This year's class of Landstar Roadstars was acknowledged at a dinner in their honor during Landstar's annual convention in Marco Island, Florida.

Only a select few BCOs are honored each year. These 19 men and women were chosen out of more than 8,000 current Landstar BCOs. The addition of this year's class raises the total number of Landstar Roadstars to 285 who have been honored since the company began presenting the award in 1990.

Roadstars are honored for their consistently high levels of safety, productivity and excellent customer service. Each has also been previously recognized as a Landstar Million Mile Safe Driver.

"As Roadstars, these men and women epitomize the qualities which make Landstar uniquely successful -- entrepreneurship, the drive to be their own boss, and a commitment to safety and excellence in customer service," said Landstar President and CEO Henry Gerkens. "We're proud to recognize their impressive achievements as elite professionals who deliver what only the best of class can."
