Landstar System, Inc., an asset-light provider of integrated freight transportation solutions, recently gave away its 52nd truck to an independent Landstar business capacity owner (BCO), the company’s term for independent owner-operators who lease to Landstar.
BCO Christian Sanchez Cantù won a Landstar blue 2026 Freightliner Cascadia during Landstar BCO Appreciation Days held this year in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Sanchez Cantù from Laredo, Texas, was one of five finalists randomly selected from the contest’s pool of approximately 8,000 eligible BCOs. The truck giveaway is traditionally the highlight of Landstar’s BCO Appreciation Days, a two-day event held annually to thank leased owner-operators for their commitment to safety, security and customer service excellence.
“It’s always an honor to be part of this incredible tradition. Each truck giveaway is more than just a celebration. The giveaway is a moment to recognize the dedication and professionalism of our independent business capacity owners,” said Landstar President and CEO Frank Lonegro. “We’re proud to celebrate Christian’s commitment to safety, security and service with this new truck. We look forward to seeing how this opportunity helps Christian continue along the road to success.”
“This truck will greatly improve my ability to run my business,” said Sanchez Cantù . “I prayed I was going to win and that this event would be a positive day for me, and it was. I am very grateful and overwhelmed!”
Eligible Landstar owner-operators automatically earned entries to this truck giveaway throughout the year by safely delivering loads during the giveaway period. They were eligible to earn more entries for the giveaway by attending safety meetings and participating in Landstar’s nationwide Safety Thursday Conference Call held each month throughout the year.
After the entry period closed, all entries were pooled and a computerized random number generator selected the finalists. Finalists are required to be present at the giveaway.
