Celebrating America’s Professional Truck Drivers

This week is National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, when professional truckers are recognized for hauling everything from the food on our tables to the clothes on our backs, and much more.

Landstar is pleased to take part in the national show of gratitude for all the professional truck drivers who are committed to one of the most demanding and important jobs in North America.

We are proud to honor our independent Landstar BCOs and carriers this week and every week. Thank you for keeping America moving and providing service excellence while putting safety first.
