Yes, there are members here that are BCO's.
We were with Landstar for 8 months before returning to FedEx. We were never discouraged from posting anything anywhere by either Landstar or FedEx.

If that was true, I would have heard about it long ago. I am a Landstar Express America BCO and have posted and blogged extensively about Landstar for the last two years.
Indeed, the opposite is true. People at Landstar headquarters have requested my permission to republish some of my posts on sites of their choosing. There have been times when, before posting something about Landstar, I checked with corporate to make sure I would not be posting something proprietary or confidential about Landstar. In every case I was told it was OK to proceed.
Landstar is fully aware that I am active in this forum and other online sites. No one at Landstar headquarters has ever said or done anything to prohibit or discourage this activity, or to have my posts edited or removed. The same was true of our former carrier when Diane and I ran with them.

I'm glad you did. Now you can be a myth buster and enlighten your BCO friend.

I'd be happy to if I knew who he is, but you did not identify him or provide contact information so the duty -- to the extent it is a duty -- is yours. Otherwise you can leave him alone and let him continue to believe and tell others something that is not true.
Friends don't let friends go misinformed.

If that is the case, then you need to "un-friend" Guido for not informing you of the BCO identity...

I actually believe he is telling the truth. What reason would he have to lie about this? What benefit would it be to him to do so? Not any, really. We were talking about landstar and I was interested just hearing what he had learned there to see how much it may of changed since I was there 13 years ago. Some things have, and some things have not. Still a good company, and I am still in contact with some office staff from back in the days when it was in Charlotte.it was fun there back then. A real awesome group of people. Good money.Anyway, even though you haven't said it, please remember that just because your name is what it is doesn't mean you automatically become the spokesperson for that company nor do you know everything about it as well. Just something to think about.

You can believe anything you wish. The facts are reported in my post #4 above.
You are absolutely correct. I have never said, suggested or implied any such thing. But when I do know something about the company and post it here, readers can rely on it to be accurate.

I find it extremely unlikely that a company would tell their contractors not to post on a forum that the president of the company has posted on.

He probably wasn't lying but is either mistaken or repeating something he heard from someone else.
