Landstar Contractors Advantage Purchasing Program (LCAPP)
LCAPP is a program provided exclusively to Landstar owner-operators that gives discounts on fuel, tires, and a variety of other business expenses and equipment. With over 9,000 owner-operator units in the Landstar system, Landstar uses this buying power to secure valuable discounts to improve its operators’ bottom line.
LCAPP Fuel Purchasing Programs
LCAPP offers savings on everyday fuel purchases. Landstar BCOs pumped 125 million gallons of fuel in 2016 and LCAPP helped them save more than $35 million in fuel costs, averaging $.28 in savings per gallon.
Fuel Purchasing Details
There are various types of fuel rebates available for Landstar BCOs through LCAPP.
Cents Off
Most locations listed in the LCAPP® directory offer cents off the pump price of fuel, where the discount is credited back to your card balance. LandstarOnline offers a list of stops that will help determine which will have the best fuel value.
Remember, your Landstar card will be charged for the full pump price, then a rebate will be applied after the initial transaction.
Cost Plus
Most TravelCenters of America and Petro locations offer either “Cents Off” or “Cost Plus” rebates. Cost Plus (Cost+) discounts are based on the cost of fuel at the truck stop.
Before fueling, call the TA/Petro fuel price hotline at 1-800-494-FUEL (3835) to find the cost at that location on that day.
Check www.LandstarOnline.com to verify the current pumping fee and locations participating.
Landstar cards will be charged for the full pump price and then you will receive an instant rebate credited to your card for the discount available.
The cost at each location changes daily.

Price tires with LCAPP, and take your authorization number to a tire dealership that handles LCAPP approved accounts for the brand of tires priced.
Verify all charges on the delivery receipt before signing it. Keep a copy for your records, the shop will fax the delivery receipt to LCAPP at 1-888-329-5787.
