Landstar awarded a new 2024 Freightliner® Cascadia® truck to Million Mile Safe Driver Willie Mixon of Quitman, Mississippi. The annual truck giveaway is the highlight of Landstar’s BCO All-Star Celebration in Orlando, Florida.

The All-Star Truck Giveaway is exclusively reserved for Landstar Million Mile Safe Drivers and Roadstar® honorees – the designation awarded to the “best of the best” for high levels of safety, productivity and excellence in customer service. Each of the truck owner-operators has driven at least one million consecutive miles with Landstar without a preventable accident. It is the 47^th truck Landstar has given away in its history and the 10^th truck given specifically to a Landstar Million Mile Safe Driver or Roadstar. This year’s truck was sponsored by Comdata and the prize includes all registration fees and taxes paid by Landstar.

“We are pleased to continue the annual tradition of giving away a new truck to one of Landstar’s best and safest owner-operators. The safety-first mindset of Landstar independent owner-operators who have reached the Million Mile Safe Driver and Roadstar milestones deserves to be celebrated. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than to give away a new truck, and Mr. Mixon is a wonderful recipient,” said Landstar President and CEO Jim Gattoni.
