Five Reasons Why Owner-Operators Choose Landstar

There are many reasons why independent owner-operators choose to lease to Landstar and many more reasons why they choose to stay. When independent owner-operators lease to Landstar, they choose the freedom to run when and where they want to travel. By tapping into our load board and exclusive mobile apps, and capitalizing on the relationships they build with agents, owner-operators have the tools they need to succeed.
