227. Landstar BCOs who are not an UltraOne cardholder should visit a Landstar field operations center or contact LCAPP to ask for a holiday meal coupon.

Coupons are valid for up to $25 for an individual or up to $50 for two people (team drivers/spouse) at participating TA and Petro locations with full-service restaurants. The coupon includes the meal, dessert, drink, and tax. It is not valid for tips. Photocopies of the coupon will not be accepted.

Please monitor LandstarOnline.com for updates about holiday meal coupons for Thanksgiving and additional information about holiday meal coupons for Christmas. And be sure to check www.ta-petro.com/location-updates or TA/Petro’s TruckSmart® mobile app to determine restaurant openings and closings, as they could change daily depending on state mandates.
